About

Cybersecurity that speaks human.

I'm Carrie Savola (SAH-vo-la), MSIA, CISSP; an IT, Information Security, and GRC professional based in the Pacific Northwest. I founded Ariadne (Air-Eee-Add-Nee) Advisory to bring real security expertise to the businesses that are usually priced out of it: solo owners, freelancers, and small teams building real things and serving real clients under real security threats.

In Greek myth, Ariadne gave Theseus a single thread to navigate the Labyrinth and find his way back out. She didn't fight the Minotaur for him, she made sure he didn't get lost. That's the model for this practice. Threats, risks, and security mazes aren't going away, and it's not my job to slay them for you. It's my job to hand you the thread: a clear, workable path through, and a way back out the other side with your business intact.

My background spans account, website, email and data management and protection. I specialize in translating complex security into actions a solo owner or small teams can actually use without a dedicated IT department or cybersecurity staff to lean on.

I believe security is fundamentally a human problem. The best technology in the world won't protect you if people don't understand the risks. My approach combines rigorous technical expertise with a deep commitment to educating and building processes so that security is understood and actionable.
