Enterprise security-architect judgment. The hours you need, without the cost of a CISO.
Your security advisor on call: architecture decisions, purchases without overspending, answers for enterprise clients, and direction for the plan, month by month.
The problem
Security decisions don’t wait: an enterprise client sends a 200-question questionnaire, a vendor pitches you "the definitive platform", your team debates an architecture, an auditor asks for evidence. Hiring a CISO costs USD 100K+ a year. Most months you need hours of judgment, not a full-time executive.
What's included
- Monthly direction sessions: priorities, roadmap, decisions
- Review of architecture decisions and purchases: we tell you when NOT to buy something
- Answers to security questionnaires from enterprise clients and partners
- Support through audits and client conversations
- Async availability for one-off questions
- The roadmap from your Torvex assessments, actually getting executed
How we work
- Month 1: diagnosis and plan
- Every month: sessions + async work + a brief progress report
- Quarterly: direction review with metrics
How it works

The questionnaire arrives
An enterprise customer sends you 200 security questions. No answers, no contract.

Judgment by the hour
A security architect answers it with you, based on what you actually have and without inventing controls.

Decisions
And when it’s time to choose tools, someone tells you which one you need and which one you don’t.

Frequently asked questions
Why not hire someone in-house?
When you have the volume for a full-time role, we help you hire them and hand off. Until then, you pay only for the judgment you use.
Do unused hours roll over?
Up to one month, yes. The goal is for the retainer to always give you value.
