Approach

Clear scope. Accountable people. Programs that keep working.

I build security and compliance programs that hold up under every audit and every buyer review, not just the next one, without adding work for the people who run them.

Delivery

Day one, or bolt-on.

From day one

No program yet? I design it for your environment, your stack and your buyers, so it is right-sized from the start and ready for the frameworks you will need next.

Bolt-on

Already have a program, a platform or a security team? I plug into what exists, close the gaps, consolidate duplicate work and take ownership of the parts nobody owns.

Principles

What you can expect.

01

Framework-agnostic

Controls mapped once and evidence reused across SOC 2, ISO, FedRAMP, NIST, Kantara, HIPAA, PCI and more.

02

Expert in the loop

Routine work moves fast. I, or a vetted specialist, review and approve every finding, risk decision and deliverable.

03

You own it

Your system of record, evidence and documentation belong to you, in the tools you choose.

04

Tied to revenue

Work is prioritized by the deals, audits and deadlines it unblocks.

05

Independent

I do not issue audit reports or certifications, so you remain free to choose and change your auditor.

06

Less work each cycle

Every audit should be lighter than the last for security, engineering and the business owners who carry the load.

Engagement models

Fixed scope where possible. No surprises.

Fixed-scope assessments

Gap, readiness and impact assessments with a defined scope, timeline and deliverable, agreed before I start.

Managed programs

GRC Program and Security Program as a Service: your programs run on a monthly plan, through your audit and beyond.

Retainers

Managed ISSO / CISO leadership with set monthly hours and response times agreed in writing.

  1. Scope

    A short call to understand your obligations, deadlines, buyers and constraints.

  2. Assess

    I review controls, evidence and process against the frameworks that matter to you.

  3. Build

    I fix what needs fixing alongside your team, starting with the highest risk.

  4. Prove and run

    You leave with evidence, a plan and a program that keeps working, with me or without me.
