What I Do

I help organizations build security programs that protect against modern threats, comply with regulations, and enable business growth.

Virtual CISO Services

Fractional CISO expertise for organizations that need strategic security leadership without a full-time executive. I assess your current posture, develop roadmaps, and guide implementation.

AI Security & Governance

Navigate the security and compliance challenges of AI deployment. From LLM security to bias testing to regulatory compliance, I help you build AI systems responsibly.

Privacy & Surveillance Law

Expert guidance on GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, and emerging surveillance regulations. I've spoken at the FTC and worked with regulators—I know how they think.

Security Program Development

Build or mature your security program with proven frameworks. OWASP, NIST, ISO 27001—I've implemented them all and can tailor them to your organization.

Why Work With Me

30 years of expertise, proven track record, and active engagement with the security community.
