Advisory & Governance

Build a real program, not a binder.

Most companies have security tools but not a security program. We build the operating layer: policies that match how you actually work, controls that fit your stack, runbooks your engineers will read, and a calendar that keeps the program alive.

Scope program development

Duration: 90–180 days

What's included

What we build

Policy library

Written for your stack and stage, not a template-shop dump. Policies your engineers will actually follow.

Control framework

Mapped to whichever framework applies (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS, SOC 2). Owners assigned, evidence required.

Runbooks & playbooks

Operational playbooks for the events you'll actually face — onboarding, offboarding, IR, vendor reviews.

Risk register & exception process

A risk register tied to revenue impact, with a working exception process — not just a spreadsheet.

Training & awareness program

Role-based, including engineering-specific and executive-specific tracks. Not generic phishing modules.

Calendar & cadence

Quarterly board cadence, monthly executive readout, weekly security stand-up. We set the rhythm.

How it works

From baseline to operating program

01
Weeks 1–2
Baseline assessment
What exists, what works, what's a gap. We don't rebuild what already works.
02
Weeks 2–6
Policy & control authoring
Iterative authoring with stakeholder review. Policies are written FOR the people who'll follow them.
03
Weeks 6–10
Runbook & training rollout
Operational playbooks deployed; training launched with tracking; awareness baselined.
04
Weeks 10–12
Operating handoff
Calendar, cadence, and ownership transferred to your team — or operated by us if you stay on retainer.

Outcomes

What you walk away with

A working security program, not just documents
Policy library that survives auditor review
Control framework with named owners and evidence requirements
Runbooks for the events you'll actually face
Risk register tied to revenue impact
Quarterly operating cadence that keeps the program alive
Audit-ready posture for SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, or HIPAA
Defensible security narrative for board and customers

vCISO Services

Program development is often the lead-in to a vCISO retainer.

If you haven't established the baseline yet, start here.

SOC 2 Readiness

Program development is the path to SOC 2 audit-readiness.

Stop having tools without a program.

Most companies have spent more on security tools than on the program that operates them. A 90-day engagement closes that gap.
