Senior security help,
without the full-time hire
A fractional CISO (your part-time head of security) on a monthly retainer, or a scoped hardening project when there is a real gap to close. One senior person with JPMorgan Chase and DENSO experience on every engagement, no handoffs.
Why companies call us about security
A big prospect sends a fifty-question security review. No one on your team can answer it. The deal sits.
Insurers want documented controls, MFA (a second step at login), and an incident response plan. You can't meet that without someone owning it.
The deadline is real and there is no security program behind it. You need a security leader, not a downloaded policy template.
Your board or investors want to know who owns security and how exposed you are. 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 help with security
Someone to run your security every month, or a scoped project to close real gaps.
Fractional CISO
We run your security program month to month. Board reporting, SOC 2 and CMMC readiness, cyber insurance requirements, vendor reviews, and someone to call when something happens. Built for mid-market companies that need a CISO but not a full-time hire.
- →One named senior security lead, no handoffs
- →A security program built around your actual risks
- →Reporting to your board and leadership team
- →Vendor and tool reviews
- →A plan ready for when something goes wrong
- →Audit and compliance prep
Security Hardening
A scoped project to close real security gaps. Requiring MFA, endpoint protection, logging and monitoring, incident response, safe handling of passwords and keys, OAuth and login security. Based on what works on real production systems.
- →Focused on your gaps, not a generic audit
- →We do the work, alongside your team
- →Setup written as code (infrastructure as code) where it fits
- →Step-by-step runbooks for everything we put in place
Why it works
Built security tools at JPMorgan Chase
Bank security is a different level. Heavy regulation, real attackers, no room for mistakes. That experience carries straight over to what mid-market companies need.
Led embedded and industrial (OT) security at DENSO
Security where a mistake doesn't just mean a breach. It means physical harm. Supply chain, mapping how an attacker could get in at every layer (threat modeling), systems where safety is not optional.
Security built in from the start
Most fractional CISOs hand you a policy doc. Security that holds up under real scrutiny comes from knowing how systems are built. We've built systems from scratch with security in them from day one.
Related Practices
Security overlaps with our other three practices. If you need more than fractional CISO work, one of these may pair well.
