SKAdvisors

Fractional Security Program Lead

Security program leadership when the team needs execution, not another framework.

Built for external scrutiny

The work is designed for leadership teams that need a credible control story and fewer surprises in front of customers, assessors, auditors, and boards.

Execution, not just advice

Control mapping, remediation tracking, evidence strategy, and cross-functional coordination — the actual program work, not a report delivered and walked away from.

Security, audit, and finance in one profile

CPA, CISSP, and CISA credentials help translate control issues into decisions that security, legal, finance, and executive stakeholders can all act on.

Background

Both sides of the audit table.

Big Four professional services advisory, several years in Canadian banking doing risk and cybersecurity control testing, and in-house security program leadership at a high-growth technology company. That combination means I know what assessors look for and how programs need to hold up in regulated environments.

Security, audit, and finance credentials in one profile means I can run the program work and translate risk for leadership, legal, and board stakeholders — without a separate layer in between.

Service

One service. Clear scope. Real execution.

Companies with SOC 2 backlog, customer security requirements, audit timelines, or M&A readiness pressure need someone who can run the program — not just advise on it.
