Services

Retained and packaged engagements. Each has a defined outcome and a defined end, or a defined recurring scope where it is ongoing.

A program is the packaged form of the capabilities below it, run as one engagement under one executive. Any capability can also be engaged on its own.

Programs
RETAINED AND PACKAGED

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.

Practice areas

Compliance programs, risk management, third-party risk and audit readiness against the frameworks the organization is held to, commercial and federal.
