Governexis LLC is a cybersecurity governance, risk, and compliance technology company developing SMART-NIST, a decision-support platform designed to help organizations make smarter cybersecurity control decisions.
Governexis focuses on helping organizations move beyond static checklists and toward clearer, more practical cybersecurity planning. Many organizations understand that they need stronger cybersecurity controls, but they often struggle to decide which controls should come first, how to plan within budget, and how to explain those decisions to leaders, auditors, and operational teams.
SMART-NIST is being developed to support cybersecurity control prioritization under real-world constraints such as budget, maturity, dependencies, and implementation readiness. The goal is not to replace cybersecurity professionals, but to support better decision-making through structured, repeatable, and explainable planning.
Governexis is especially focused on practical cybersecurity governance for small and mid-sized businesses, government contractors, healthcare organizations, education institutions, technology companies, and public-sector partners.
To help organizations make cybersecurity governance and control-selection decisions with greater clarity, accountability, and confidence.
Governexis was founded by Marco Hacker, a U.S. Navy veteran and cybersecurity doctoral student with experience in military administration, systems support, database administration, logistics, compliance documentation, and cybersecurity studies.
That background shapes the company’s practical focus. Governexis is not being built as a generic cybersecurity website. It is being built around the real challenge of helping organizations make smarter, clearer, and more defensible governance decisions when time, resources, staffing, maturity, and implementation constraints matter.
SMART-NIST is being developed alongside doctoral research focused on cybersecurity control prioritization, governance decision support, and practical implementation constraints. The platform is being shaped as both a technology artifact and a structured decision-support approach.
Focuses on leadership, policies, accountability, evidence, and implementation planning.
