Cybersecurity and AI consulting
for mid-market companies.
We help mid-market companies find and fix security gaps, govern AI adoption before it becomes a liability, and get audit-ready — with a senior practitioner who does the work himself, at a fraction of a full-time CISO's cost.
How an engagement
actually runs
We start with the paid Security & AI Risk Diagnostic, measured against NIST CSF. Then we fix the controls with your team, in the right order, and leave you the evidence an auditor or insurer will ask for.
Security & AI Risk Diagnostic →
Measure the gaps, rank them by real exposure, and put an owner on every fix.
Fractional CISO leadership →
A senior security leader embedded part-time: policy, program, board reporting, audit prep.
AI security & governance →
Inventory AI use, tier the risk, write the policy, and give the board evidence it can defend.
What Yalgar Consulting does
Yalgar Consulting is a cybersecurity and AI consulting firm based in Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas. We work with mid-market companies in logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and technology.
Our clients usually share three problems: security gaps nobody has measured, AI tools spreading through the business with no policy or review, and an audit or insurance renewal that needs evidence they do not have. There is no full-time CISO on staff to do the work.
We start with a paid Security & AI Risk Diagnostic. A practitioner does the work: Yash Patel holds a Bachelor of Science in Computing & Security Technology from Drexel University and writes the findings and the roadmap himself. Engagements are priced at a fraction of a full-time CISO's cost.
Common questions
Plain answers about what we do, who we work with, and what the first engagement costs.
What does Yalgar Consulting do?
Yalgar Consulting is a Dallas–Fort Worth cybersecurity and AI consulting firm that helps mid-market companies find and fix security gaps, govern AI adoption, and get audit-ready — with senior practitioners who do the work themselves. Engagements start with a paid Security & AI Risk Diagnostic and continue as a fixed-fee project or the Fractional CISO retainer.
Is Yalgar Consulting a real company, and who owns it?
Yes. Yalgar Consulting LLC is a Texas limited liability company that trades as Yalgar Consulting Company. The founder and owner is Yash Patel. The firm is based in Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas, and the website is https://yalgar.com.
Where are you based, and do you work on site?
Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas. The diagnostic includes two on-site workshop days inside the metroplex, or two full remote days when travel does not fit the schedule. On-site days are part of the fee, and we travel outside DFW for the right engagement with travel billed at cost and no markup.
What size companies do you work with?
Most clients have $20M–$500M in revenue and 50 to 500 employees, usually with one to five sites. The work fits mid-market companies in logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and technology. A firm with sales, driving, clinical, or administrative staff outside the operation may run to roughly 1,000 total, and we do not exclude a company because total headcount passes 500.
What is the first step?
A 30-minute call. You describe the trigger, the systems in scope, and what a win would be worth, and we ask who owns the budget. Then we tell you whether the paid Security & AI Risk Diagnostic makes sense. There is no deck and no proposal on that call.
What does the Security & AI Risk Diagnostic cost?
$9,500 for one site, $12,500 for two, and $14,500 for three or more. It runs 15 business days with two on-site or two full remote workshop days and a 90-minute readout on day 15. The report includes a NIST CSF control-gap list, a risk-ranked roadmap, an AI use-case inventory, and a first 90 days plan. The fee is paid at kickoff.
