Security Assessment & Advisory

Strategic Security Advisory for Growing Companies

We run security assessments, help you get compliant, and act as your security leadership team when you don't have one in-house. Decades of security leadership experience, on call when you need it.

What We Do

We figure out where your security gaps are, tell you which ones matter most, and help you fix them.

SA

Security Assessments

We review your policies, technical controls and operations against HIPAA, NIST CSF, SOC 2, ISO 27001 or whatever framework your customers and regulators are asking about. You get risk-rated findings, not a scan report.

  • Gap analysis against HIPAA, NIST, SOC 2, HITRUST, FedRAMP
  • Administrative, technical and operational controls review
  • Cloud infrastructure and application security review
  • Vendor and third-party risk assessment
  • Executive summary and detailed findings report

Advisory & Roadmapping

After the assessment, we build a remediation plan your team can actually follow. Each finding gets an owner, a priority and a timeline. We work with you on it, not just hand it over.

  • Prioritised remediation roadmaps
  • Security program design and maturity planning
  • Policy and procedure development
  • Security metrics and KPI frameworks
  • Board and executive reporting

vCISO Services

If you need a CISO but can't justify the full-time hire, we step in. We join your leadership team on a fractional basis, own the security function and handle everything from strategy to board reporting.

  • Security strategy and governance
  • Risk management and risk register ownership
  • Compliance program oversight
  • Security team building and mentorship
  • Stakeholder and board-level engagement

Industries We Work With

The threats and compliance expectations vary by industry. Here's where we spend most of our time.

Healthcare & Life Sciences

Patient data, HIPAA, HITRUST, state-level rules. Healthcare and biotech companies deal with some of the strictest regulatory scrutiny around. We help build security programs that hold up to it.

SaaS & Technology

Your customers are asking about SOC 2. Your enterprise prospects want to see ISO 27001. We help you get there and make sure your engineering team is building securely along the way.

Financial Services

Regulators expect a lot and so do your customers. We help fintechs and financial platforms meet the compliance bar without building a security bureaucracy.

Early & Growth-Stage Startups

You need a security program but hiring a CISO doesn't make sense yet. We help you put the right foundations in place, pass customer due diligence and look credible as you grow.

How We Work

We talk to your leadership and your technical people. We review what you have, compare it to what the frameworks expect, and tell you what to fix first and why.

  • Scoping based on your actual business and what you're worried about
  • Interviews with executives, engineers, IT, HR and ops
  • Controls measured against real framework requirements
  • Findings ranked by business impact, not just severity scores
  • Roadmaps built with your team so they actually get followed

1

Discovery & Kick-Off

We meet your team, learn how the business works, understand what you're building and where sensitive data lives. Usually starts with a day or two on-site.

2

Assessment & Analysis

We interview stakeholders, review documentation and evaluate your controls across the board. Everything gets mapped against your target framework.

3

Findings & Roadmap

We pull the findings together into a prioritised plan. Each item gets an owner, an effort estimate and a definition of done. Built collaboratively with your team.

4

Debrief & Delivery

We walk your leadership and technical teams through everything. Not a slide deck handoff. A working session where we agree on priorities and next steps together.

Why Wyvern

This kind of work comes down to who's doing it. Here's what you get with us.

Extensive Security Experience

Decades in infosec, much of that leading security teams as CISO and VP at companies from early-stage startups to large enterprises.

Hands-On Experience

We've been the first security hire and we've run large security orgs. Either way, you're working with someone who has done this before.

Clear Actionable Deliverables

Our reports are written so your team can read them and act on them. Plain language, clear priorities, no filler.

Framework Coverage

HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, FedRAMP. We've been audited against most of these ourselves and know what it takes to pass.

Low Overhead, High Impact

No account managers, no junior analysts. You talk to the person doing the work.

Long-Term Partnerships

Most of our clients stick around after the initial assessment. The longer we work together, the better we know your environment.
