Your Solutions ArchitectArchitecture - Security - Delivery

Capabilities - Audit, frameworks, fractional CISO

Governance, risk and compliance

Security leadership for organizations not ready to hire it.

What that means in practice

  • Fractional CISO: risk register, control roadmap, board-legible reporting
  • Audit readiness and evidence design for SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA and GDPR
  • Federal and critical-infrastructure frameworks including NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171 and NERC CIP
  • Certification and accreditation processes for regulated and government-adjacent systems
  • Third-party and supply chain risk assessment
  • Security questionnaires that are currently blocking your sales cycle
Depth
Worked both sides of the audit: certification auditing first, then fractional CISO delivery against SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA and the NIST 800 series. Held CISSP, CISM and CISA for years; lapsed and not maintained.
Who I bring in
Audit and attestation partners, assessors, legal and privacy counsel.
Scoping this
Tell me which framework and which deadline. That is usually enough to scope it.
