Free Exposure Risk Scorecard
Discover where identity, access, and sharing may be exposing sensitive data in your environment.
Security Assessments for Regulated, Data-Sensitive, and Critical Operations
These services are designed to expose exploitable attack paths in environments where sensitive data and operational reliance make weak security decisions a critical business risk.
Identity Attack Surface
Review how identity, access, and privilege structures could be used to move through your environment, escalate access, or weaken control boundaries. This includes roles, administrative permissions, service accounts, authentication controls, and access relationships across key systems.
- Analysis of high-risk access paths and privilege relationships
- Identification of over-permissioned accounts and weak access boundaries
- Review of privilege escalation and lateral movement opportunities
- Practical recommendations to reduce identity-based exposure
AI Readiness & Governance
Review how AI tools, copilots, and third-party models interact with your data, systems, and permissions before broader adoption. This includes data access, governance controls , rigorous vendor risk assessment , and the risk of unintended access or leakage.
- Review of AI data access, permissions, and control boundaries
- Identification of exposure, leakage, and vendor-related risks
- Assessment of governance gaps affecting safe deployment
- Practical recommendations aligned to security and compliance needs
Sensitive Data Exposure
Review how sensitive data is exposed across cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and OneDrive. This includes file sharing, permissions, inherited access, and configurations that can lead to unnecessary visibility or uncontrolled exposure.
- Identification of exposed, overshared, or publicly accessible data
- Review of sharing links, permissions, and inherited access paths
- Assessment of control gaps affecting sensitive data visibility
- Practical recommendations to reduce data exposure risk
Governance and Risk
Review security governance, control maturity, vendor dependencies, and operational risk where weak decisions, unclear ownership, or control gaps can create regulatory, contractual, or business exposure.
- Review of governance gaps, control maturity, and risk ownership
- Identification of vendor, platform, and dependency-related risks
- Assessment of weaknesses affecting resilience and decision-making
- Practical recommendations to strengthen oversight and reduce exposure
Advisory, Support, and Speaking
Beyond focused assessments, I provide ongoing guidance, rapid expert reviews, and high-impact educational sessions tailored to your organization’s specific risk profile.
Security Advisory
Ongoing access to expert guidance for organizations needing practical support with risk decisions, architecture reviews, and evolving security priorities.
- Guidance on security decisions and priorities
- Review of architecture and control changes
- Support for leadership and internal teams
Focused Expert Reviews
Targeted support for organizations needing a rapid second opinion or expert validation around a specific concern, initiative, or emerging risk.
- Rapid validation of risk or control decisions
- Targeted reviews of specific system findings
- Short, clearly scoped expert engagements
Speaking & Workshops
High-impact cybersecurity sessions for leadership teams and conferences. I translate complex risks into actionable insights for your audience.
- Conference keynotes and panel commentary
- Executive briefings on identity and AI risk
- Technical training and awareness workshops
How the Process Works
Every engagement follows a clear process designed to identify meaningful risk, deliver practical findings, and support next steps.
Discovery & Scope Definition
We begin by reviewing your environment, operating context, and current concerns to define the scope of the engagement around the areas with the highest potential risk and impact.
- Review systems, business context, and security priorities
- Define the most relevant risk areas to assess
- Establish a clear engagement scope and outcome
Assessment & Analysis
We assess the relevant identity, access, data, cloud, AI, governance, and configuration risks across the systems in scope to identify realistic attack paths, weaknesses, and control gaps.
- Review identity, permissions, access paths, and exposure points
- Identify realistic risks tied to compromise, leakage, or control failure
- Prioritize findings based on business and operational impact
Findings & Recommendations
You receive a clear summary of the issues identified, along with prioritized recommendations to reduce risk and improve control. The goal is actionable guidance, not oversized reports or vague observations.
- Clear, prioritized findings tied to real risk
- Practical steps to reduce exposure and strengthen controls
- Guidance you can act on immediately
Optional Follow-On Support
Where needed, the engagement can continue into remediation guidance, governance improvement, or follow-on advisory support once the assessment is complete.
- Optional support for remediation and implementation
- Governance and control improvement where further work is needed
- A clear progression from assessment to action
Clear Priorities
Understand what matters most first instead of losing time in vague findings, broad review work, oversized reports and over-priced projects.
- Findings prioritized by business and operational impact
- Clear separation between critical and lower-priority issues
- Recommendations structured to support faster decisions
Critical Environments
For organizations where sensitive data, compliance pressure, or operational dependence increase the cost of weak security decisions.
- Identity, access, sharing, and cloud exposure in higher-stakes settings
- Relevant to regulated sectors, data sensitivity, and contractual risk
- Reflects current exposure from cloud use, AI, and control gaps
Start with a Focused Security Assessment
Built for organizations operating in regulated, sensitive, or operationally critical environments where exposure needs to be identified clearly and addressed with practical next steps.
