Freedom to be secure

Reimagining cyberspace beyond fear & obligation

RMF Escape Rooms

Learn the NIST Risk Management Framework by solving puzzles instead of memorizing controls. Each escape room helps you practice freedom in decision-making, showing that security is about awareness and choice — not checklists.

RMF-GPT

Cybersecurity Clarity Coach

Replace fear-based policies and training with clear, confident language. This GPT helps you write and communicate cybersecurity in ways that empower people to act securely. Because security without freedom is just another prison.

Clarity Deck

A reflective tool based on my Clarity Cards. When your personal or professional life feels overwhelming, this deck gives you a lens to pause, think, and choose with freedom instead of fear.

Tell the Truth

Ypifany Learning Designer & Train-the-Trainer

Learning has no goal — like the sun, it shines because it shines. Design environments where learners take responsibility for growth, and the instructor gracefully designs themselves out of the way.

Stay Human

AI shouldn’t replace your voice. Slow the process so your ideas stay in the lead. Maintain integrity and create work that’s truly yours — especially if writing is your art.

Why Contact Ypifany?

When you experience an Ypifany, you don't learn something new—you acknowledge what you've known all along.

That's it. That's the moment. When everything stops. When you can no longer pretend not to see what's right in front of you. When you finally face what's been true all along about your business decisions, your mission and goals, and your power to choose.

In your digital world, this means:

  • Seeing the connections that were always there

  • Acknowledging the risks you've felt but ignored

  • Recognizing the control you've always had (it’s more than you think)

  • Taking the action you've known you needed to take

Because once you acknowledge where you have control, you can't go back to pretending you don't. And that's when real transformation begins.

  • Creativity That Questions Everything

    We don't just think outside the box—we ask why there's a box in the first place. When you work with us, you get fresh perspectives that challenge the "that's how it's always been done" mindset. Security doesn't have to be boring or restrictive. Let's reimagine what's possible, right here, right now.

    Transparent Independence

    Here's the thing about security—hiding your flaws doesn't make you stronger. We're upfront about what we know and what we don't. No pretense, no BS. We share information openly because that's how people make real choices about their digital safety.

    Growth That Actually Matters

    We're not interested in checking boxes or making things look good on paper. Real growth happens when we clear away what's not working and focus on what does. Sometimes that means challenging what you know about security. Sometimes it means admitting we were wrong. Always, it means moving forward with clarity.

    Security That Liberates

    Most people think security is about locking things down. We see it differently. True security comes from understanding yourself—your real risks, your real needs, your real goals. When you're secure in both your digital and physical worlds, you're free to be who you really are and do what you're really here to do.

    Trust That's Earned, Not Claimed

    Trust isn't something you can force. It grows naturally when you show up authentically, do what you say you'll do, and be who you really are. Like good encryption, our work is transparent in its intentions and solid in its execution. We build trust by being real about who we are and consistent in how we work.

    Teamwork That Flows

    When you invite us to collaborate, you get our whole selves—technical and non-technical know-how, creative thinking, and genuine care for your success. We bring every part of our experience to help you succeed.

  • When We're Assessing Your Security:

    • We look at what everyone else missed

    • We turn "problems" into possibilities

    • We help you see security differently

    When We're Working With You:

    • We meet you where you are, no judgment

    • We turn fear into awareness

    • We make security feel doable

    When We're Building Solutions:

    • We find ways to say "yes" while keeping you secure

    • We make complex things clear

    • We blend technical smarts with human understanding

    When We're Growing Teams:

    • We value questions as much as answers

    • We help people grow beyond their comfort zones

    • We welcome different ways of thinking

    This is who we are. This is how we work. If this resonates with you, let's talk about what we can create together.

Our Founder

Cheryl Abram is more than a cybersecurity consultant—she's a Vision Doula who helps organizations and individuals recognize their own power to secure, strengthen, and profit in their digital lives. Like the conditions that come together to create rain, snow, and sunny days, she helps bring together the right combination of elements that create powerful transformations in careers, digital workspaces, customer relationships, and technology partnerships.

Cheryl sees what others miss – your existing vulnerabilies as your strongest security control. While many consultants start by listing all your weaknesses, all the things you're doing wrong, and all they ways they can make you better; Cheryl will help you uncover, see the value, and exploit your vulnerabilities.

The experience is like finding a life changing amount of money you didn't know you had.

Half the opportunities you are looking for are right in front of you. All you have to do is look.
