Advisory & Hands-On Support

Senior expertise, when and where you need it.

What this engagement looks like

Not every security need fits neatly into a defined program. Sometimes you need a senior expert available for specific questions, decisions, or situations, without committing to a full engagement.

Advisory support gives you direct access to senior expertise on a flexible basis. This might mean joining your architecture reviews, evaluating a vendor's security claims, reviewing a contract's security requirements, or providing a second opinion on a decision your team is wrestling with.

This is also the right model for ongoing support after a larger engagement, maintaining continuity without the overhead of a full retainer.

This is for you if...

  • Organizations that have an internal security function but need senior escalation support
  • Companies facing a specific decision or situation that requires outside expertise
  • Clients from prior engagements who want to maintain continuity

This is not...

Organizations looking for a full security program from scratch. For that, the vCISO or assessment engagement is the right starting point.

Frequently asked

How does advisory support work practically?

We agree on a monthly allocation of hours. Within that, you reach out as needed: for calls, reviews, or written input. Unused hours don't roll over, but we scope based on realistic usage.

What's the minimum engagement?

Advisory typically runs a minimum of three months. Shorter situations are better handled as a defined project.
