Senior security expertise — inside your team, executing real work.
Not a strategy deck. Not a recommendation memo. An experienced practitioner working alongside your team on the projects that keep your security program running, compliant, and defensible.
You have a security team. You don't have a senior practitioner leading it.
Junior staff can't lead technical security work.
Monitoring tuning, IAM reviews, architecture documentation, and phishing simulations all require someone who has done it before — at scale, in regulated environments. A team of analysts without senior leadership makes mistakes that don't surface until an audit or a breach.
Policies mean nothing if they aren't being followed.
Most companies have documented policies. Far fewer have someone verifying that daily operations actually reflect them. An embedded practitioner closes that gap — reviewing, testing, and correcting before OCR or an auditor does.
New security tools need proper configuration.
A misconfigured SIEM, an overpermissioned IAM environment, or an untuned monitoring stack creates false confidence. The tool is running — but it isn't working. Getting it right from the start requires experience, not vendor documentation.
Cloud infrastructure drift is a compliance liability.
Cloud environments change constantly. What was compliant at your last audit may not be today. Regular infrastructure reviews against HIPAA Security Rule requirements catch drift before it becomes a finding — or a breach.
Hands-on execution across your security program.
Monitoring & Detection Tuning
SIEM configuration, alert tuning, log source onboarding, and detection rule refinement to reduce noise and improve signal.
Cloud Infrastructure Review
AWS, Azure, or GCP environment review against HIPAA Security Rule requirements. Identifies misconfigurations, access control gaps, and compliance drift.
IAM & Access Reviews
Identity and access management audits, least-privilege enforcement, privileged access review, and role rationalization.
Phishing Simulations
Designed and executed phishing campaigns to test workforce awareness, identify high-risk users, and inform training priorities.
Architecture Documentation
Security architecture documentation, data flow diagrams, and system boundary documentation for audit readiness and internal clarity.
Security Tool Configuration
Deployment and configuration of new security tools — EDR, CASB, DLP, vulnerability scanners — to ensure they're working as intended from day one.
Policy Compliance Verification
Operational review to confirm that documented policies and procedures are being followed — not just filed.
Incident Response Support
Real-time support during security events — containment, investigation, documentation, and communication with leadership and counsel.
Ongoing Program Oversight
Regular cadence with leadership on program status, risk posture, upcoming audits, and remediation priorities.
A monthly retainer — or scoped by project.
Retainer engagements include a defined monthly scope agreed at the outset. Project-based work is available for one-time, bounded engagements.
Monthly Retainer
3-month minimum · Defined monthly scope · Ongoing embedded partnership with your security team
- Defined hours and deliverables each month
- Direct access — no account manager in between
- Covers any combination of embedded work
- Monthly program status reporting
- Scales with your needs quarter to quarter
Project-Based
Scoped one-time engagements · Defined deliverable · No ongoing commitment required
- Fixed scope defined before work begins
- Ideal for a single audit, review, or configuration
- Phishing simulations, IAM reviews, tool configurations
- Statement of work provided upfront
- No retainer required
Retainer scope is defined collaboratively at engagement start. Most clients begin with a 90-day engagement to address immediate priorities, then renew on a rolling basis.
