Merwin Bachiller's Review Sourced from Google
I am deeply disappointed with my experience with Single Point of Contact (SPOC). Despite being awarded in unpaid wages by the California Labor Commissioner, SPOC and its leadership have failed to take any responsibility or make good on the judgment.
In an effort to resolve the matter amicably and avoid further legal complications, I offered a settlement for just nearly 75% less than what I was legally owed. I was genuinely hoping for a fair resolution and gave every opportunity for SPOC to make things right.
Unfortunately, even this generous offer was ignored. Their refusal to own up to their obligations reflects a serious lack of accountability and professionalism. Employees and contractors should be aware of how this company handles financial and legal responsibilities.
If you're considering working with or for SPOC, I strongly encourage you to exercise caution and do your due diligence

I've had them as a vendor for my business as well working with them on many jobs. They offer great support from a pool of talented techs and if something goes wrong they go above and behind to resolve the issue. Their NOC was also English speaking, US Based and top notch which is something that you don't find often in companies.

Nathan Dyer's Review Sourced from Google
As a result of our engagement with Bluelight Consulting, we are saving hours of developer time every week. We are able to deploy several times a day to multiple environments and going forward we’re going to better position ourselves as a company that offers tools that provide timely solutions for our internal users, which is what we pride ourselves on. There has been a tremendous lasting effect without a doubt. They meet set timelines within budget, keep clear communication lines, and are more than ready to address any emerging issues in a timely fashion. You can sense a sincere desire to meet our needs to the letter. It makes a huge difference. I must say we’ve worked with other vendors before where their ego was much bigger than working with us.

And from the moment we booked a discovery call with them, we knew we had made the right choice. Thank you Bluelight Consulting!

I have worked with Xigent for several years and these guys are sharp. With their assistance we were able to successfully upgrade our complete virtual infrastructure this year. Even with a project of this size we were able to keep it under budget and on schedule. Their engineers are experts in their field, we leverage this knowledge to help support and assist us with our virtual infrastructure (VMware, VDI, NetApp SANs, Nexus switches) and our disaster recovery architecture. I would recommend these guys for anyone looking for high quality engineers to assist with any virtualization and storage projects.

Smith Consulting INC....I could and will change my star rating if you can make an improvement! Could you have some type of online information (via Google Maps, Your very own website etc) that would allow people to know who the owner, co-owner, management, etc are and some companies even give years worked with you, direct number or email to specific employees, how the owner came about owning and so on! I think the staff from the owner to the assembly people in the warehouse are all exceptional great down to earth people! It's always been very welcoming and accepted and I really like how the owner and management run this business!!! I was just noticing the lack of draw to this business, the missing information some like to read, future employees who'd want a better idea of who they will be dealing with and maybe how it all started to today and forgive me but a HUGE LACK of any attraction to your (what looks like online) ""boring, dull, lifeless" company! So why don't you change that because you are a wonderful caring family oriented down to earth courteous company plus so much more! I think you should make that know!

Murali Krishna's Review Sourced from Google
I worked with Sunvera Software on the development of a fitness app for a business. Sunvera delivered the app on IOS and Android platforms. Their development teams were easy to deal with. The app had some complex workflows and Sunvera handled it easily. Weekly reviews kept the development pace on track and kept us informed on the progress.
My 5-star review reflects my recommendation of Sunvera for anyone else seeking to develop a solution. However, a well thought-out review must also have identified room for improvement. My suggestion for improvement is their software-bug tracking and closure process to keep the customer better informed. There were times where this was lacking during our project. Team members compensated by stepping up and doing the needful.

Sunvera helped us develop an app for our product, HEYKUBE. They did an outstanding job, managing simultaneous iOS and Android versions, provisioning a backend server, and implementing core development for the app. The app incorporates graphics as well as a custom BTLE stack to communicate with our device. The team is great, and Ram provides steady leadership to make sure projects get done on time. I would highly recommend Sunvera to just get the job done for you.

Position Interviewed For: Site Reliability Engineer
Interview Rounds: 4 Technical (2 Internal + 2 Client) + HR Round
I recently went through the complete interview process with this company. During the initial telephonic conversation, I clearly communicated my compensation expectations to the recruiter/HR, and they confirmed that it aligned with their budget. Based on that, we proceeded with multiple rounds — including four technical interviews and a final HR discussion — where I was selected at every stage.
However, after clearing all rounds and following up for the final update, I was informed that they do not have the budget to match my expectation. This was both surprising and disappointing.
👎 What Went Wrong:
If the budget didn’t match my expectations, it should have been clearly communicated at the start.
Proceeding with the full process only to backtrack due to budget issues is a poor experience for any candidate.
It felt like a waste of time and effort on both sides.
🙏 My Suggestion to the Company:
Please ensure clarity from the very beginning regarding budget constraints. If the candidate’s expectation isn’t feasible, it’s perfectly okay to be upfront during the initial discussion rather than delaying the communication until the final stage. Respecting a candidate’s time and effort is key to building a good employer brand.

What services do top cybersecurity companies in the USA provide?
They offer a comprehensive range of services to protect a business from digital threats and attacks. According to IBM’s latest report, businesses are increasing their investments in these top 5 services:
Threat intelligence and analysis (43%): Gathering data on cyberthreats, adversary behaviors, and emerging vulnerabilities to proactively defend systems
Data security and protection tools (37%): Implementing firewalls, encryption, and data loss prevention (DLP) solutions to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of a company’s data
Incident response and testing (35%): Developing and testing a strategy to monitor, identify, and manage threats to minimize business damage
Security awareness training (33%): Educating employees on the latest security best practices and the company’s security protocols
Offensive security testing (32%): Employing ethical hacking and penetration testing to simulate real attacks to uncover and address vulnerabilities
What is a typical project implementation timeline for this industry?
Typically, cybersecurity implementation can take a few months to over a year, depending on your current security stature, IT infrastructure, industry-specific regulations, and project scope and complexity.
Here's an approximate cybersecurity timeline:
Stage
Tasks
System audit and requirement analysis (1 month)
Identifying business needs and high-priority system issues
Developing a cybersecurity roadmap
System Design (1-3 months)
Crafting system architecture and an integration plan
Policy development (1-2 months)
Establishing security policies, procedures, and frameworks
System development (4-6 months)
Configuring cybersecurity solutions, such as firewalls and encryption tools
System Testing (3-4 months)
Conducting penetration, regression, and other quality tests to ensure system reliability and usability
Implementation (1-3 months)
Ensuring the cybersecurity system’s deployment readiness and transferring it to a live environment
Conducting employee and stakeholder training
How much do businesses allocate for cybersecurity?
Depending on service scope, business size, number of devices, IT infrastructure complexity, and compliance requirements, businesses allocate 5-20% of their IT budget to cybersecurity.
Here’s an approximate breakdown according to business size:
Small businesses (less than 100 employees) allocate 5-10% of their IT budget for cybersecurity, as they typically cover fewer systems and users.
Medium-sized companies (100-1,000 employees) invest 8-15% of their tech budget, as they may need more comprehensive endpoint and cloud security services.
Large enterprises (1,000+ employees) dedicate 10-20% of their technological budget, often requiring 24/7 security operations, full compliance and support audits, and more complex security solutions.
How often should businesses audit their cybersecurity?
Approximately 23% of security breaches stem from IT failure, and 26% are caused by human error — both of which are preventable with regular security audits.
Here’s how often you should conduct cybersecurity audits according to best practices:
Annual audits for comprehensive audits of your entire system, including your policies, frameworks, network, and recovery plan.
Biannually and quarterly to achieve regulatory compliance (e.g., PCI DSS and HIPAA), protect highly sensitive data, and manage complex infrastructures. A common practice is to conduct monthly vulnerability assessments and quarterly penetration testing.
Immediately after a reported incident or a change in your infrastructure (e.g., implementing a new enterprise resource planning system).
What US industries benefit from cybersecurity services?
While all industries benefit from working with top cybersecurity companies, research shows that certain sectors experience more threats than others. Here are the sectors with the most damaging breaches and the share of breaches exceeding $1 million:
