Services
AI security and governance engagements designed for CISOs at regulated organizations — each with a defined scope, timeline, and deliverable. No open-ended retainers, no vague "advisory" work.
Who it's for: security and compliance leaders in healthcare, financial services, retail, and energy who need to bring AI risk under control without slowing the business down.

Book a Discovery CallHow we work
-
Discovery call
A 30-minute conversation to understand your current state, timeline, and what a successful outcome looks like. No slides, no sales pitch.
-
Scoping and kick-off
We agree on scope, access requirements, and key stakeholders. For assessment engagements, this includes interview scheduling and document request list.
-
Structured analysis
Interviews, technical review, and framework mapping. We synthesize findings in real time rather than saving everything for a final report dump.
-
Delivery and Q&A
A written deliverable designed for a board audience, followed by a structured Q&A period. Recommendations are actionable, not abstract.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you work with companies that are new to AI governance?
- Yes. The assessment engagement is designed for organizations at any stage — from "we've deployed a few AI tools" to "we have an active AI program but no governance layer." Most clients start here.
- How is this different from a general security assessment?
- AI systems introduce risks that traditional security frameworks don't cover well — model behavior, training data provenance, inference-time attacks, and regulatory requirements specific to AI. The assessment applies NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, and ISO 42001 lenses that a general security audit won't.
- Do you work with a specific AI framework or regulation?
- The engagement is framework-aware, not framework-prescriptive. We map to the frameworks that are most relevant to your jurisdiction, industry, and risk profile — rather than producing a generic compliance checklist.
- We already have a CISO. Why would we need a fractional AI security advisor?
- Most CISOs weren't hired to be AI security experts — and that expertise takes years to develop. The fractional model gives your CISO a trusted resource for AI-specific decisions without the 9-month hiring cycle for a full-time specialist.
- What does engagement look like in practice?
- Engagements start with a structured discovery phase (interviews, document review, technical inventory). Deliverables are written for a non-technical board audience but grounded in technical findings. We stay engaged through the Q&A period to make sure recommendations land.
- Is there a retainer minimum?
- The fractional advisor engagement requires a 3-month minimum. This ensures enough continuity to be useful — one-off advice on complex AI risk questions is rarely sufficient.
- Do you offer implementation support after the roadmap?
- The roadmap engagement delivers a prioritized action plan with clear owners. Implementation support beyond the Q&A period is typically scoped as a fractional advisory arrangement.
Not sure which engagement fits?
The discovery call is free and takes 30 minutes. We'll help you figure out the right scope — or tell you if we're not the right fit.
