Selected engagements, anonymised, and the delivery model that makes them work.
Engaged to redesign the security operating model for a Tier 1 global exchange group, running a privileged access management uplift in parallel and building the target operating model and delivery roadmap for the organisation's first agentic AI deployments.
Took over as fractional CISO from a tooling-led buildout that had deployed security products without the operational maturity to run them. Stood up SOC coverage, DLP, a risk management and GRC programme, control assurance, and a board-level cyber strategy from the ground up.
Leading a fast-scaling SaaS platform through FedRAMP Rev5 authorisation to submission milestone, while standing up SOC coverage, vulnerability management, a GRC programme, and continuous monitoring (ConMon) to meet FedRAMP 20x readiness requirements.
Designed and executed the cybersecurity strategy and investment roadmap for a Tier 1 global bank, holding accountability for a £160–240M portfolio across 50+ countries while embedding a leaner, more efficient operating model.
Three ways security transformation gets delivered. Only one keeps the person who built the trust accountable for the outcome.
A senior partner sells the vision. Once the SOW is signed, delivery passes to graduates and junior consultants. The cost stays senior-level. The delivery doesn't.
Reliable delivery resource against a defined scope. No strategic ownership, no governance, no one accountable for whether the engagement actually moves the needle.
The senior leader who builds the credibility stays engaged for the life of the engagement — owning governance and outcomes — while directing a vetted bench of architects, engineers, project managers, and analysts against the plan.
CISO Advisory Group delivers senior cybersecurity leadership to organisations that need it most — whether you are scaling rapidly, navigating a complex regulatory landscape, or simply lack the internal capability to stay ahead of the threat.
Our principal has spent over two decades leading security at the highest levels of global finance and critical national infrastructure. That depth of experience is what we bring to every engagement, applied practically to your environment, your risks, and your business objectives.
We are not a consultancy that produces reports and moves on. We embed, we own outcomes, and we stay until the job is done.
Beyond direct engagements, our principal has presented original research on AI security and post-quantum readiness directly to Tier 1 financial institution leadership teams, and has delivered executive and practitioner training across IAM, PAM, GRC, AI security, and post-quantum readiness.
An ongoing advisory relationship with regular touchpoints, programme oversight, and board-level reporting.
A defined scope and outcome — strategy reviews, assurance programmes, compliance delivery, or architecture design.
Flexible access to senior counsel for boards and executives who need expert input without a formal engagement.
