Senior security leadership, on contract.
Fractional vCISO · interim security director · strategic advisory · senior leadership contract. For organizations that need direction at the security-program level — without (or before) a full-time hire.
What your program gets.
Build and run security programs from the ground up. Set risk-based priorities. Align security investment to business objectives and regulatory obligations.
Stand up the operating model that makes a security function sustainable — not heroic: develop talent, define roles, and build a structure a team can run without depending on a single point of failure.
Translate the threat landscape and technical risk into terms leadership and boards act on — and own the security narrative to executives, auditors, and customers.
Zero Trust adoption. EDR/XDR at enterprise scale. Secure-SDLC programs. Cloud security across AWS and Azure.
Program-level command of NIST 800-53/800-171, CMMC, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2 — backed by a compliance platform that puts the GRC discipline in software.
Strategy backed by hands-on command.
Bring in fractional security leadership and the usual risk is a mismatch — a strategist who has lost the technical thread, or an engineer who cannot operate at the executive level. Key 102 is built to be neither. Program strategy is set with your executives, then the control itself is architected alongside your engineers: application security and code review inside SOX / GLBA / PCI DSS environments, vulnerability-management programs at enterprise scale, Zero Trust adoption and EDR/XDR across thousands of endpoints, defense-cyber operating discipline anchored to NIST SP 800-53. The point is not the résumé — it is that the strategy holds because whoever sets it has done the work, and will do it alongside your team.
Three ways organizations engage.
vCISO, interim security director, or program lead for organizations that need senior security direction without a full-time executive hire.
Security strategy, risk and maturity assessments, program design, board / executive guidance, regulatory-readiness leadership (CMMC, PCI).
Lead a security function or major initiative on contract, hands-on.
The experience your program inherits.
The environments behind the advice your team gets — framed by regulatory domain and controls catalog rather than employer name. Specific engagements available on request under NDA.
Senior security leadership across tier-1 financial institutions: application-security program build-out and secure-SDLC governance, architecture and code review at enterprise scale, and vulnerability-management programs run at twenty-person scale — all inside the SOX, GLBA, and PCI DSS regulatory perimeter.
Operating discipline anchored to NIST SP 800-53 — the federal controls catalog underneath NIST 800-171, CMMC, and PCI DSS — carried from mission-critical government and defense cyber operations, where controls only count if they hold when challenged.
Hands-on leadership of Zero Trust adoption, EDR/XDR rollout across 5,000+ endpoints, DLP and RBAC program design, and cloud security across the major hyperscalers — strategy backed by real architecture and engineering work, not slide-deck advisory.
A credentialed senior security team — leadership holding recognized information-security and network credentials, backing every engagement.
