Cybersecurity

Enterprise Security Leadership

Strategy, vCISO leadership, program builds, M&A due diligence, compliance, incident response, and supply-chain risk. Led by practitioners who've held Fortune 500 CISO seats and briefed boards.

AI & ML

AI Strategy & Governance

Enterprise AI strategy, model governance, responsible-AI operating models, privacy-centric deployment, and security for AI systems. Built for regulated environments and board-level scrutiny.

Transformation

AI-Powered Process Redesign

For enterprises past incremental improvement. Intelligent automation, workflow re-architecture, and operating models built on GCP and Azure for compounding returns.

Advisory that doesn't stop at the deck.

Every engagement includes hands-on delivery. We advise, architect, build, and operate — embedded with your team until the outcome is in production.

Leadership

vCISO & vCTO as a Service

Fractional C-suite technology leadership — security and engineering — for companies that need senior operators. Board-ready reporting, full program ownership, and hands-on team leadership.

Cybersecurity

Security Program Design & Compliance

End-to-end security program architecture across SOC2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, FedRAMP, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Audit readiness, SSDLC, and governance frameworks that hold up to scrutiny.

AI / ML

AI Strategy, Governance & Safety

Enterprise AI use-case consolidation, model risk assessment, privacy-centric deployment, and responsible-AI operating models. Designed for regulated environments and board-level scrutiny.

Transformation

AI-Powered Process Redesign

Identify the processes where AI creates durable advantage — then redesign, automate, and deploy on GCP or Azure. From intelligent triage to autonomous operations.

M&A

Cyber Due Diligence

Pre- and post-acquisition security diligence. Risk quantification, integration playbooks, and threat modeling — grounded in McKinsey M&A methodology and Intel-scale integration experience.

Response

Incident Response & Crisis Readiness

Tabletop exercises, crisis frameworks, BISO model, Business Continuity Planning, and direct coordination with regulators and law enforcement when it counts.

Three phases. No theatre.

Senior practitioners embedded from day one — and they stay through production.

01

Assess

Deep diagnostic of your current state — security posture, AI readiness, process maturity. Delivered as a clear-eyed brief, not a binder. Typically 2–3 weeks.

02

Build

Hands-on design and implementation. Security programs, AI governance, process re-architecture — built collaboratively with your team on GCP or Azure.

03

Operate

We stay through production. vCISO/vCTO retainers, managed oversight, continuous improvement, and knowledge transfer. Outcomes over outputs.

Thought leaders who still ship.

From Silicon Valley to Europe and Asia Pacific — our practice is led by operators who have held the seats, built the programs, and shipped at scale.

He is based in Scotland.
