Services
Cyber Wasp delivers security advisory, architecture, and risk work across the full engagement lifecycle, from initial assessment through design, implementation guidance, and the governance that sustains it. Engagements are scoped to the problem in front of you and led directly by the principal.
Security and Risk Advisory
For organizations without dedicated security leadership, or with a program that has outgrown its governance.
- Fractional and virtual CISO leadership on retainer
- Security program design and multi-year roadmap development
- Enterprise cyber risk assessment, risk register construction, and residual risk reporting
- Cyber operational risk management and independent control assessment across all three lines of defense
- Regulatory readiness across NIST CSF, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, NYDFS Part 500, FFIEC, and SOX ITGC
- Third-party and vendor risk assessment programs
- Trust, safety, and privacy by design for platforms handling sensitive or high-risk user data
- Board and executive risk briefings
Typical deliverables: security program roadmap, enterprise risk register, control gap assessment, board reporting pack, policy and standards library.
Security Architecture and Engineering
For organizations building, migrating, or repairing an environment where the design has to hold under load.
- Enterprise and cloud security architecture design and independent architecture review
- Identity and access management and privileged access management strategy, design, and delivery
- Zero trust, conditional access, least privilege, and just-in-time access models
- Network segmentation, data protection, encryption, and data loss prevention design
- Security operations design: detection engineering, SIEM and endpoint coverage, threat intelligence integration, alerting thresholds mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
- Security program and project management through implementation
Typical deliverables: target-state reference architecture, current-state gap analysis, prioritized remediation plan, control pattern library, implementation roadmap.
AI Security and Governance
For organizations adopting AI capability faster than they can govern it.
- Organizational AI governance programs aligned to the NIST AI RMF and adjacent frameworks
- Acceptable use policy, model and vendor evaluation, and AI approval workflows
- Shadow AI discovery, data leakage prevention, and monitoring for AI activity
- Agentic AI security, our specialty practice: agent and automation inventory, exposure assessment, non-human identity and entitlement design, credential handling, human-in-the-loop control points, and assessment against the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications
Typical deliverables: agent inventory and exposure register, AI governance framework, agent identity and entitlement model, AI risk assessment report.
Merger and Acquisition Security
For organizations where a transaction is underway and security exposure has to be understood before it is inherited.
- Pre-transaction security due diligence and target risk assessment
- Integration security architecture and sequencing
- Identity and access rationalization across merging environments
- Control and compliance gap analysis against acquirer standards
- Post-close integration risk tracking
Typical deliverables: due diligence findings report, integration security architecture, IAM rationalization plan, remediation and tracking register.
Crisis, Incident, and Resilience
For organizations that need to know what happens when something goes wrong, before it does.
- Incident response plan development, severity tiering, and escalation design
- Incident playbooks and runbooks for defined failure scenarios
- Executive and technical tabletop exercises, including AI and agent-specific scenarios
- Crisis and emergency response advisory drawn from direct operational command
- Business continuity and disaster recovery planning grounded in degraded operations
- Threat intelligence and predictive monitoring capability design
Typical deliverables: incident response plan, severity and escalation matrix, incident runbooks, tabletop exercise and after-action report, continuity plan.
Speaking, Training, and Advisory Engagements
For organizations and institutions that need security explained credibly to an audience that is not made of engineers.
- Keynote and panel appearances on cybersecurity, AI risk, and public safety technology
- Executive and board education sessions
- Team training and security awareness program development
- Technical mentorship and structured learning engagements for security teams
- Community and public sector advisory on technology risk and responsible AI
How We Engage
Fixed-scope assessment. A defined problem, a defined timeline, a written deliverable. Suited to architecture reviews, risk assessments, due diligence, and agent inventory work.
Advisory retainer. Ongoing access to senior security judgment on a monthly basis, for teams that need a second opinion before decisions rather than after them.
Fractional leadership. Sustained engagement as your security executive, covering strategy, governance, board reporting, and program direction.
Project delivery. Architecture and program work carried through implementation alongside your engineering teams.
Not every organization needs every engagement. If the right answer is a narrower scope than you came in for, we will say so.
