Linne Consulting is a Minnesota-based cybersecurity consulting firm helping businesses get compliant, secure, and audit-ready. We specialize in CMMC 2.0 and NIST 800-171 compliance for manufacturers pursuing DoD and federal contracts, along with virtual CISO services, ISO 27001 readiness, and cybersecurity program development for companies without a full-time security executive. Founder Steven Linne brings real operational experience: 10 years in the Navy working IT aboard a fast-attack submarine, and 7 years as a cybersecurity contractor for the U.S. Air Force building cybersecurity programs for DoD systems. We close the gap between where a business's security stands and what's required to win a contract, pass an audit, or operate with real confidence, through gap assessments against all 110 NIST 800-171 controls, remediation roadmaps, and SSP/POA&M documentation assessors and primes expect. Based in Minnesota, we know the local manufacturing and defense supply chain firsthand.
