Solving a specific challenge

Get a clear, confident answer to a specific security challenge, fast

The Strategy Workshop is a focused, time-boxed engagement for a defined security decision, so you leave with a clear plan and stakeholder alignment, without committing to a long engagement.

WHEN YOU NEED THIS

Is Strategy Workshop right for you?

If one or more of these apply to your situation, our Strategy Workshop service is worth a closer look:

  • You're facing a specific security decision and need to get it right, not just get an opinion
  • A board member, investor or customer has asked a pointed security question you can't confidently answer yet
  • You need a written, defensible rationale for a security decision, not just a verbal steer
  • The challenge touches multiple teams or stakeholders and needs structured input, not a hallway conversation
  • You don't need ongoing support, just clarity on this one thing, quickly

HOW IT WORKS

1

Scoping call

SCOPE

What's not included

  • Hands-on implementation or engineering changes — You leave with a plan; your team (or ours, via a separate engagement) carries out the changes.
  • Acting as your formal CISO or taking ownership of the security programme — This is focused, time-boxed input, not ongoing leadership - see Security Leadership for that.
  • Ongoing coaching or support — For regular, ongoing support instead of a single engagement, see Security Coach.

Strategy Workshop FAQs

What kind of challenges is this good for?

Anything specific enough to define in one sentence, for example choosing between SOC 2 and ISO 27001, setting an AI usage policy, deciding how to respond to a security question from a customer, or agreeing your security roadmap ahead of a board meeting.


Can we use this if we're not sure exactly what our challenge is yet?

Yes. The scoping call is designed to help pin that down. If it turns out the real issue is broader than one session can cover, we will tell you honestly and suggest a better-fitting service.


What happens if we need follow-up after the workshop?

Additional follow-up or advisory work after the workshop is available at an hourly rate, or you can move to Cyber Security Coaching or Security Leadership if you want ongoing support instead.
