Security advice from people who have actually run the program.
We are a senior cybersecurity advisory practice. We assess real risk, build the controls, run the certification and stay through the audit, so security stops being the thing that slows your business down and starts being the reason enterprise buyers say yes.
Most security advice is written by people who have never had to live with it.
We have sat in the seat. We have owned the budget, argued with the auditor, briefed the board on a bad week and explained to a customer why their questionnaire answer is what it is. That experience is what you are buying.
Senior people, on your work
The person who scopes the engagement is the person who does it. No pyramid, no hand-off to a team you have never met.
Plain language, always
If your CFO cannot follow the argument, the argument is not finished. We write for the decision-maker and keep the depth underneath for your engineers.
We build, not just recommend
Findings are cheap. We stay through implementation, through the audit, and through the first cycle where you run it yourselves.
Eight practices, one accountable team.
Engagements usually start in one area and grow into a program. You are never handed to a different firm halfway through.
Virtual & Fractional CISO
A named senior security leader who owns your program: strategy, roadmap, budget, board reporting and vendor management, all at the fraction of a full-time hire that your stage actually needs.
Cyber Risk & Security Strategy
An honest read of where you stand, what could actually hurt you, and the shortest sequence of work that reduces the most risk. Written for executives, detailed enough for engineers.
Compliance & Audit Readiness
We run the certification, not just advise on it: scoping, control design, evidence, auditor management and the operating rhythm that keeps you compliant in year two without another fire drill.
Security Architecture & Engineering
Architecture reviews and hands-on engineering across identity, cloud and network , with reference designs your team can actually implement and a Zero Trust path that doesn't require replacing everything at once.
Product & Application Security
Security built into the product your customers buy: threat modeling, a secure SDLC engineers don't resent, dependency and supply chain control, and a pen test program that produces fixes instead of PDFs.
AI Governance & Secure AI Adoption
A governance model that lets your teams ship AI instead of waiting for permission , built on NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001, with real controls for model, data and agent risk rather than a policy nobody reads.
Security Operations & Incident Response
Detection that fires on what matters, an incident response plan that has been tested under pressure, and enough oversight of your MSSP that you know what you're paying for.
Third-Party & M&A Security Due Diligence
This is the security half of diligence, not the financial, tax or commercial half. A vendor security program that scales past a spreadsheet, and cyber due diligence on acquisitions, so you find out what you are buying before the wire clears rather than after integration.
Twelve domains. You choose the scope, deliberately.
Everything here is optional. What you leave out, you are choosing to accept, and we write that down so the decision is yours rather than an oversight.
Under roughly 500 staff, NET, END and DET usually run as one operations domain. Under roughly 150, most of the value sits in GOV, CMP, IAM, DAT and a single operations function. Bigger is not better, matched is better.
No mystery, no ninety-day discovery phase.
Orient
A working session, not an interrogation. We learn what the business does, what is at stake, and what triggered the call. Usually one week.
Assess
Evidence-based review of the domains in scope. You get the findings as we find them, no surprises saved for the final read-out.
Sequence
A ranked plan with owners, effort and dates. Sequenced by risk reduced per dollar, agreed with you before anyone starts building.
Execute
We build alongside your team, then hand over with the documentation and cadence that lets you run it without us.
We have run these, not just read them.
Framework fluency matters less than knowing which one applies to you, how much of it applies, and where the overlap is. Carrying four standards should not mean four control sets.
Before you get in touch.
How is this different from hiring a security consultancy?
We're small. Are we too early for this?
What does a first conversation look like?
Can you work alongside our existing MSSP or IT provider?
Do you actually implement, or only advise?
How do you charge?
Start with a straight conversation
Thirty minutes, no deck, no pitch. Tell us what prompted the call and we will tell you what we would do about it, including when the answer is that you do not need us yet.
