A named executive.
Not a rotating consultant.
Regulated companies don't need a different face from the bench every quarter. They need one accountable leader who knows the program, sits with the board, and is still there next year.
Three ways to work together.
Every engagement is scoped to your program's actual maturity — not a fixed package. Reach out and we'll recommend a starting point.
Strategic guidance
Periodic strategic oversight for teams with internal security capability that need an experienced executive voice in the room.
- Monthly strategy sessions
- Board & leadership reporting
- Policy & program review
- On-call for material decisions
Integrated leadership
A named executive who joins your leadership team — present in key meetings, owning vendor and risk decisions alongside your staff.
- Weekly cadence with leadership
- Vendor & third-party risk ownership
- Incident response leadership
- Board & investor representation
Full program ownership
End-to-end ownership of a security, compliance, and privacy program — built and run by the same accountable executive throughout.
- Program design & build-out
- Audit & certification ownership
- Full security/compliance/privacy scope
- Dedicated weekly hours
One leader. Three scopes.
Regulated companies rarely have separate budget for a CISO, a CCO, and a CPO. A named executive can responsibly hold all three — because the risks are the same risk, viewed from different rooms.
Security
Technical and organizational safeguards, incident response, vendor risk, and the security posture your board and customers actually rely on.
Compliance
HIPAA, state law, and contractual obligations translated into a program that holds up under audit — not just a binder of policies.
Privacy
Data minimization, individual rights, and the privacy posture that increasingly determines whether AI initiatives are even permitted to proceed.
Questions worth answering up front.
You get one named, accountable executive who stays with your program — not a rotating bench of consultants. The person in your board meeting this quarter is the same person next quarter.
Bowen & Company delivers fixed-scope work — HIPAA Security Risk Assessments, AI Risk Assessments, and similar deliverable-based engagements. Named CISO is the ongoing, retained leadership relationship: strategy, governance, and accountability over time.
Yes — when an engagement involves access to protected health information, a BAA is executed before any PHI access begins.
Most engagements begin within two to three weeks of an initial conversation, depending on scope and current program maturity.
What CISOs Say
"Chris led our breach simulation and uncovered gaps in our incident response process that years of internal testing had missed — gaps that, left unaddressed, would have meaningfully delayed our response in a real event. The exercise gave our executive team an honest picture of our readiness and a concrete action plan. His ability to work at both the strategic and technical level made the engagement unlike anything we'd done before."
— CISO, 38-Hospital Integrated Delivery Network
"Over five engagements, Chris consistently surfaced vulnerabilities in our incident response that internal exercises had never caught. Each simulation built on the last, progressively stress-testing our program and giving our leadership team the confidence — and the evidence — to invest in the right improvements. He's the kind of advisor you bring back."
— CISO, Large Catholic Health System
"Chris conducted a breach simulation that exposed critical gaps in our incident response we hadn't identified through internal testing. The exercise gave our leadership team an unfiltered view of our actual readiness — and a prioritized roadmap to address it. His executive-level credibility and technical depth made him uniquely effective in our environment."
— CISO, One of the Most Recognized Medical Associations in the United States
