Program Assessment & Roadmap

A time-boxed assessment producing a maturity baseline and a prioritized, budget-aware roadmap, not a checklist audit.

What This Is

This is a standalone read on where your security program actually stands, run over four to six weeks whether or not we already work together. It answers three questions: where you stand today, what matters most to fix first, and what it will cost to get there. You walk away with a roadmap your team can execute, not a report that sits in a drawer.

Is This the Right Fit

  • Leadership suspects gaps but has no credible, independent baseline to act on
  • A board, acquirer, or investor is requesting a security due-diligence read
  • A new security or IT leader wants an outside baseline before making changes
  • A prior assessment was a checklist audit that never turned into a funded plan
  • You're renewing cyber insurance and need to show program maturity

What You'll Have

  • A maturity scorecard against the framework that fits your business
  • A findings log framed in business risk, not raw severity scores
  • A prioritized 12–24 month roadmap with rough cost and effort per initiative
  • A board-ready executive readout
  • A quick-win list you can act on in the first 30–60 days
“This isn't a 40-page checklist that tells you everything is broken. It's a clear-eyed read on where you actually stand, tied to what it costs to fix and what happens if you don't.”
Also Consider

This works as a standalone engagement or as the opening phase of Fractional CISO Leadership. Let's talk about which fits.
