Section 1: Introduction
I work with security leaders and technical organizations on strategy, program architecture, and decisions at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.
Each service area has its own deep focus. Choose the one that matches your biggest challenge right now—or reach out to discuss which combination makes sense for your organization.
Section 2: Four Service Pillars
Pillar 1: AI Security Strategy
The challenge: You’re adopting AI tools fast. Your team needs a framework for making safe decisions systematically—not saying “no” to everything, and not saying “yes” without thinking through risks.
What we do: Build a decision-making framework, document governance, and establish review cycles so your team can move fast with clarity on what’s acceptable.
For: Organizations integrating 5+ AI tools, needing governance before regulators require it, wanting to move faster than risk-averse competitors.

Pillar 2: Penetration Testing & Offensive Security
The challenge: Your security controls look good on paper. But do they actually work against real attackers? Vulnerability scans miss attack chains. Compliance audits check boxes. You need hands-on testing.
What we do: Systematic penetration testing using attacker methodologies—in a controlled way. We test whether your security actually holds up, then help you fix what we find.
For: Organizations that want to know their real security posture, need SMB-focused testing (cost-effective, not enterprise-scale), or are preparing for audit.

Pillar 3: Compliance & Risk Management
The challenge: Compliance programs often fail because they’re built backwards—start with framework, retrofit your business. That creates overhead, resistance, and programs that don’t work.
What we do: Build compliance programs aligned to your actual risks and how you actually work. Make controls sustainable, not burdensome. SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI—we tailor to what matters for your organization.
For: Organizations needing compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001) for customer confidence, facing regulatory change, or wanting sustainable programs (not theater).

Pillar 4: Leadership Advisory & Strategic Consulting
The challenge: CISO and CTO roles are complex. Innovation vs. security tension. Board visibility. Team retention. Regulatory changes. You need a strategic sounding board—someone who’s navigated these tradeoffs and can help you think clearly.
What we do: Quarterly strategic sessions, ad-hoc consultation on difficult decisions, and partnership on organizational challenges. Not project consulting—ongoing partnership with someone who understands the role from the inside.
For: C-suite security leaders (CISO, CTO, VP Security) navigating organizational complexity, transformation, or strategic uncertainty.

Section 3: How to Choose
Start with your biggest pain point right now:
- “We’re adopting AI but don’t know how to govern it safely” → AI Security Strategy
- “We need to know if our security actually works” → Penetration Testing
- “We need SOC 2 / compliance but don’t want theater” → Compliance & Risk
- “I’m a security leader navigating complex decisions” → Leadership Advisory
Often these work together. Your compliance program should align with your risk assessment (from pentest). Your AI governance is part of your overall compliance framework. Your leadership strategy ties everything together.
Unsure which? Start with a conversation. We’ll help you figure out what matters most.
Section 4: Who This Works Best With
My engagements tend to work well with:
- Security leaders who need a strategic partner, not another vendor
- Technical organizations making serious investments in security
- Builders who want to get AI integration right before it becomes a liability
- CTOs and engineering leaders who need security perspective without a full-time hire
- Organizations that value clarity and evidence over compliance theater
Section 5: What I Don’t Do
To be clear about fit:
- Pen testing or red team operations — I’m a strategist, not an operator. (Red Stick Solutions handles offensive security as a separate firm.)
- Compliance checkbox consulting — If you need SOC 2 paperwork without substance, I’m not the right fit.
- Long-term retainers without defined scope — Every engagement starts with a clear problem statement and defined outcome.
Section 6: Get Started
Three ways to engage:
Option 1: Discovery Call (30 minutes, no obligation)
Describe your situation and what you’re trying to solve. We’ll discuss which service area makes sense, what a typical engagement looks like, and whether it’s a good fit.
