Fractional Chief Information Security Officer · New Hampshire
You have someone who keeps the computers working. That’s not the same as someone who decides what to protect and what it’s worth. I’m the second one.
A security executive, by the day or the month, for companies that need the judgment without the salary. I don’t sell you software and I don’t replace your IT people — I decide what matters, write it down, and stay accountable for it.
Four questions I get paid to answer
A full look at what you have, what it’s worth, and where it’s open. You end up holding the network drawings, the inventory, and a written plan with names and dates against it — the paperwork you’re expected to have and probably don’t.
A standing watch on what’s leaving your business, and what’s already sitting in the open. Passwords turning up in stolen data, files somewhere they shouldn’t be, outside apps nobody remembers letting in.
A written plan, a call list, and a rehearsal — before the bad night rather than during it. Who makes the call, who tells the insurer, who talks to your customers, and in what order.
What a stranger can learn about you and your leadership from public sources, and exactly how they’d turn it into a way in. Delivered calmly, with a short list of what to change first.
Who this is for
Companies too small to carry a full-time security executive and too exposed to go without one. Manufacturers and shops with defense work. Firms that move client money. Anyone whose insurance renewal just got harder, or who got handed a security questionnaire by a customer and had no one to give it to.
How I work
No tools resold, no cut of what you buy. You license what you need in your own name, so my advice isn’t attached to a product.
Your people or your shop keep doing the work. I set the priorities and stay accountable for the risk decisions.
I get you ready. An independent assessor certifies. Never the same party — that’s the whole point.
Call before you change anything. The evidence worth having is the same evidence that gets destroyed by cleaning up.

Start with a conversation. If you already know what you need, say so; if you only know something feels wrong, that’s a fine place to begin.
