// THE PROBLEM

Not sure where to start with security?

Every consultant wants to sell you something. A pentest. A vulnerability scanner. A security platform. More headcount.

But nobody's asking the right questions:

  • What's your actual risk?
  • What do your customers require?
  • What can your team realistically handle?
  • What's the minimum viable security to keep you moving?

You need advice that matches your reality. Not some vendor's sales pitch.

// WHAT I HELP WITH

What I Help With

Risk Assessments

Find out what actually matters. Not a 50-page report nobody reads. A clear picture of your biggest risks and what to do about them.

  • ✓ Application security reviews
  • ✓ Cloud infrastructure assessments
  • ✓ Third-party risk evaluation
  • ✓ Prioritized remediation roadmap

Security Strategy

Build a security program that fits your business. Not a copy-paste framework. A plan that works for your team, your budget, and your goals.

  • ✓ Security roadmap development
  • ✓ Policy & standards creation
  • ✓ Security architecture review
  • ✓ Tool stack rationalization

Vendor Security Reviews

Your customers sent you a security questionnaire. You have no idea how to answer it. I do.

  • ✓ Security questionnaire responses
  • ✓ Third-party vendor assessments
  • ✓ Customer security reviews
  • ✓ RFP security response support

Questionnaire blocking a deal? → questionnaire help

Incident Response

Something broke. Or you think it might have. Now what? I help you figure it out and fix it.

  • ✓ Incident response planning
  • ✓ Breach response support
  • ✓ Tabletop exercises
  • ✓ Post-incident reviews

Recently experienced a breach? → post-incident advisory

Security Training

Your team needs to understand security. But not through boring compliance videos. Real training that sticks.

  • ✓ Developer security training
  • ✓ Executive security briefings
  • ✓ Security awareness programs
  • ✓ Custom workshops for your team

Project-based or ongoing retainer. Your choice.

Project-Based

Fixed scope, fixed price. You need something specific done. I do it. We're done.

Good for: Risk assessments, policy creation, incident response plans

Monthly Retainer

Ongoing support. Regular check-ins. Always available when something comes up.
