Guide security strategy

Your cybersecurity goals need an advocate who knows your industry and operations. Executive consultants map one-, three-, and five-year maturity plans to strengthen your security posture and business process, then guide your business through implementation.

Address technology pain points

Technology pain points add stress across the business but require sensitivity to solve. Your vCISO learns your business and offers creative, cross-department fixes to the problems you’ve been living with.

Map spending to risk

Executive consultants work with your IT team to identify redundant tooling and security gaps, then build a case for budget requests.

Asset and exposure inventory

Map your critical assets, sensitive data, vendors, and systems and review existing protections like multifactor authentication, backups, and endpoint protection. Then identify who can access each one and which are exposed to the internet.

Threat and risk analysis

‍Identify the threats most relevant to your industry and assess the likelihood and impact of exposure. Using industry threat intelligence, rate each risk by likelihood and business impact, including downtime, regulatory, and financial consequences.

Prioritized findings and roadmap

‍Present a clear, actionable report so your leadership can make confident decisions about what’s working, what’s not, and where to invest next. Findings are ranked by risk and effort, with recommended owners and a phased plan, mapped to a framework such as NIST CSF.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Secure employee identities across network, endpoint, and applications in your business. We guide your employees through multi-factor authentication, customize conditional access policies, and design and manage your identity lifecycle.

Data Loss Prevention

Protect sensitive data from leaving your environment, intentionally or accidentally. Practitioners can implement and guide your in-house team or fully manage your data classification, storage, encryption, and secure transfer policies.

Security Stack Optimization

Assess the cost and configuration of your tool stack. Identify redundant technology, evaluate AI-enabled tools your team is considering, and give clear rationale for your next security investment.

Security Technology Implementation

From identity management to security information and event monitoring (SIEM) tooling to endpoint protection, we can implement, configure, and deploy the tools right for your environment.

CMMC Preparation and Remediation

Full support for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification level assessment preparation, from gap remediation to readiness for your official assessment. Scope your controlled unclassified information (CUI) environment, document your system security plan and milestones, and run a mock assessment.

NIST CSF Assessment and Gap Analysis

Evaluate your organization against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and build a prioritized plan to close the gaps. Score your current and target profiles across the six functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover), then receive a roadmap with priorities, owners, and cost estimates.

SOC 2 Audit Preparation and Remediation

Prepare your controls, documentation, and evidence for SOC 2 audit: Type I or Type II. Define your scope and Trust Services Criteria, run a readiness assessment, remediate gaps, and coordinate evidence with your independent auditor.
