Nelvori is founded and operated by Lori Crooks. Before Nelvori, Lori spent years helping companies pass the security assessments that decide whether they can sell into federal and regulated markets. Nelvori applies that same discipline to managed AI, so the operations work founders hand off actually gets handled right.

Lori is the Founder and CEO of Cadra (Security Compliance Solutions, Inc, doing business as Cadra), a cybersecurity compliance consulting firm. Cadra helps companies prepare for and pass CMMC, FedRAMP, SOC 2, and HIPAA assessments, the frameworks that govern how defense contractors, cloud providers, and healthcare vendors handle sensitive data.
That work means reviewing access controls, data boundaries, logging practices, and vendor risk for a living, not as a side interest. Nelvori exists because Lori kept seeing founders adopt AI tools with none of that discipline behind them: shared logins, no data boundaries, no one accountable for what the system actually did. She built Nelvori to run managed AI the way she would expect it to survive an audit.
Cadra is a cybersecurity compliance consulting firm. Cadra's client work covers CMMC, FedRAMP, SOC 2, and HIPAA assessments and remediation for companies that sell into regulated and federal markets.
Years spent inside the frameworks that govern access control, data isolation, logging, and audit evidence. That background shapes how Nelvori is built, not just how it is marketed.
Nelvori runs on the same operating discipline used with Cadra's own clients: scoped access, documented boundaries, and a habit of proving claims rather than asserting them.
Nelvori doesn't oversell what AI agents can do. Every engagement starts with a scoped pilot, a clear list of what is included, and a plain answer about what the agents actually deliver. If it doesn't work for your business, we say so and part ways. That is the standard Lori holds Cadra's clients to, and it is the standard Nelvori holds itself to.
No sales team, no handoff. You talk to the person who built the system and runs Cadra's compliance practice.
