Small and midsize businesses (SMBs) can now access the same level of cybersecurity and cloud performance once reserved for major enterprises, thanks to Inventive HQ.
The cybersecurity and cloud consulting firm is on a mission to simplify security, reduce cloud costs, and deliver high-impact IT support, without the enterprise price tag.
Founded by experts who previously led technology for a $250M e-commerce company and a billion-dollar airline, Inventive HQ delivers enterprise-grade expertise to companies that typically can’t access this level of support.
“Our goal is to empower growing businesses with the tools and knowledge they need to stay secure and efficient without drowning them in tech jargon or locking them into rigid contracts,” Sean Conroy.

What Sets Inventive HQ Apart
Inventive HQ offers a rare combination of cybersecurity leadership, 24/7 threat monitoring, cloud optimization, and strategic guidance, all under one roof. The company’s services are designed for small and midsize organizations that need expert help but aren’t ready to hire full-time staff.
- Security Leadership Without the Overhead
Through its virtual CISO (vCISO) service, Inventive HQ provides strategic cybersecurity leadership tailored to each client’s unique risk profile and business goals. - Round-the-Clock Monitoring and Rapid Response
With managed detection and response (MDR), the firm delivers 24/7 threat monitoring, alerting, and incident handling, keeping clients protected day and night. - Smarter Cloud Spending and Performance
Inventive HQ helps businesses cut unnecessary cloud costs and improve performance, especially in Google Cloud environments. - No-Jargon, Straightforward Advice
Business leaders appreciate Inventive HQ’s plainspoken approach. From cybersecurity roadmaps to cloud cost audits, recommendations are practical, measurable, and easy to understand. - Flexible, Accessible Services for Smaller Teams
Unlike traditional MDR and vCISO providers that cater only to large enterprises, Inventive HQ offers scalable packages that work for companies with fewer than 300 endpoints or lean internal IT teams. - Transparency and Thought Leadership
With resources like the newly released book Cybersecurity for CEOs authored by Sean Conroy and ongoing educational content, Inventive HQ positions itself as a trusted advisor, helping clients make informed decisions rather than selling one-size-fits-all solutions.

About Cybersecurity for CEO’s
“In today's digital world, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue; it's a business survival issue. Cybersecurity for CEOs is a clear, no-jargon guide explicitly designed for time-strapped business leaders who can't afford to get lost in the weeds.
Whether you're running a 20-person law firm or a fast-growing SaaS company, this book will show you how to lead on security without becoming a technical expert. You'll learn why small businesses are prime targets, what the most common threats look like, and how to turn cybersecurity from a cost center into a competitive advantage.
Inside, you'll find real-world inspired stories, industry stats, and executive-friendly frameworks to help you:
- Understand what hackers want and how they get in
- Evaluate your company's actual cyber risk (it's probably higher than you think)
- Ask the right questions of your IT team or MSP
- Build a security culture that empowers employees instead of blaming them
- Create a smart, sustainable cybersecurity budget
- Prepare for worst-case scenarios with an incident response plan you hope you never need
Each chapter ends with a "CEO Action Checklist" so you can take meaningful steps, even if cybersecurity has always felt out of your wheelhouse.”
Cybersecurity for CEOs is more than a book. It's a roadmap to peace of mind, operational resilience, and leadership confidence in an increasingly dangerous digital landscape.
