Because of Mike Semel, I'm now seen as a cyber security authority, which I never thought was possible.

I highly recommend you work with Mike Semel and learn from him.”

“Mike, your methods work! Last week I used your method to present an opportunity to a prospect. Then I sent him an engagement letter, which had terms and conditions I thought he would insist on negotiating. The next morning I was surprised to receive the signed engagement letter with no questions asked. This week, in just one day I closed a deal I found out was four times more than our nearest competitor.”
– HENRY DECOO, SOUTHTECH, FLORIDA

Mike visited us and interviewed department managers, reviewed our technical infrastructure, and spoke with our county emergency management office and health department. He then mapped the plan to our NCUA compliance requirements in a report that was approved by our Board of Directors."

“I appreciate your very comprehensive approach to helping me earn the Security Trustmark. I’m confident that without your guidance, materials, and weekly coaching sessions, I would not have succeeded. I found the planning documents and templates very valuable and can’t imagine trying to pursue the Trustmark without those tools. Thanks for helping make it happen for us!”
– JEFF DETTLOFF, PROVIDENCE CONSULTING, LANSING, MI
“When it comes to compliance there is nobody else in the industry who knows more and is a better resource than Mike Semel. You can count on him.”
– MICHAEL MITTEL, PRESIDENT, RAPIDFIRE TOOLS
“Mike's been part of the red cross system and understands what it means to respond. That's so critical when we're trying to create plans for our business. He's taught me and he's been correct because we went through some of this ourselves - that in the middle of a crisis or a disaster, if you don't have a plan, you don't think logically you respond emotionally and you make some bad decisions. We were grateful that we had that planning in place when the Joplin tornado hit.”
– ARLIN SORENSEN, CEO, HEARTLAND TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
"Thank you so much for the wonderful presentation! I was so glad you got to see a rocket launched. I wanted you to know, you received many excellent reviews on your presentation from the survey results that have come in. I hope to see you at one of my conferences in the future."
– NASA CONFERENCE MANAGER, KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL
"Mike was hired to help educate our community of IT providers on both compliance and security issues surrounding HIPAA. Beyond the working knowledge that Mike has obtained over the years, his ability to connect to our audience by wrapping his unique personality and humor into the conversation made it all work that much more.”
– CHRIS JOHNSON, COMPTIA
