Persona · CISO

A defensible posture your board can read.

Risk that's trended, prioritized by exploitability and business impact, and mapped to the frameworks your audit committee actually asks about — across AI-native and traditional supply chain risk.

What your week looks like today.

Quarterly board pack assembly takes a week and you're still answering follow-ups for the next two.

Auditors ask the same questions every cycle, AppSec answers them every cycle, nothing compounds.

A new zero-day drops and you can't tell the CEO whether you're exposed for at least four hours.

Vendor risk lives in a spreadsheet that ages out the moment your supplier list changes.

Your AppSec team is buying a sixth tool. Procurement wants you to consolidate; engineering wants the new shiny.

Agents and AI features are launching in product without a defensible governance narrative.
