Technical Focus
Hardening Microsoft 365 environments for small businesses. Covers Defender, Entra ID, conditional access, and admin controls.
Fractional CISO services for growing organizations. Security strategy, board communication, and risk ownership without a full-time hire.
Identifying, prioritizing, and tracking vulnerabilities so teams patch what matters and avoid getting buried in noise.
Preparing organizations to qualify for coverage, complete applications accurately, and meet insurer security requirements.
Practical work toward NIST CSF, CIS Controls, HIPAA, and CMMC alignment without turning compliance into a checkbox exercise.
Reviewing vendor security posture, contracts, and data access so businesses know what risk they are accepting before signing.
Building guardrails for AI tool adoption. Data handling policies, acceptable use frameworks, and risk reviews for AI-assisted workflows.
Building and testing incident response playbooks so teams know what to do in the first hour of a security event.
Training programs and phishing simulations that change behavior, not just check a box for annual compliance.
