How I help

This advisory work is designed for small, owner-led organizations that want clarity without being pulled into an enterprise-sized program.

I don’t sell tools, manage systems, or take control of your operations. I help you understand what matters, reduce unnecessary risk, and make calmer decisions—using language that makes sense to you.

This is a good fit if you:

  • • Run a small or midsize organization
  • • Handle sensitive or important information
  • • Rely on vendors, cloud tools, or outside IT support
  • • Want clear priorities instead of endless recommendations

This is not:

  • • Managed IT or outsourced security operations
  • • A compliance certification or audit service
  • • A one-size-fits-all checklist
  • • An enterprise governance program

What the advisory focuses on

Understanding what applies

We look at how your business actually operates and clarify which expectations—legal, contractual, or practical—are likely relevant, which are not, and which deserve attention over time.

Reducing everyday risk

Instead of chasing every possible issue, we focus on the common failure points that lead to incidents: accounts, email, devices, backups, and basic access control.

Avoiding vendor surprises

We clarify responsibilities across vendors and cloud tools so expectations are clear before something goes wrong—not after.

Preparing for likely disruptions

We identify what would hurt most if it failed—email, payments, scheduling, data—and make sure recovery expectations are realistic.

Optional: how the work is organized

You don’t need to learn a new framework to work together. For those who prefer structure, the advisory is organized into four practical areas.

Clarity

Understanding obligations, expectations, and gray areas in plain language.

Stability

Strengthening everyday security hygiene so common issues are less likely.

Vendor & Cloud Risk

Clarifying responsibilities and dependencies across the tools you rely on.

Resilience

Preparing for outages and disruptions so recovery is faster and calmer.

How engagement usually works

Engagements are advisory-only and scoped to your needs. Implementation stays with your internal team, IT provider, or vendors.

  • • Start with a conversation about how the business runs
  • • Receive plain-language findings and priorities
  • • Decide what to act on and when

If this sounds helpful

The simplest next step is a short conversation. You can ask questions, describe your situation, and decide whether it makes sense to go further.
