How I Can Help
Practical Cybersecurity Services for Organizations That Need Real Results.
Every engagement is remote, practical, and built around your specific situation — not a generic methodology or a one-size-fits-all approach.
01
Security Program Assessment
You can't fix what you don't understand. Before any meaningful security work can begin you need an honest picture of where you actually stand — not where your policies say you stand, and not where your last audit report said you stood eighteen months ago.
This engagement delivers exactly that — a structured, independent assessment of your current security posture aligned to a recognized framework, with a clear written findings report your leadership team can actually act on.
What's Included
Best Suited For
New CISOs who need to understand what they inherited. Organizations approaching a compliance deadline. Companies that have never had a formal security assessment.
02
Risk Assessment and Roadmap
Knowing your gaps is only half the job. The other half is knowing what to do about them — in what order, with what resources, and for what reason. Most organizations have one without the other. This engagement gives you both.
A structured risk assessment identifies your most significant exposures and quantifies them in business terms. The roadmap that follows sequences your remediation priorities based on risk reduction impact and organizational feasibility — not a generic framework checklist.
What's Included
Best Suited For
Organizations that know they have security gaps but aren't sure where to start. CISOs who need to make the case for budget. Companies building a security program from scratch.
03
Fractional CISO Services
A full-time CISO costs $200,000 to $300,000 per year in salary and benefits alone. For many mid-sized organizations that's not a realistic investment — but the need for experienced security leadership is just as real.
Fractional CISO services give you senior security leadership on a monthly retainer basis. I become your security partner — attending leadership meetings, advising on risk decisions, managing your security program, and briefing your board — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
What's Included
Best Suited For
Mid-sized organizations that need ongoing security leadership but can't justify a full-time CISO. Companies with a small security team that needs senior oversight. Organizations managing active compliance programs.
04
Compliance Readiness
Compliance deadlines have a way of arriving faster than anyone planned for. Whether you're pursuing SOC 2 for the first time, preparing for a CMMC assessment, or trying to get your HIPAA program in order before an audit, the gap between where you are and where you need to be is almost always larger than it looks from the outside.
This engagement closes that gap. We identify exactly what's missing, build a realistic remediation plan, and work through it together so you arrive at your audit or certification ready — not scrambling.
What's Included
Frameworks Covered
NIST CSF, NIST 800-171, CMMC, HIPAA, HITRUST, CIS, IASME, and more!
Best Suited For
Organizations pursuing their first compliance certification. Companies that failed a previous audit and need to remediate findings. Security managers who need outside expertise to navigate a specific framework.
05
Board and Executive Briefing Support
Most CISOs lose the board not because their security program is weak but because their communication is. Boards and executive teams don't want technical briefings — they want business conversations. They want to know what the risk is, what it would cost if something went wrong, and what you're doing about it.
This service helps you deliver exactly that. Whether you're preparing for your first board briefing or refining a presentation that hasn't been landing the way you hoped, I'll help you translate your security program into language that earns trust and drives decisions.
What's Included
Best Suited For
New CISOs preparing for their first board presentation. Security leaders whose board briefings aren't generating the engagement or support they need. Organizations whose board has never had a real security conversation.
06
Incident Response Planning
The worst time to figure out your incident response plan is during an incident. Most organizations discover their plan is incomplete, outdated, or unknown to the people who would need to execute it at exactly the moment they need it most.
This engagement builds you a realistic, tested incident response plan — one your team has actually practiced and can execute under pressure. Not a template pulled from the internet. A plan built for your specific environment, your specific team, and your specific risks.
What's Included
Best Suited For
Organizations that don't have a current incident response plan. Companies whose IR plan hasn't been tested or updated in more than a year. Security managers who need to demonstrate IR readiness to auditors, insurers, or the board.
