Meet Your Guide
Mike Magaña — Founder & Principal Consultant
With over 10 years in IT and cybersecurity, I bring deep technical knowledge and practical insight into every engagement. My background spans healthcare, finance, legal, defense, and technology sectors—supporting businesses from small startups to enterprise teams.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Networks and Cybersecurity from the University of Maryland, with hands-on experience in penetration testing, red teaming, digital forensics, incident response, and compliance frameworks including HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR.
Before founding M Square LLC, I served 10 years in the U.S. Navy as an Aviation Electrician, where I supervised technicians, repaired complex electronic systems, and developed the discipline and attention to detail that defines my approach to security today. Having navigated the transition from military to civilian cybersecurity myself, I'm passionate about helping others make similar career transitions.
I started M Square LLC because I believe every business owner deserves a trusted advisor who speaks their language—not someone who hides behind jargon or tries to sell them solutions they don't need.
Security shouldn't be scary or complicated. It should be practical, understandable, and tailored to your business reality.
“My goal with M Square LLC is simple: Bring elite, no-BS cybersecurity services to the businesses that need it most.”
Our Mission
In a world increasingly connected and correspondingly vulnerable to cyber threats, our mission is crucial and timely: to equip businesses, regardless of their size or industry, with effective cybersecurity defenses. We believe every business deserves enterprise-grade security protection—and we're committed to making professional cybersecurity accessible and affordable for SMBs who often lack the resources for dedicated security teams.
We're not here to create fear or push unnecessary products. We're here to be your guide through the digital threat landscape—helping you focus on what you do best while we help keep your business secure.
Our Approach
Collaboration is key to our approach. We work hand-in-hand with our clients to develop customized cybersecurity strategies, policies, and procedures that align with their unique needs and objectives. Our process involves a thorough understanding of your operational landscape, enabling us to tailor solutions that not only protect but also enhance your security posture.
Our goal extends beyond safeguarding systems and data; we aim to empower you with the knowledge and capabilities to minimize the impact of potential cyber-attacks and respond confidently to any incident.
Confidentiality & Trust
Every conversation with M Square LLC is treated with complete confidentiality. We do not share your information and are happy to sign NDAs prior to detailed discussions.
“Security starts with a conversation. We're ready when you are.”
Our Values
Trust
We build relationships, not just security systems. Your business is in safe hands with someone who genuinely cares about your success.
Transparency
No hidden agendas, no unnecessary upsells. We explain risks clearly and give you honest recommendations—even when that means doing less.
Practical Security
We focus on what actually matters for your business. Real-world protection that fits your budget and operations—not theoretical perfection.
Innovation
We are not just practitioners but also innovators, constantly exploring new technologies and methodologies to stay ahead of emerging cyber threats.
Our Philosophy
“Cybersecurity isn't a checkbox. It's a commitment.”
At M Square LLC, cybersecurity isn't just a service—it's a mission. We believe that protecting data, systems, and people requires more than tools and checklists; it requires a strategic mindset, ongoing vigilance, and a deep understanding of evolving threats.
That's why we stay ahead of threats, invest in research, and deliver services grounded in real-world scenarios—not theoretical exercises. Security should be approachable, effective, and always evolving.
