Security leadership, before the first security hire.
Leadership, round-the-clock detection, a hardened fleet and cloud guardrails, delivered as a service.
The brief
A high-growth energy company had a growing attack surface, no security leader, and no budget yet for a full in-house team.
What we did
- Lead
A fractional CISO
Strategy, compliance readiness and the board conversation, owned by one accountable person.
- Detect
A hosted operations center
Firewall, endpoint and cloud telemetry feeding tiered response and clear metrics.
- Harden
Every kind of device
Windows, Mac and Chromebook baselines, each proven in a pilot first.
- Guard
Two clouds and the people
Policy-as-code guardrails across both cloud estates, and phishing simulations that shaped which controls came next.
The result
Accountable leadership, detection that never sleeps, and metrics the board could follow, without the headcount of building it in-house.
The lesson
A full-time CISO is not a prerequisite for a security program. Accountability, cadence and continuous detection are.
