}We work as a strategic extension of your team — combining executive-level oversight with hands-on engineering. The goal isn't a clean policy binder. It's a security and IT posture that wins enterprise deals, passes investor diligence, and scales to IPO.
Executive cybersecurity leadership without the full-time hire. Calibrated to your stage, board, and customers.
Build a privacy program that survives audits and unlocks regulated markets — Canada, EU, US.
From seed diligence to IPO. Pass enterprise security questionnaires and survive VC technical due diligence.
We don't just recommend tools — we deploy and operationalize them so they actually generate evidence on day one.
Zero-trust identity foundations with SSO, MFA, and least-privilege baked into the SDLC.
Modernize the IT stack while raising the security floor. Hands-on deployment, not slideware.
A repeatable, outcome-driven engagement model. No frameworks-for-frameworks-sake. Every deliverable maps to revenue, fundraising, or risk reduction.
We baseline your current security posture, IT operations, and privacy exposure against the frameworks and customer expectations that matter for your stage.
A prioritized 90-day to 12-month roadmap calibrated to your investor timelines, enterprise pipeline, and regulatory obligations — with clear owners, costs, and outcomes.
We deploy the tools, write the policies, and operationalize the controls. Hands-on, not handed-off. Your team owns the outcome — we accelerate it.
Ongoing fractional leadership, board reporting, vendor reviews, audit support, and incident response — calibrated to your runway and growth.
Baseline Security is led by a senior IT, cybersecurity, and privacy professional with extensive experience across IT management strategy, privacy management strategy, and cybersecurity management strategy.
The work spans the full company lifecycle — partnering with serious investors and founders to secure tech startups with technology that actually does the job — surviving fundraising rounds, enterprise security reviews, and ultimately public IPO.
Strategy, governance, and tooling all under one roof. No handoffs to a third-party implementer. No 80-page deck without a deployed control. The deliverable is a measurable security and IT posture — not paperwork.
The advisory model is built for organizations that need enterprise-ready operations and security maturity — without carrying full-time executive headcount before they're ready.
Every engagement starts with a 30-minute discovery call. We'll map your current posture against the milestone you're chasing — first enterprise customer, Series B, audit, IPO — and tell you candidly whether we're a fit.
