Security Program Review Services

Clarity first. Then upgrade.

Get An Executive-Ready Review That Turns Gaps Into a Roadmap

Security works when everyone understands what it’s trying to achieve and how it supports the business. This review reframes your program in plain language—how risk gets recognized, how decisions are made, and where controls truly change outcomes. We look at the seams where most issues emerge: handoffs between teams, exceptions that quietly become norms, and architecture choices that create hidden complexity. The emphasis is on fit-for-purpose safeguards that align to how your organization builds software, uses cloud and SaaS, manages vendors, and serves customers—so security strengthens speed instead of slowing it.

Equally important is how the program communicates value. We highlight the signals leaders should watch, the narratives that resonate with boards and customers, and the operating rhythms that keep momentum. Expect sharper priorities, fewer fire drills, and a roadmap that balances quick wins with structural improvements. The end result is a program that’s explainable, defensible, and easier to run—without adding bureaucracy.

Fix the right things.

Inside Your Security Program Review

We translate security architecture and operations into plain-language priorities, backed by defensible evidence and an execution plan.

Talk to An Expert

How decisions get made—and measured.

Focus: mandates and policies, ownership (RACI), budget and staffing, decision rights, risk acceptance, and leadership reporting.
Outcome: clearer accountability and a cadence that keeps security aligned with business goals.

Are the fundamentals strong where it counts?

Identity & Access: IAM/PAM baselines, admin tiering, SSO/MFA coverage, joiner/mover/leaver hygiene.
Data Protection: classification, DLP, encryption & key management, secrets handling, privacy touchpoints.
Detection & Response: EDR/XDR, SIEM/SOAR, logging coverage, alert quality, incident playbooks, tabletop readiness.
Cloud & Application: guardrails, IaC/pipeline controls, appsec practices (threat modeling, testing, dependency risk).

Reduce surprises—with evidence.

Risk: register quality, scoring consistency, KRIs/KPIs, treatment tracking.
Compliance: mapping to required frameworks and contracts; audit artifacts that exist vs. missing.
Third Party: intake, due diligence, contract controls, continuous monitoring, and exception handling.

Show progress leaders can trust.

What we align: leading indicators (coverage, control performance) and lagging indicators (incident impact, time to contain).
Deliverable: a concise KPI/KRI set and dashboard outline tied to roadmap milestones.

Go deeper where it helps most.

Choices: focused reviews (e.g., identity, DFIR, cloud guardrails, third-party risk), executive workshop, or board briefing deck.
