Non-technical owners and office managers at 10–80 person SMBs with outsourced or part-time IT
- Weekly prioritized risk digest in plain language tied to the software stack you actually run
- Auto-drafted escalation emails to vendors and hosting providers when a critical CVE matches your stack

- Optional integration with SaaS billing to auto-discover forgotten apps still in use

KnightHawk's SMB Starter at $99/mo and Growth at $249/mo prove SMBs will pay monthly fees for security clarity; a $19–$49/mo or $99–$199/yr newsletter with actionables is plausibly within reach.SMB Pricing — KnightHawk Cybersecurity ↗
