Core Services

Countermand Risk delivers value without the burden of full-time overhead. Whether you just need a trusted voice to answer a quick question, an experienced practitioner to evaluate a third-party solution, or a partner to lead a longer-term project, we scale to your needs — providing the same caliber of expertise as in-house staff at a fraction of the cost.

  • Get the expertise of a qualified CISO without the cost and commitment of a full-time executive. We provide ongoing leadership to help you design strategy, make informed decisions, and ensure that your security efforts align with business goals and stakeholder expectations.

  • We help you understand where your organization is most vulnerable and develop practical measures to reduce those risks. From vulnerability assessments to continuity planning, our approach focuses on ensuring your business can withstand disruptions and continue operating with confidence.

  • Whether you’re evaluating a vendor, entering a partnership, or considering an investment, independent review is essential. We conduct thorough assessments that highlight risks, verify security practices, and provide actionable insights so you can make well-informed decisions and demonstrate due care.

  • Meeting regulatory and industry requirements can be complex, especially for smaller organizations. We break down those obligations into clear steps, helping you implement controls that are both effective and defensible. Our goal is to reduce compliance burdens while strengthening trust with customers, partners, and regulators.

  • Sometimes you don’t need a project — you just need answers. We make experienced guidance available when you have questions, need a second opinion on a security tool, or want advice on a potential risk. And when bigger challenges arise, we’re equally prepared to step in and lead a deeper engagement.
