Your Executives and Board are Asking About Cyber Risk.
Can You Answer With Confidence?
Get Executive-Level Security Leadership
Get the best of both worlds technical guidance your team can act on, and executive reporting your leadership can rely on.
Technical Direction
Give your security/IT teams the experienced input they need to take the right actions.
Execution Clarity
Turn complex requirements into simple, actionable steps.
Executive Reporting
Deliver board-ready insights on risk, posture, and business impact.
Ongoing Guidance
Stay aligned and supported as your security program matures.
No guesswork. No overwhelm.
Just clear direction from someone who's done this before.
How It Works
Assessment
We evaluate your security posture against industry frameworks (NIST, ISO, SOC 2) and deliver a technical report plus an executive summary your board can understand.
Strategic Oversight
We meet weekly or bi-monthly to guide remediation, evaluate vendors, develop policies, and track improvement over time.
Transition
When you scale to the point where a full-time CISO makes sense, we help you hire the right person and ensure a smooth handoff.
Who This Is For
Built for companies ready to level up their security.
Growing Teams
You’re a 200–2,000 person company that needs enterprise-level security without hiring a full-time CISO.
Regulated Industries
You operate in banking, healthcare, fintech, or similar sectors where compliance isn’t optional.
High-Risk Operations
You handle sensitive data or critical systems where a breach would directly impact revenue or trust.
Digital-First Teams
Your product or infrastructure relies heavily on technology and needs experienced security oversight.
