Working Together
Every engagement begins with understanding. Before we discuss scope or structure, we listen — to your challenges, your constraints, and your goals. The right approach emerges from that conversation, not from a service catalog.
Getting Started
How engagements begin
A straightforward process designed to understand your needs before proposing solutions.
Initial Conversation
We start with an open conversation about your organization's security landscape. What are you trying to accomplish? What keeps you up at night? What have you tried before? This is not a sales call — it is a mutual assessment of whether working together makes sense.
Discovery & Assessment
If there is a potential fit, we conduct a focused discovery phase. This includes understanding your current security posture, organizational structure, regulatory requirements, and business objectives. The goal is to see your security challenges in their full organizational context, not in isolation.
Engagement Design
Based on discovery findings, we propose an engagement structure tailored to your situation. This might be ongoing advisory, a focused assessment, program development support, or a combination. The structure is shaped by your needs, not by pre-built service packages.
Collaborative Execution
We work alongside your team, not in place of it. Every engagement includes knowledge transfer and capability development. Regular check-ins ensure the work stays aligned with your evolving needs, and honest feedback keeps everyone focused on what matters.
Philosophy
Collaboration, not dependency
Advisory relationships work best when they are partnerships. We bring experience and pattern recognition. You bring organizational knowledge and context. Together, that produces better outcomes than either perspective alone.
Commitment
We are invested in your organization's ability to operate independently. Our success is measured by your growing capability, not by the length of our engagement.
What to expect
- Honest, direct communication about findings and recommendations
- Recommendations grounded in your organizational reality
- Knowledge transfer at every stage of the engagement
- Flexible engagement structures that adapt as needs evolve
What we ask of you
- Candor about your challenges, constraints, and concerns
- Access to the people and information needed for effective assessment
- Willingness to engage with findings, even uncomfortable ones
- Commitment to acting on agreed-upon recommendations
Flexibility
Engagement models
Advisory structures designed to match how your organization actually works.
Retained Advisory
Ongoing security leadership on a regular cadence. Ideal for organizations that need consistent strategic guidance and do not have a full-time security executive.
Assessment & Roadmap
A defined engagement to assess your current posture and produce an actionable improvement roadmap. A strong starting point when you need clarity before committing to ongoing work.
Program Development
Hands-on support to build or mature a specific security capability — vulnerability management, testing strategy, awareness programs, or governance frameworks.
