What We Do

01

vCISO Services

A fractional CISO engagement gives you direct access to senior security leadership on a retainer basis — owning your security program, communicating to your board, and serving as your accountability partner as the business grows. Engagements are structured around your actual needs, not a fixed deliverable list. You work directly with the principal, not a junior consultant.

Scope Includes

• ›Security program strategy and multi-year roadmap
• ›Board and executive communication and reporting
• ›Security budget planning and vendor selection support
• ›Risk management program ownership
• ›Incident response planning and tabletop exercises
• ›Security awareness program oversight
• ›Regulatory and audit representation

02

Compliance Programs

Commercial compliance programs are increasingly a prerequisite for enterprise sales, customer trust, and market access. We design and implement compliance programs that satisfy auditors and actually improve your security posture — not just paper exercises. Our practice covers the full range of commercial frameworks with particular depth in SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

Scope Includes

• ›SOC 2 Type I & II readiness and audit support
• ›ISO 27001 gap analysis and implementation
• ›HIPAA Security Rule assessment and program design
• ›PCI DSS scoping and compliance program
• ›Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus (UK)
• ›SOX IT General Controls design and testing
• ›NIST CSF maturity assessments for commercial organizations
• ›Policy and procedure development
• ›Evidence collection and auditor liaison

03

Security Assessments

Our assessments give you an honest picture of your current security posture mapped against your actual threat model and business risk — not just a framework checklist. Every assessment delivers a prioritized remediation roadmap with effort estimates and business risk context, so your team knows exactly what to fix first and why.

Scope Includes

• ›NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF 2.0) assessments
• ›CIS Controls v8 benchmarking
• ›Cloud security posture assessment (AWS, Azure)
• ›Third-party and supply chain risk reviews
• ›Vendor risk program design
• ›Executive summary with board-ready risk presentation

04

OT / ICS Security

Operational technology security requires a fundamentally different approach than IT security. We understand the uptime, safety, and legacy constraints of manufacturing environments — and we design security improvements that work within them rather than against them. Our OT practice spans semiconductor fabs, discrete manufacturing, and defense production environments.

Scope Includes

• ›OT/IT network segmentation design and review
• ›IEC 62443 gap analysis and zone/conduit modeling
• ›SCADA and DCS security reviews
• ›OT asset inventory and vulnerability management program
• ›Incident response planning for OT environments
• ›Semiconductor and IP-sensitive environment expertise

05

Incident Response Readiness

Most organizations discover gaps in their incident response capability during an actual incident — the worst possible time. We help you build and validate IR readiness before you need it: designing your response program, developing playbooks for your most likely threat scenarios, and running tabletop exercises that expose gaps in a controlled environment.

Scope Includes

• ›Incident response plan development and review
• ›Threat-scenario-based playbook development
• ›Tabletop exercise design and facilitation
• ›IR team roles and escalation path definition
• ›Communication templates for internal and external stakeholders
• ›Post-exercise gap analysis and remediation roadmap

06

Security Program Management

Security programs fail not because of bad strategy but poor execution. We provide program management for complex security initiatives — keeping stakeholders aligned, milestones on track, and ensuring investments deliver their intended outcomes.

Scope Includes

• ›Security initiative portfolio management
• ›Tool selection, procurement, and deployment oversight
• ›Regulatory program project management
• ›Stakeholder alignment and executive reporting
• ›KPI and metrics framework design
• ›Board-level program status reporting
