Fractional CISO & Enterprise Security Advisory

Don't let security kill the deal.

When a customer's security team shows up late in the deal, you don't need a bigger security department. You need a credible senior executive who knows what's required, can prove what's true, and can confidently represent your security posture to the customer.

What We Do

Senior security leadership, sized to the deal in front of you.

Know what's required. Know what actually matters. Know what not to buy.

01

Security Questionnaire Rescue

An enterprise customer sent a security questionnaire. We translate the questions, draft answers grounded in your actual controls and evidence, flag the gaps, and mark anything that needs leadership or legal sign-off.

Project · From $1,500
02

Enterprise Security Deal Rescue

A buyer's security team showed up late in the deal. We triage the questionnaire, identify security requirements in the customer's addendum, validate your controls and evidence, join customer security calls, and develop a focused gap and response plan. Contractual or legal issues are flagged for your counsel.

03

Fractional CISO — Advisory

Senior security leadership without the cost of a full-time CISO. We advise leadership on cyber risk, guide security strategy, represent the company in customer security discussions, oversee the security roadmap, and provide executive-level reporting and accountability.

Security Program Buildout

Your customers are asking for a security program you haven't formally built yet. We create the policies, standards, risk management, incident response, vendor risk, control documentation, and security roadmap behind your security commitments.

05

Gap Assessment

Contract terms, framework requirements, auditor expectations, and customer preferences all blur together. We separate what's actually required from what's nice to have — before you spend. Deliverable: a prioritized requirements matrix, gap report, and remediation roadmap.

Right-sized compliance
06

Security Program Management

We keep the security program moving — managing priorities, documentation, assessments, vendors, remediation, evidence, and the recurring customer requirements that keep landing on someone's desk.

GCA Security Program Blueprint

You are not ready to bring in a fractional CISO, but a customer is already asking for policies and evidence. The Blueprint is that program in editable form — policies, a scored assessment, a risk register, evidence tracking, and the operating cadence that keeps it current.

How We Work

Know what's required before you spend.

01

Triage

We read the questionnaire, addendum, or audit request and separate what's contractually required from what's customer preference.

02

Verify

We validate your controls and pull the evidence together, so every answer you give is one you can support.

03

Represent

We join customer security discussions, explain your controls, provide supporting evidence, and help resolve technical security concerns. Contractual or legal issues stay with the appropriate business or legal owner.

04

Oversee

When specialist work is needed — audits, pen tests, remediation — we scope it, oversee the vendors, and validate the outcome. Your team keeps ownership of its systems.

Especially when — you're moving upmarket

Larger buyers run security reviews before they sign, and the questions often arrive late

Especially when — your founder or CTO is the default security lead

Security landed on someone who already has a full-time job

Especially when — investors or the board are asking

Questions about security risk and readiness are getting specific

Especially when — a customer, insurer, or partner raises the bar

New requirements arrive mid-relationship, usually with a deadline attached
