Your enterprise deals shouldn’t stall because of a security questionnaire.

I help SaaS companies get SOC 2 certified, pass ISO 27001 audits, achieve FedRAMP readiness, and meet HIPAA requirements — building the security posture that makes enterprise customers say yes without slowing down your product or your team.

Services

Security & Compliance Advisory

You don’t need a 400-page framework — you need someone who can tell you what matters, what doesn’t, and what to fix first. I help SaaS leadership teams build security programs that satisfy enterprise buyers and hold up under scrutiny.

SOC 2 & ISO 27001 Readiness

From your first gap assessment to the day your auditor signs off, I guide you through every step. No rework cycles, no surprises during fieldwork, and no consultants who disappear after handing you a spreadsheet.

vCISO & Risk Management

Not every company needs a full-time CISO — but every company past Series A needs someone in that seat. I serve as your fractional security leader: setting strategy, managing risk, advising the board, and representing security in your leadership conversations.

FedRAMP Readiness

Pre-ATO advisory for SaaS companies entering the federal market. I help you map controls, close gaps, and prepare your documentation before engaging a 3PAO — so the authorization process moves faster and costs less.

HIPAA Gap Assessment

A structured evaluation of your current controls against the HIPAA Security Rule. Designed for SaaS companies handling protected health information — or their business associates — who need to know exactly where they stand before a client asks.

Who I Work With

Most of my clients come to me at the same inflection point: an enterprise deal is contingent on SOC 2, a customer just sent a 200-question security questionnaire, or the board is asking who owns information security. I work with the teams navigating exactly that moment.

Early-stage SaaS companies

You’ve been told you need a SOC 2, but don’t know where to start or what it will actually require from your team. I give you a clear, honest roadmap — and I don’t make it harder than it needs to be.

Growing cloud startups

Enterprise customers are asking harder security questions before they sign. I help you answer them with confidence — and turn your compliance posture into a competitive advantage.

Technical founders & leadership teams

You understand the technology, but security compliance is a different language. I translate it into decisions you can own, without hiring a full-time executive you don’t yet need.

Cloud-native product teams

You’ve built something fast and modern — now it needs to be secure and demonstrably so. I help you refine your posture to align with your existing cloud infrastructure.

Whether you’re three months from an audit, six months from your first enterprise deal, or simply not sure what your biggest exposure is — a 30-minute conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies a lot.
