Senior Security Leadership
Without the Full-Time Hire
Fractional CISO retainers for ongoing program leadership. Security hardening engagements when there is a real gap to close. Backed by enterprise experience at JPMorgan Chase and DENSO. One senior person on every engagement, no handoffs.
Why Companies Call Us for Security
Enterprise prospects send a fifty-question security review. You have no CISO to answer it. The deal sits.
Insurers require documented controls, MFA, and incident response plans. Requirements you cannot meet without someone owning them.
A compliance deadline is real but no program is in place. You need a security leader, not a downloaded policy template.
Your board, investors, or PE sponsor want to know who owns security and what the posture is. Right now no one has a good answer.
Something happened. A breach, a vendor compromise, a failed audit. You need a plan and someone to own it.
You are about to hire your first security person. You need someone senior to write the job description, run interviews, and set the direction.
Two Ways We Engage on Security
Ongoing program leadership, or a scoped engagement to close real gaps.
Fractional CISO
Ongoing security program leadership. Board reporting, SOC 2 and CMMC readiness, cyber insurance compliance, vendor reviews, and a point of contact when something happens. Built for mid-market companies and PE-backed portcos that need a CISO without the full-time hire.
- →Named senior security lead, no handoffs
- →Security program built to your risk profile
- →Board and executive communication
- →Vendor and tool evaluation
- →Incident response readiness
- →Audit and compliance preparation
Security Hardening
Scoped engagement to close real security gaps. MFA enforcement, endpoint protection, logging and monitoring, incident response, secrets handling, OAuth and authentication. Built on production patterns from real systems.
- →Gap-focused, not a generic audit
- →Hands-on implementation alongside your team
- →Infrastructure as code where it fits
- →Documented runbooks for what gets shipped
Why This Works
Built security tools at JPMorgan Chase
Enterprise financial security is a different category. Regulatory scrutiny, real adversaries, zero tolerance for mistakes. That experience translates directly to what mid-market companies need.
Led embedded and OT security at DENSO
Security in environments where a mistake does not just mean a breach, it means physical harm. Supply chain, threat modeling across every layer, systems where safety is not optional.
Security baked into architecture
Most fractional CISOs hand you a policy doc. Security that holds up under real scrutiny comes from understanding how systems are built. We have built systems from scratch with security from day one.
Related Practices
Security overlaps with the other three practices. If your situation needs more than just fractional CISO work, these may be the right pairing.
