Executive Cyber Advisory
Independent cybersecurity consulting and virtual CISO support from a former CISO. Governance, risk ownership and board reporting that turn security into decisions your leadership can make with confidence.
When it's time
01
Your board asks questions about cyber risk that no one can answer clearly.
02
Security spend keeps growing, but nobody can say what risk it actually reduces.
03
You're between CISOs, or you've never had one.
04
A customer, insurer or auditor is asking for evidence your program works.
05
An incident exposed gaps in who owns what, and who decides.
06
Policies exist on paper, but not in how the business actually runs.
What we work on
Every engagement is scoped to the decisions your leadership needs to make. These are the areas where that work usually starts.
Governance
Who owns what: roles, decision rights, policies and the operating rhythm that keeps security accountable to the business.
Risk
A risk register written in business language, a named owner for every top risk, and a GRC approach sized to your organization.
Boardroom
Reporting that answers “are we secure enough?” with clear metrics, trends and the decisions you need from the board.
Assessment
An independent view of where you stand against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, prioritized by what matters most to your business.
Transformation
A practical roadmap from current state to target maturity, and hands-on leadership to deliver the changes that move the needle.
Readiness
Incident response plans and executive tabletop exercises, so leaders know who decides, and how fast, when something happens.
Virtual CISO
A virtual CISO (vCISO) gives you an experienced security executive on a part-time, ongoing basis. You get the judgment and accountability of a CISO, scaled to what your organization needs right now.

Questions
Don't see your question? Ask it on a discovery call, there's no obligation.
Consulting is project-based: an assessment, a roadmap or a board report. A virtual CISO is ongoing, part-time leadership that owns your security program over months.
Yes. Many organizations need senior security leadership but can't yet justify a full-time CISO. Every engagement is scoped to your size and your risk.
Most work happens remotely, with on-site sessions for workshops, board meetings or tabletop exercises when they add value.
Usually the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, with PCI DSS, SOX controls or privacy requirements layered in where they apply to you.
