I agree, this list is not the best place to do this. However, maybe Cobalt
could maintain a list of such Security consultants who have Cobalt
experience, so you could find them on the Web site. With competition, you
might find a consultant you could afford.
In general, it's an economic question. How much can your business afford to
lose, if your site is hacked and all data is lost? Of course, backups can
reduce some of the damage, but what about the downtime and loss of confidence
from your customers? The best business model I have seen is "Active
Insurance", where some companies offer an insurance policy (fixed monthly
payment) and in return, they patch your site for you and guarantee to fix it
for free if you are hacked.
