About

Andrew Lassise is a high-growth technologist and strategic leader with over a decade of experience in the Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Cybersecurity sectors.

By pioneering security-first solutions like Written Information Security Plan (WISP) consulting, Andrew positioned his firm as an essential partner for accounting professionals facing escalating IRS and FTC compliance requirements.  Andrew’s career is defined by his ability to build scalable, niche-dominant systems. His commitment to "niching down" allowed him to drive market dominance and operational excellence, ultimately leading to a strategic acquisition by Rightworks in 2023.
