Security leadership without the overhead

The same caliber of strategic guidance Fortune 500 companies receive from their internal security teams — structured for organizations that need expertise without a full-time executive hire.

CMMC & NIST Compliance

Gap analysis, SSP and POAM generation, evidence collection, and audit preparation for defense contractors and their supply chains. Built from direct experience standing up DoD compliance programs.

Virtual CISO

Fractional security leadership on retainer. Board reporting, policy development, risk management, vendor reviews, and strategic planning — grounded in executive-level communication and operational discipline.

AI Security & Governance

Threat modeling for LLM deployments, data governance frameworks, prompt injection defense, and compliance with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and emerging regulations. Informed by hands-on AI engineering.

Security Architecture Review

Deep technical assessment of infrastructure, cloud posture, application security, and network segmentation. Maturity scoring with a prioritized remediation roadmap mapped to CIS Benchmarks and NIST CSF.

Incident Response Retainer

Pre-negotiated retainer with guaranteed response SLAs. Includes IR plan development, tabletop exercises, and the assurance that experienced crisis management is one call away.

Security Training Programs

Custom security awareness curricula, phishing simulation campaigns, and security culture assessments. Designed to change behavior, not just check a compliance box. Backed by ISC2 and CompTIA partnerships.

Personal protection for high-profile individuals

The same operational security discipline applied to protecting nations, applied to protecting you and your family. Discreet, thorough, and structured for individuals whose exposure carries real consequences.

Personal Threat Assessment

Comprehensive digital footprint analysis and hardening. We assess everything findable about you and your family through open-source intelligence, then systematically reduce your attack surface.

Family Office Security

Security assessment and ongoing advisory for family offices managing significant wealth. Wire fraud defense, communication security, staff vetting, and vendor risk management.

Privacy & Counter-Surveillance

Digital privacy protection for individuals navigating sensitive situations. Secure communications, data broker removal, public records suppression, and ongoing monitoring. Absolute discretion guaranteed.

Residential Security Architecture

Smart home and property network assessment. Segmentation, hardening, and monitoring for connected homes where convenience should not compromise safety. Multi-property configurations supported.

23 years of operational discipline

I spent 21 years in the U.S. Navy submarine force, where security isn't a department — it's the operating system. That environment built an approach to risk management grounded in compartmentalization, defense in depth, and the understanding that the cost of failure is absolute.

After retiring as a Senior Chief, I carried that discipline into cybersecurity leadership — building compliance programs for defense contractors, developing tooling that reduced STIG compliance reviews from 350+ hours to 11, and advising organizations across the defense industrial base on their security posture.

I hold CISSP, CISM, and CEH certifications, maintain a TS/SCI clearance, and am completing a PhD in Cyber Leadership focused on strategies for democratizing cybersecurity capability. I also run a 501(c)(3) foundation providing cybersecurity education to underserved K-12 communities.
