Cybersecurity, compliance and IT advisory.
Engagements start with the obligation on the calendar: an assessment date, an insurance renewal, an audit finding with a response due. The work runs past the assessment into the operation itself. Tools are consolidated, evidence and reporting are automated, each control is sized to the risk carried, and the changes are sequenced to the renewal dates, contract clauses and budget cycles already fixed. Every engagement is led by an executive who has run these functions.
For organizations held to a security or compliance obligation by a contract, a regulator, a customer or an insurance carrier.
Security Architecture Review
A review of network, identity, cloud and application architecture against the controls the organization is held to. Ends in a prioritized design-change list with the cost and the sequence of each change, covering zero-trust maturity, privileged access, segmentation and the data boundary.
Zero Trust and Cloud Migration
Design and delivery of a cloud-first, zero-trust environment, or the migration of an existing estate into one: identity as the perimeter, applications behind single sign-on, segmentation for sensitive data, and the government cloud tier where one applies. Delivered with the client's own team, in phases tied to its change windows.
Governance, Risk & Compliance Readiness
Readiness against the frameworks you are held to: CMMC 2.0 and NIST SP 800-171 for defense suppliers, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 for commercial businesses, and the control frameworks behind cyber insurance. The boundary and segmentation decision, a scored assessment, the system security plan and policy set, a remediation plan with owners, and the evidence package, run as one engagement under one executive so nothing falls between the assessment and the audit.
Security Investment Review
An inventory of what is owned against what is switched on, a coverage map against the risk the business carries, and a renewal calendar naming consolidation candidates by contract end date. Ends in a decision list the CFO can act on.
Fractional CISO / CIO
Program governance, risk reporting, policy ownership, vendor oversight, budget planning, roadmap ownership and board communication. One seat or both, with reporting the board reads.
Managed Remediation & Evidence
Continuous ownership of the remediation plan and the artifacts behind it: findings opened and closed on schedule, evidence kept current, and an assessment that becomes a reporting exercise rather than a scramble.
Managed Enterprise AI
The governance layer around the AI your people are already using: shadow-usage discovery, gateway and routing, data-loss guardrails, audit logging, cost attribution and vendor risk. A usage and risk report, and a named executive accountable for it.
How we work
Every engagement follows the same four stages, whatever the practice area.
Assess
Establish where things stand: the controls in place, the risks carried, the gaps, and the obligations the organization is held to.
Design
Set the target state, prioritize the gaps by risk and cost, and sequence the roadmap against budget and business commitments.
Implement
Build and change what the roadmap calls for, alongside your team, with evidence produced as the work is done.
Operate
Keep it running: named ownership, monitoring, reporting and improvement, by your team or with our ongoing support.
Compliance programs, risk management, third-party risk and audit readiness against the frameworks the organization is held to, commercial and federal.
Adoption, architecture, governance and controls for organizations bringing AI into daily work faster than their policy can keep up.
Architecture, identity and privileged access, network and application security, data protection, hardening, and operational technology.
Fractional IT leadership, cloud and data strategy, enterprise AI adoption, budget and vendor oversight, and the integration work that follows an acquisition.
The security program your organization owns: risk assessment, policy, incident response and awareness, with fractional CISO leadership, monitoring and remediation behind it.
Executive-led engagements
Each engagement is led at executive level, by a leader who has held the CIO and CISO seats and run security and IT in highly regulated environments at enterprise scale. Staffing follows the work, and that executive remains accountable from scoping through close.
