What I Can Do For You
The kinds of engagements I'm built for. Let's make your project the first case study.
Most SMBs need a CISO but can't justify a full-time hire. I serve as your on-call security executive — owning the security program, managing risk, reporting to leadership, and making sure the right controls are in place as your business grows. Engagements are scoped to your needs: monthly retainer, project-based, or ongoing advisory.
Let's talk →Is your cloud environment set up securely, or just set up? I assess your environment, identify real risks, and help you build a practical security program that fits your team and budget. For teams that need ongoing leadership, I also offer fractional vCISO engagements — executive security oversight without the full-time cost.
Let's talk → Run a free assessment →Most SMBs are already using AI tools informally — often without guardrails. I help you take stock of what's in use, where the risks are, and build a policy your team will actually follow.
Let's talk →Not sure where your biggest exposure is? A focused engagement to identify your top risks, prioritize what to fix first, and give you a clear action plan — not a 200-page report.

Security is continuous — I can stay on as an advisor, or hand off everything you need to run it yourself.
Common questions
A vCISO (virtual or fractional CISO) gives your business executive-level security leadership without a full-time hire. Most SMBs have outgrown ad-hoc security help but aren't ready to pay $250–400K/year for a full-time CISO. A fractional vCISO gives you the program oversight, risk management, policy ownership, and board-ready reporting of a senior security leader — scoped to exactly what you need.
It starts with a security posture assessment to understand where you are today. From there, engagements are scoped to your needs — a monthly retainer covering ongoing program management and advisory, a project-based engagement to build a specific program (compliance, cloud security, AI governance), or lighter-touch advisory for teams that already have some security in place and need a strategic sounding board.
Primarily small and mid-size businesses across all industries. Deep hands-on experience in healthcare (HIPAA, PHI controls, clinical systems), technology and SaaS (SOC 2, product security, CI/CD), financial services (PCI-DSS, SOX, fraud controls), and manufacturing (OT/ICS security, network segmentation). If your industry has a compliance requirement, I've likely worked in it.
AI introduces risk vectors that traditional security programs don't cover: employees sharing sensitive data with ChatGPT and other AI tools without guardrails, prompt injection attacks on AI-integrated applications, AI-generated deepfakes used for social engineering, and autonomous AI agents taking actions without adequate human oversight. Most security programs were built before these threats existed. AI security advisory addresses them directly — from governance policy to technical controls to training your team on what AI-enabled attacks actually look like today.
