Your enterprise deals shouldn't stall in security procurement.

When B2B SaaS companies start moving upmarket, security suddenly shifts from a background checklist item to a revenue blocker:

Learn more
  • Stalled Enterprise Deals
    A six-figure contract sits frozen because the buyer's procurement team dropped a 300-question SIG Lite questionnaire on your sales reps.

  • CTO Context Switching
    Your technical co-founder or VP of Engineering is losing 15–20 hours a week answering questions about encryption keys and access reviews instead of building product.

  • Idle Compliance Platforms
    You purchased Vanta or Drata to get audit-ready, but the tool is alerting on dozens of failing tests and nobody has the bandwidth to fix them.

  • Unbudgeted Full-Time Hires
    You don't need a $350k/year executive CISO with an entourage of analysts. You need execution right now to clear deals and pass audits.

Executive security ownership. Zero full-time overhead.

I operate as your embedded, on-demand security and compliance partner. Fully integrated into your Slack, working directly with sales and engineering to clear friction.

Security Deal Desk

I eliminate sales bottlenecks by completing custom vendor questionnaires within 48 to 72 hours and joining technical calls with buyer security teams to defend your architecture. To speed up future cycles, I create self-serve trust centers and security whitepapers that answer buyer requirements before they ask.

Compliance Management

Software like Vanta or Drata won't fix failing tests on its own. I run your compliance platform end-to-end—clearing failing alerts, tracking vulnerability SLAs, managing quarterly access reviews, and implementing lean security policies that fit fast cloud environments without bogging down engineers.

Audit Quarterback

I serve as the direct contact for external CPA auditors during SOC 2 and ISO 27001 engagements. By managing control validation, scoping, and evidence collection myself, I protect your leadership from audit fatigue and deliver a clean report with minimal engineering interruption.

Security built for modern SaaS velocity.

I spent years operating inside complex, highly regulated enterprise environments and high-growth engineering teams.Most security advisors write lengthy risk matrices that paralyze your product roadmap. I do the opposite: I treat security as a sales enablement function. My job is to take the technical and compliance burden off your founders' plates, build legitimate customer trust, and help your sales team cross the finish line faster.
