Atlanta-area cybersecurity firm that added AI readiness and adoption strategy as a second practice line for SMBs.

About
Minerva Consulting is a woman-owned Atlanta-area advisory firm founded and led by Sonal Chandler, a certified virtual CISO, combining cybersecurity risk management with AI readiness and integration work for small and mid-sized businesses. The firm runs a three-phase engagement model (assess and plan, implement and optimize, monitor and evolve) and hosts a client-facing podcast, 'Minerva Meets,' covering cybersecurity and AI topics. Named client testimonials span healthcare, wealth management, and CPA firms. Security is the core discipline, with AI adoption strategy and automation guidance layered on top rather than being the firm's sole focus.
