Enterprise Security Leadership
Without the Full-Time Hire

Mid-market companies are losing deals, failing audits, and getting hammered on cyber insurance renewals because they have no one owning security at the executive level. MS Tech Alpine provides fractional CISO services, CMMC readiness, and security advisory grounded in real enterprise experience at JPMorgan and DENSO.

Why Mid-Market Companies Call Us

Deals stalling on security questionnaires

Enterprise prospects send a 50 question security review. You have no CISO to answer it. The deal sits.

Cyber insurance getting harder

Insurers are requiring documented controls, MFA enforcement, and incident response plans. Requirements you cannot meet without someone owning them.

SOC 2 or CMMC on the roadmap

A compliance deadline is real but you have no program in place. You need a security leader, not a policy template someone found online.

Who This Is For

We work with mid-market companies where security has become a real business problem, not something to deal with later.

Defense Industrial Base contractors

CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 is on your roadmap. You handle CUI, you have DoD contracts, and you need a security program that holds up under assessment.

Companies selling into enterprise

Your enterprise prospects are sending security questionnaires and your team cannot answer them. A documented security program and a CISO close those deals.

Companies facing cyber insurance pressure

Your insurer is asking for controls documentation, MFA evidence, and an incident response plan. This is exactly what a fractional CISO builds.

Boards wanting security accountability

Your board or investors want to know who owns security and what the posture is. Right now no one has a good answer.

How a Fractional CISO Engagement Works

Start with a conversation

We talk through your situation: what is driving the need, what the business actually cares about, and whether this is the right fit. No pitch.

Posture assessment

The first month is always a structured assessment. Where you stand today, where the real gaps are, and what needs to happen first.

Build the program

Months two and three: building the security program your situation requires. Policies, controls, incident response, vendor reviews.

Ongoing advisory

After the foundation is in, ongoing monthly work: board reporting, vendor reviews, compliance prep, and being reachable when something comes up.

What You Get

Real security program leadership, not a one-time report.

Who You're Working With

All engagements run directly through Jesse Edwards. No juniors, no account managers, no generic playbooks handed off after the intro call.

Built internal security tooling at JPMorgan Chase in an environment where regulatory scrutiny and real adversaries leave no margin for mistakes. Led embedded and OT security programs at DENSO, covering supply chain risk, threat modeling across every layer, and systems where safety is not optional. Founded and shipped RenovationRoute, a live platform with real payments, real users, and real security decisions made under production pressure.

That background is what you get in the room. Not a certification holder with a checklist.
