The best architecture is worthless if implementation fails. And implementation fails more often than anyone admits. Vendor promises do not match reality. Integration challenges multiply. Organizational resistance emerges. Through vendor selection support, implementation oversight, and advisory services, I help ensure that your security transformation actually delivers the outcomes you designed for.
This is not project management. It is expert oversight that catches problems before they become crises. I provide objective, experience-based guidance through the complexity of vendor selection, implementation oversight, and ongoing advisory services.
Objective, experience-based guidance through the crowded, confusing security technology market. Define evaluation criteria based on your actual requirements, develop realistic proof-of-concept scenarios that expose vendor weaknesses, and provide candid assessments based on implementation experience.
Regular checkpoints to ensure implementation stays on track. Review progress against architecture intent, identify emerging issues before they become blockers, and provide guidance on technical decisions. Particularly valuable when using system integrators or vendor professional services.
Flexible engagement model for periodic access to expert guidance: monthly check-ins to review progress, quarterly architecture reviews, or on-demand access to discuss emerging challenges. Expert guidance scaled to your needs.
Expert guidance through significant migrations: from legacy systems to modern platforms, from on-premises to cloud, from traditional perimeter to Zero Trust architecture. Migration strategies that manage risk, rollback criteria and procedures, and oversight during critical migration phases.

Most advisory services guide you toward more products. More complexity. More integration challenges. Then they leave. The Guide pillar focuses on integration failure — because that's where Zero Trust actually fails.
Every engagement begins with a conversation - not a sales pitch. We discuss your challenges, I ask questions to understand your context, and together we determine if there's a fit. If there is, I propose a scope and approach. No lengthy procurement processes unless you require them.
Whether you need a Zero Trust maturity assessment, a security architecture review, or guidance on integrating AI into your security operations, I am here to help. No sales process. No discovery calls with junior staff. Let us talk directly about your challenges.
