Security leadership on demand.
You need someone accountable for security who can talk to a board, a regulator and an engineer in the same afternoon. You don't yet need that person full time, and at this stage you probably can't attract them anyway.
The difference
We build the role we're eventually replaced by.
The failure mode of fractional leadership is dependence: two years in, the knowledge lives in the consultant's head, the retainer never ends, and the exit costs more than the hire would have. Plenty of firms are quietly fine with that outcome.
We write the handover from the first month — documented decisions, a maintained roadmap, an owned risk register — so the day you hire internally, they inherit a functioning programme instead of starting an archaeology project.
How it works
Assess, plan, run, hand over.
-
01
Find out where you actually are
A short honest assessment against a framework that fits your size and obligations — not an aspirational enterprise standard you'll never meet.
-
02
Build a roadmap with money on it
Prioritised, costed and sequenced, tied to real drivers: a contract, a regulator, an insurer, a funding round.
-
03
Run the programme
Policy, vendor risk, incident readiness, audits and awareness — with someone accountable for the outcome, in your leadership meetings.
-
04
Report where it counts
Board and audit-committee material in the language those rooms use: risk, cost and trajectory, not tool names.
What you get
A programme, not advice.
-
Named security leader
A specific person in your leadership meetings, accountable for outcomes.
-
Costed roadmap
Sequenced work with budget attached, revisited quarterly rather than written once.
-
Board and audit reporting
Material that survives a board reading it, plus the evidence behind each claim.
-
A written handover
Maintained from day one, so hiring in-house is a transition and not a restart.
Nobody owns security right now?
That's the most common reason people call. Tell us what's forcing the question — a contract, an audit, an incident — and we'll tell you what the role needs to cover.
