What we offer

Advisory built for boards, operators, and audit teams.

vCISO services

Strategic security leadership, board reporting, and risk governance support tailored to your threat profile. We operate as an embedded partner, not a periodic reviewer.

Audit readiness

Preparation for ISO 42001, ISO 27001, and PIPEDA with scoped gap assessments, control testing, and remediation priorities that reduce audit friction.

AI governance

Governance support for AI adoption, including model boundary definition, control mapping, and threat-informed oversight so human accountability remains clear as automation scales.

Cyber diligence

M&A cyber diligence, third-party risk review, and technical architecture assessment for transactions and programs where control failure has material business impact.

The sovereign framework

Intelligence-Led Cloud & AI Architecture Assessment

A seven-phase methodology for organizations adopting AI and cloud at speed. Built to reduce risk, protect trust, and keep governance actionable across technical and executive teams.

Phase 00

Initiation

Risk appetite definition, threat profile mapping, asset discovery, and regulatory obligation mapping. We establish the boundary before any assessment begins.

Phase 01

Current state

NIST CSF 2.0 maturity scoring across all five functions. Cloud configuration review, identity and access management posture, and SaaS proliferation audit.

Phase 02

Risk analysis

STRIDE threat modeling applied to your architecture. Quantitative risk scoring tied to business impact, not abstract severity ratings.

Phase 03

Technical review

OWASP Top 10 assessment, MITRE ATT&CK framework mapping, and post-quantum cryptography readiness evaluation.

Phase 04

Gap matrix

Control crosswalk with ROI weighting and severity prioritization. A clear view of exposure ranked by consequence, not compliance checkbox.

Phase 05

Roadmap

Horizon 1, 2, and 3 remediation planning. Short-cycle wins mapped alongside structural changes, designed for boards and engineering teams alike.

Phase 06

Validation

Control re-testing, effectiveness scoring, and continuous threat exposure management (CTEM). Governance does not end at the report.
