Platform Security Leadership (vCISO)

Scaling platform security through engineering-first leadership and execution


our sERVICE

As platforms and engineering organizations scale, security expectations increase across customers, regulators, and internal stakeholders. Without experienced security leadership, teams face rising risk, reactive compliance efforts, and misalignment between security and delivery.

We provide platform‑aligned security leadership that embeds security strategy, governance, and risk management directly into how platforms are designed, built, and operated.


what we deliver

We deliver security leadership that aligns strategy, governance, and engineering execution. Our focus is on embedding security into platform design, delivery pipelines, and organizational practices to support secure, scalable growth.

 

Security Strategy & Roadmaps

Define a clear, risk‑based security strategy aligned with business objectives and engineering realities. We conduct security maturity assessments, establish KPIs, define operating models, and create multi‑year roadmaps that prioritize the highest‑impact improvements.

Governance & Compliance

Design pragmatic governance and compliance programs that support growth rather than hinder it. We lead SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness, customer assurance initiatives, policy frameworks, and vendor risk management focused on audit readiness, consistency, and long‑term sustainability.

Board & Executive Engagement

Provide executive‑level security leadership through clear reporting, risk communication, and roadmap alignment. We translate security posture and risk into business relevant insights that enable confident decision‑making at the executive and board level.

Security Organization & Team Development

Support the design and evolution of high‑performing security organizations. We advise on team structure, hiring, operating models, and mentoring ensuring security capabilities scale alongside engineering and platform teams.
