We are in the security business. So "SECURITY" should be in the name, right?
When I first started on my own, I was a little afraid to get specific on the name of my business. I thought if I used the word "technology", it would give me more flexibility on what my offering was.
What I found was that generalization leads to ambiguity, and it's tough to do business with someone when you are unclear on what they offer.
So to be clear, I help financial institutions with cybersecurity and information technology by offering executive-level consulting, coaching, and advisory services.
Or more specifically, my offerings are:
virtualCISO - We provide leadership for your financial institution to develop and maintain your Information Security Program. This is best suited for banks that don’t have a true in-house CISO.
CISOmentor - Training and development of your in-house CISO. 1-on-1 guidance on the responsibilities of the CISO position in the financial industry. Ideal for CISO’s with less than 24 months experience.
CISOwingman - Supplemental expertise only when you need it. Let us be a resource to your in-house CISO through added insight and perspective. Or let us help you lighten your load by assisting with regular CISO tasks.
Needless to say, to show our commitment to information security, and avoid future confusion, we've registered the name with the state and bought the domain.
