Six core services designed for boards, C-suites, and organizations that take cyber risk seriously. Each engagement is tailored to your industry, regulatory environment, and business context.
Executive briefings, governance frameworks, and risk strategy delivered at the level your board actually needs to make decisions.
AI is moving faster than most governance frameworks can keep up with. We help you adopt AI responsibly — with guardrails that protect your business without slowing it down.
Comprehensive identification of what could go wrong, what it would cost, and what to prioritize given your actual resources.
Board retreats. Industry conferences. Executive offsites. Accessible sessions that make cybersecurity and AI strategy actionable for non-technical leaders.
Practical, board-ready guidance for organizations without a dedicated CISO. Policies, procedures, and training — without the enterprise complexity.
Stay ahead of evolving frameworks. Governance strategies that incorporate regulatory change before it becomes a crisis.
Every engagement follows the same foundational approach — rigorous, collaborative, and focused on outcomes your leadership can actually act on.
We start by understanding your business, your regulatory environment, and your current cybersecurity posture. No cookie-cutter assessments — we come in curious, listen carefully, and ask the questions that uncover what's actually at stake.
We translate what we've learned into business impact. This isn't a technical audit — it's a strategic assessment that connects cyber risk to the outcomes your board cares about: revenue, reputation, regulatory standing, and resilience.
Prioritized, plain-language recommendations with clear ROI. Each recommendation comes with context, trade-offs, and a realistic estimate of effort — so your leadership knows exactly what they're approving.
We don't hand you a report and disappear. We stay engaged during implementation — advising on decisions, reviewing progress, and helping your team navigate the inevitable surprises.
Cybersecurity isn't a one-time fix. We offer ongoing advisory relationships with quarterly check-ins, board briefings, and rapid response when something changes in your risk landscape.
The questions we hear most often from boards, CEOs, and CISOs considering working with us.
Most engagements run three to six months — but honestly, we scope to your situation rather than a fixed template. A focused board-readiness assessment might take six weeks. A full cyber and AI governance transformation for a financial services firm might run nine months. And some of our most valuable relationships are ongoing: quarterly board briefings, rapid response when a major incident or regulation lands, and an annual strategy check. Our first conversation is free, so we can tell you honestly what scope makes sense before either of us commits.
Every briefing is tailored to the organization, but the structure is consistent: where the threat landscape actually is right now (not last quarter's headlines), an honest read on your current cyber and AI posture, the regulatory changes that will reach you in the next twelve months, and the specific decisions the board is being asked to make. Where useful, we build in short director training modules on topics like AI governance or SEC cyber disclosure. The goal is never a polished slide deck — it's directors leaving the room with clarity on what to approve, what to question, and what to hold management accountable for next quarter.
Yes — and it's often exactly the right timing. Pre-IPO is the window where getting cyber governance structurally right costs a fraction of what it costs to rebuild under SEC scrutiny after listing. We help pre-IPO companies stand up the governance framework their S-1 disclosures will rely on, prepare management to answer the cyber questions auditors and underwriters will ask, and build the board-level oversight model that survives the transition to a public company. Most of these relationships continue post-listing as the regulatory bar keeps rising.
Three things. First, you work directly with us — not a partner who sells the engagement and hands it to associates. Kathryn and Linda are in the room, every time. Second, our expertise is earned, not delegated: decades of experience across boardrooms, the intelligence community, and the cybersecurity industry, with a deep network of specialists we bring in when a specific skill is needed. Third, cost. Big Four engagements for this kind of work routinely run into six figures for what is often a templated deliverable. We deliver the same rigor — often more relevant rigor — at a fraction of the cost, because we don't carry the partner-associate pyramid. You get the senior expertise without paying for the overhead.
