About Kyveras - Security Expertise with a Startup Mindset

Our Story

How Kyveras was born from a simple observation: startups shouldn't have to choose between growth and security. We've seen firsthand how critical strong security and compliance are for building trust and enabling business growth.


Charlie Leagra, Founder of Kyveras Security Consulting

I'm Charlie Leagra, founder of Kyveras Security Consulting. After more than 20 years in IT and cybersecurity leadership, I saw a recurring challenge for SaaS startups: achieving the security certifications needed to win enterprise customers, without sacrificing growth or product momentum.

I started Kyveras to help bridge that gap. My mission is to make security and compliance approachable, practical, and genuinely valuable for startups. I work exclusively with SaaS founders and teams, offering guidance that respects your pace, your budget, and your business realities—never losing sight of what makes your company unique.

The Kyveras philosophy is built on clarity, balance, pragmatism, empowerment, and partnership. I believe in cutting through jargon and providing clear, actionable advice. Every control or policy I recommend has a real purpose and is designed to be sustainable as you scale. My goal is to empower your team with the knowledge and tools you need for ongoing compliance, so you're not dependent on outside consultants in the long run.

I bring deep technical expertise and a strategic business mindset to every engagement, always focused on aligning security initiatives with your broader company goals. I'm passionate about demystifying cybersecurity and compliance, and I see these not as hurdles, but as opportunities to build trust and drive growth.

When you work with Kyveras, you're not just getting a consultant—you're gaining a partner who's invested in your success and ready to work alongside your team every step of the way.
