Our Virtual CISOs (vCISOs) complement your security strategy whether you have a CISO in place, or need one to advise and inform the rest of your C-suite. Our vCISOs are available, affordable and accessible, allowing your team to access high-level security expertise without the ongoing financial commitment of a full-time executive.

We have built compliance programs for big brands, and we are ready to help yours too.

Compliance Programs

Compliance Program Development: Get audit-ready with expert code-to-controls preparation

Establishing a robust compliance program is a wise investment to ensure that your organization meets all legal and regulatory requirements while minimizing risks. Since 2015, we have been helping clients from SMB to Enterprise prepare for audits and reach new customers to expand their businesses. We can refit what you already have for the cloud, or help you build and launch your company's first codified security program.

Our work aligns with industry standards and vendor recommended practices. These publications have been revised and refined for years, making them a solid foundation to accelerate the launch of your security program. With a well designed program, improvements are measurable and predictable. Plus, justifying the budget for security investments is easier when they map to your business risks.

Disaster Recovery

Disaster Recovery Service: We anticipate your worst-case scenarios, and develop mitigating solutions

Whether intentional or accidental, a major incident interrupts business both big and small, and puts data at risk.If your data is a risk, your company is, too.

Restoring operations is the first objective. And a codified disaster recovery program helps reduce risks of financial loss and legal liability. A disaster recovery plan is required for US financial institutions and is often a requirement for technology and cybersecurity liability insurance policies.

Policy As Code

Policy As Code Engagements: Training for when you want to write policy once, and only once, and know it’s right

Policy as code is an integral step to reorienting and enabling a technology-first business mindset. It’s a powerful and streamlined approach to enforcing and automating governance, compliance, and security policies in your software development and infrastructure provisioning processes. Yet this form of automation doesn't always come naturally to enterprise teams. Iterative training and a show-by-doing teaching methodology, as well as patience, are necessary for a successful step forward.

Our consultants appreciate the challenges and intricacies of understanding how to take policies, tie them to business requirements and build code that will speed up applications and time to market. We train your teams as we demonstrate policy adoption, testing and enforcement. Once teams get it, they get it, and policy compliance becomes second nature.
