exCISO — Ex-CISO Consultancy
Security Advice from Those Who Have Held the Risk.
A network of former CISOs providing pragmatic, battle-tested cyber counsel to the Board. Not theory. Not playbooks. Operational reality.
The Difference
We've sat in the chair. We know what keeps you up at night.
Traditional Consultancies

Theoretical frameworks
Generic methodologies that rarely survive first contact with reality.
-
Playbook-driven
Cookie-cutter solutions that miss your organization's unique context.
-
Junior staff delivery
Sold by partners, executed by analysts fresh from certification boot camps.
