How We Advise

01

Someone Senior in the Room

  • A part-time head of security (vCISO), a few days a month
  • A plan for the next twelve months, in order of what matters
  • Board briefings your directors will actually follow
  • What to spend, on what, and what to stop paying for
02

A Look at How It Is Built

  • Whether your cloud setup holds up under attack
  • Designing so nothing is trusted just for being inside the network
  • Splitting the network so one break-in cannot reach everything
  • Who can log into what, and how that is proved
03

Getting the Basics in Place

  • Building a security function from nothing
  • Policies written to be followed, not filed
  • A written plan for the day something goes wrong
  • A practice run of a breach, around a table, before the real one
04

A Second Opinion

  • Buy an hour, ask your question, get a straight answer
  • Help choosing between security products and suppliers
  • Checking what you are buying, before you buy the company
  • A sanity check on a decision you have to defend

Do we need a long-term contract?

No. Book us by the hour for one review, or keep us on as your part-time head of security. Whatever fits.

What is a vCISO?

It is a head of security you share. You get the experience and the board-level guidance of a security director for a few days a month, without paying a full-time salary.

We can usually talk within 24 hours, and start most work within a few days.
