Zero-trust strategy
Current-state assessment, target architecture, phased roadmap and an investment case your board can actually approve.
EXECUTIVE ADVISORY
Cybersecurity consulting and zero-trust governance
Architectural guidance from advisory directors and veteran CISOs to de-risk cloud identity and privilege migrations, framed against NIST SP 800-207 and your regulator's expectations.

HOW ENGAGEMENTS RUN
Former Big-4 advisory directors and veteran CISOs at the table
Architecture and governance guidance is led by consultants who have sat in the CISO seat or run a Big-4 identity practice — de-risking zero-trust rollouts and privilege migrations before your team commits engineering hours.
ADVISORY
ADVISORY PRACTICES
Where advisory work pays for itself
Identity architecture review
Federation topology, directory consolidation, authentication policy design and lifecycle model rationalisation.
Privilege programme design
Privileged account discovery, tiering model, vaulting strategy, session controls and just-in-time access design.
Audit and compliance readiness
Control mapping to ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA and DPDP, gap remediation planning and evidence design.
Tool selection and RFP support
Vendor-neutral evaluation matrices, proof-of-concept design, scoring facilitation and commercial negotiation input.
Programme rescue
Independent assessment of stalled identity programmes, re-baselining scope and restarting delivery with clear ownership.
SUB-SERVICE CATALOGUE
Consulting sub-services
Fixed-scope deliverables with milestone gating. Each request routes to an advisory principal.
Identity maturity assessment
Benchmarked scoring across lifecycle, authentication, governance and privilege with a prioritised gap register.
Privileged access risk assessment
Discovery of unmanaged privileged accounts, standing access and credential sprawl across the estate.
Cloud entitlement review (CIEM)
Excess permission analysis across AWS, Azure and GCP with least-privilege remediation sequencing.
SOC maturity and detection coverage
MITRE ATT&CK coverage mapping, alert quality analysis and staffing model review.
Third-party access review
Vendor and contractor access exposure, remote access control design and offboarding verification.
Compliance gap analysis
Control-by-control mapping against your applicable frameworks with an evidence-ready remediation plan.
Target-state identity architecture
Reference architecture, integration patterns and migration sequencing for a multi-year identity roadmap.
Zero-trust reference design
Policy enforcement points, device trust, segmentation and continuous verification design per NIST SP 800-207.
PAM deployment blueprint
Vault topology, high availability design, safe structure, onboarding waves and break-glass runbook design.
IGA role model design
Role mining, business role hierarchy, SOD matrix construction and certification campaign strategy.
Detection engineering strategy
Use-case backlog, data source onboarding plan, content lifecycle and tuning governance.
Identity for M&A integration
Directory merge strategy, coexistence patterns and Day-1 access continuity planning.
Policy and standards authoring
Access control policy, privileged access standard, joiner-mover-leaver procedure and exception handling.
Programme governance setup
Steering committee cadence, RAID discipline, KPI definition and executive reporting packs.
Vendor and RFP facilitation
Requirement catalogue, scoring model, POC scripts and independent evaluation facilitation.
Executive and board briefing
Risk narrative translation for non-technical stakeholders with investment prioritisation.
Architecture peer review board
Independent review of in-flight designs before build, with written findings and sign-off.
Post-implementation health check
Verification that the deployed platform matches design intent and operational readiness criteria.
COLLABORATIVE ECOSYSTEM POSITIONING
We complement prime contractors, we do not compete with them
We operate as the specialised engineering and architecture capability behind Big-4 audit houses, global systems integrators and enterprise consulting firms. We do not seek account ownership — we make sure the technical execution holds up.

ENGAGEMENT SHAPE
How a fixed-scope advisory engagement runs
Milestone gated, peer reviewed and delivered against a written statement of work.
1
Scoping call
Sixty minutes with an advisory principal to define the question, constraints and decision deadline.
2
Statement of work
Deliverables, milestones, acceptance criteria, named consultants and fixed fee, issued within three business days.
3
Discovery
Stakeholder interviews, configuration review, data collection and control walkthroughs.
4
Analysis and peer review
Findings drafted, then challenged by an independent architect before they reach you.
5
Deliverable and readout
Written report plus an executive readout session, with a prioritised and costed remediation plan.
6
Optional execution support
Where you want it, the same team transitions into delivery through staff augmentation or a managed pod.
