ADVISORY
An attacker's judgement, on your side of the table.
I've spent a career breaking into banks, insurers and critical infrastructure. Advisory is that experience pointed at your decisions: what the AI threat means for you, what to spend on, and what to ignore.
THE OFFERS
Who I advise.
Board briefings
Your board has read about deepfakes; they have not watched one of their own executives cloned in front of them. I run that moment, then translate it in plain terms. I contributed to CBEST and I speak fluent audit committee.
→ a board that asks the right questions at the next budget round
- →60 to 90 minutes, boardroom or offsite
- →A live demonstration: a cloned voice in the room
- →The AI threat mapped to your organisation
- →The questions to ask your security team
- →A one-page brief the board keeps
vCISO
An offensive expert on demand. Big enough to be attacked, not big enough for a full-time CISO: I set the priorities an attacker would respect. The judgement without the headcount.
→ security decisions made with attacker logic, not checkbox logic
- →A named security lead, without the headcount
- →A priority roadmap set by attacker logic
- →Vendor claims and quotes, filtered
- →Client questionnaires and audits, answered
- →The bad-day call: someone to ring first
