Senior cyber leadership and risk advisory for the people accountable to shareholders, regulators and customers — delivered as a Virtual CISO engagement with three decades of frontline experience.
We help leadership teams understand where their real cyber exposure sits, what's worth doing about it, and how to land a credible, budgeted roadmap that satisfies auditors, customers and the board.
Risk presented in business terms — likelihood, impact, dollar exposure — not vendor jargon or RAG status theatre.
No product affiliations, no referral fees. You hear the recommendation a CISO would give if they worked for you.
Three decades of in-the-trenches CISO work. Your team gets a peer who has built and broken what you're now building.
Part-time, fractional, or interim CISO leadership — sized to where your business is today.
Strategic guidance and leadership on a part-time or fractional basis. Same person across the engagement, not a rotating bench.
Your existing IT and security people leverage cross-industry insight — peer-level coaching, not policing.
Risk assessments and a security strategy built for your business, data and growth horizon. Not a copy-paste template.
Industry best practices applied across governance, technology and process — under one accountable program owner.
Top-tier expertise without the loaded cost of a full-time CISO — and a clean exit when you outgrow fractional.
Stay ahead of threat and compliance changes before they become board escalations.
Engagements run on a continuous loop — review, quantify, plan, execute, monitor, and hand over.

Everything on your vCISO's clock — from first review to ongoing advisory.
Actual timeline depends on your support and resource allocation. Most engagements follow this rhythm.
360° review. Gap assessment. Risk identification and quantification. Security and data strategy.
Budgeting. Solutioning. Policy authoring. Deployment and integration of controls.
Certification readiness. Cyber insurance engagement. Awareness training. KPI / KRI building.
Risk monitoring. KPI / KRI advisory. Handover to internal team or continued advisory.
Typically 2 days a week during Phases 1–2 when the program is being designed, scaling down to 1 day a week in Phases 3–4. We size the engagement to your maturity and pace.
No. Our role is advisory and program leadership. We make your existing team more effective, surface the right decisions to the board, and step in as the accountable security leader.
Primarily NIST CSF, CIS Controls, ISO 27001:2022 and C2M2. We also map to PCI-DSS, RBI guidelines, CERT-In directives and ITGC as your regulatory profile demands.
Yes. We engage directly with your insurance providers and brokers, clarify their questionnaires, and help secure the best possible coverage.
Phase 4 is designed to be either a clean handover to your internal team — with documentation, KPIs and run-books — or a continuing risk-monitoring and advisory relationship. Your choice.
Commercials are tailored to scope, pace and geography. We use a reducing-cost model that's heaviest at program setup and tapers as your team takes ownership. Let's discuss what fits.
