Description
About Apollo
Apollo Information Systems is a cybersecurity services company delivering comprehensive security and compliance programs to organizations that need measurable protection without the burden of building it alone. Backed by a Series A investment led by Syn Ventures, Apollo is pioneering a cybersecurity-as-a-service model that replaces fragmented tools and episodic engagements with unified, outcome-driven security programs.
Through Apollo Aegis - a subscription-based cybersecurity and compliance platform - and a full portfolio of managed security, advisory, assessment, incident response, and offensive security services, Apollo helps organizations reduce risk, simplify operations, and maintain continuous compliance. Apollo's primary markets include state and local government, K-12 and higher education, and mid-market enterprises, with deep specialization in election security.

- Develop standardized templates and frameworks for common deliverables to increase efficiency
- Develop comprehensive service offering marketing collateral including one-pagers, capability statements, presentations, and pitch decks
