Strategic cybersecurity counsel for organizations navigating compliance, risk, and emerging threats — and private protection for individuals who can't afford exposure.
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.
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.
Fractional security leadership on retainer. Board reporting, policy development, risk management, vendor reviews, and strategic planning — grounded in executive-level communication and operational discipline.
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.
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.
Pre-negotiated retainer with guaranteed response SLAs. Includes IR plan development, tabletop exercises, and the assurance that experienced crisis management is one call away.
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.
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.
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.
Security assessment and ongoing advisory for family offices managing significant wealth. Wire fraud defense, communication security, staff vetting, and vendor risk management.
Digital privacy protection for individuals navigating sensitive situations. Secure communications, data broker removal, public records suppression, and ongoing monitoring. Absolute discretion guaranteed.
Smart home and property network assessment. Segmentation, hardening, and monitoring for connected homes where convenience should not compromise safety. Multi-property configurations supported.
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.
Every engagement begins with a confidential consultation to understand your situation, assess the scope, and determine whether we're the right fit.
For private client inquiries, you're welcome to use a pseudonym in the form. Discretion is foundational to how I work, not an add-on.
