Offensive Guardian

Your security partner, not a rotating vendor.

Most security consultancies hand you a report and disappear. Offensive Guardian is built around retainers and long-term partnerships — I embed into your security journey, bring both red and blue team experience, and stick around to make sure things actually improve.

Why a retainer beats a one-off

A single pentest gives you a snapshot. A retainer gives you a partner who knows your environment, tracks your progress, and adapts testing to your evolving risk landscape. I lead every engagement personally — no bait-and-switch, no junior subcontractors. Same person, building context over time.

Red + blue under one roof

I've spent years on both sides — breaking into environments and helping defend them. That dual perspective means I don't just find problems; I help you build the detection, response, and resilience to handle them. The same skills I teach at SANS SEC565 and SEC699, applied directly to your organization.

Security Retainers

Ongoing security partnerships that pair offensive testing with strategic advisory. One relationship, continuous improvement, no re-onboarding.

  • Recurring penetration testing with remediation tracking across cycles
  • Continuous vCISO advisory and security roadmap ownership
  • Red team and purple team exercises scheduled around your risk calendar
  • Incident response planning, tabletop exercises, and readiness reviews
  • Maturity progress reporting and executive dashboards
  • Priority access and faster turnaround vs. one-off engagements

Best for: Organizations that want a dedicated security partner who knows their environment inside out — not a different consultant every quarter.

Red Team & Adversary Simulation

Full-scope adversary simulation that tests your detection, response, and resilience — best as a recurring engagement so you can measure real improvement.

  • End-to-end adversary emulation (initial access through objectives)
  • Custom C2 infrastructure and tradecraft
  • Phishing & social engineering campaigns
  • Purple team exercises working side-by-side with your blue team
  • MITRE ATT&CK-mapped reporting with detection gap analysis

Best for: Security teams that want to validate and sharpen their defenses over time, not just get a single snapshot.

vCISO & Security Advisory

Fractional CISO services for organizations that need senior security leadership without the full-time hire. I bring both offensive and defensive perspective.

  • Security program development and maturity assessment
  • Risk management and security roadmap creation
  • Compliance guidance (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS2)
  • Vendor and tool evaluation from someone who has broken and built them
  • Board and executive reporting

Best for: SMBs and scaling companies that need a security leader who understands both the attacker and defender side.

Penetration Testing

Web, API, cloud, and internal network testing with actionable remediation. Available standalone, but most valuable as part of a retainer.

  • Web application & API testing
  • Cloud infrastructure review (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Internal network & Active Directory assessments
  • Risk-ranked findings with a practical remediation roadmap

Best for: Organizations needing a thorough assessment — or a first engagement before committing to a longer partnership.

Framework

Security maturity model

Where are you now? Where should you be?

1

Reactive

No formal security program. Ad-hoc responses to incidents and compliance pressure.

2

Aware

Basic policies in place. Occasional assessments. Security is acknowledged but not strategic.

3

Managed

Documented processes. Regular testing. Defined roles. Security is operational but not yet proactive.

4

Proactive

Threat intelligence. Continuous monitoring. Detection capability. Red team validation.

5

Resilient

Adaptive defenses. Threat hunting. Mature DevSecOps. Adversary simulation as standard practice.

Let's talk partnership

If you're looking for a long-term security partner rather than a vendor you have to re-onboard every quarter, let's have a conversation. No sales pitch — just a straightforward discussion about where you are and where you want to be.
