Advisory

Executive security leadership, on the terms your board needs.

Flexible mandates tailored to where your organisation sits on its security and transformation journey — from independent board challenge to hands-on programme delivery.

Engagement models

Three ways to work together.

Each engagement is shaped around your risk appetite, regulatory exposure, and the maturity of your security function.

01
🏛️

Board & NED Advisory

Independent challenge and assurance on cyber risk, technology strategy, and transformation — translating technical exposure into board-level decisions and confidence.

02
🚀

Interim & Fractional Executive

Hands-on CISO, CIO, or CTO leadership to stand up, mature, or rescue security, technology, and resilience programmes — with measurable outcomes from day one.

03

Transformation Programmes

C-suite engagement models

Executive leadership, on the terms your board needs.

Interim, fractional or advisory — each model brings 25+ years of C-suite technology and security leadership into your organisation at the pace the situation demands.

Interim CISO

Full-authority security leadership through transition, incident recovery or regulatory scrutiny — stabilise, remediate, hand over stronger. DORA, NIS2 and ISO 27001 delivery included.

Fractional CIO

Board-level technology direction without the full-time cost: operating model, investment governance, transformation oversight and vendor leverage — typically 2–3 days a week.

Interim / Fractional CTO

Engineering and architecture leadership for scale-ups and regulated enterprises: platform strategy, AI adoption with governance, delivery discipline and technical due diligence.

Board Cyber Advisor

Independent counsel to boards, audit and risk committees: cyber risk appetite, breach readiness, regulator engagement and challenge of executive assurance.

Programme Rescue

Security and technology programmes that are red and getting redder: rapid diagnostic, replan, and delivery leadership until the programme is demonstrably green.

Non-Executive Director

NED and committee roles for organisations that need deep cyber, AI-governance and technology-risk expertise in the boardroom itself.
