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
Custom Security Advisory (if what you need is narrower and faster than a full assessment)
Fractional CISO Leadership (the natural next step to execute the roadmap)
Risk Assessments (a deeper dive on a specific high-risk domain)
Executive & Board Risk Reporting (the standing version of this readout)
This works as a standalone engagement or as the opening phase of Fractional CISO Leadership. Let's talk about which fits.
