A senior security owner on a monthly retainer: decisions, policies, client questionnaires and incident guidance, without a full-time hire.

Growing companies reach a point where customers ask for security answers, auditors ask for evidence and engineers need decisions, long before a full-time security leader makes sense.
We act as your security lead: an agreed number of days each month to own the security roadmap, answer customers and auditors, review changes, and be there when something goes wrong.
When you need this
- Enterprise customers send security questionnaires you struggle to answer
- You are preparing for an audit, a certification or a client due-diligence review
- Nobody on the team clearly owns security decisions
- You have had an incident and want a steady hand for what comes next
## Done this month✓ Acme Bank questionnaire answered (212 q)✓ SSO enforced on the admin console✓ Leaver access review: 4 accounts removed ## Open risks✕ Backups never restore-tested→ Next: patch policy, restore test, VAPT scope
