Advisory

Straight-talk counsel for the decisions that shape a cybersecurity program.

Bring me in to help you ask the right questions, then navigate what to do with the answers.

Advice that survives contact with your actual environment.

Advice is only worth what changes after it’s given. I work in short, focused engagements, scoped to a question you’re trying to answer or a problem you’re trying to solve. I will offer actionable guidance and can help operationalize the solution.

You get a practitioner who has run cybersecurity functions at various scale and can guide the team on which parts matter most in this moment for your business.

What an engagement looks like.

Project-based consultation and advice

A defined engagement around a specific decision or initiative: a build-versus-buy call, a program stand-up, a difficult reorganization, a regulator’s question.

What you get
  • A scoped statement of work with a fixed end date
  • Working sessions with your team, not just interviews
  • A clear recommendation with the tradeoffs stated plainly
  • Follow-on support only if you want it, with no manufactured next phase

AI and cybersecurity governance and enablement

Governance that lets the business move at the speed of business, for AI and for security alike. Clear ownership, guardrails sized to your risk, and evidence your board and your customers can rely on.

What you get
  • A governance model with named owners and recommended decision rights
  • Guardrails sized to your risk appetite and operating model, not a generic template
  • Enablement for the teams adopting AI, not just restrictions on them

Resilience and readiness exercises

Exercise, exercise, exercise. Readiness means rehearsing. Scenarios and questions that mimic reality put honest pressure on the plan and surface gaps, blind spots and perspectives worth adjudicating.

What you get
  • Scenario design grounded in your threat profile
  • Facilitated exercise for technical, executive, or joint audiences
  • A co-authored findings memo with an executive summary you can hand to your board without translation
  • Prioritized actions, sequenced by what actually reduces risk and increases resilience

Have a question in front of you right now?

Tell me what you’re weighing and I’ll offer my advice on how to move forward. If advisory isn’t the right shape for it, I’ll say so.
