Build the right security team.
A structured evaluation of what your security team can actually do. We find the gaps, surface key-person risk, and define how your team should evolve to support your business and risk profile.
- Focus
- Capabilities, not job titles
- Surfaces
- Key-person dependencies
- Prioritized by
- Your risk profile
- You leave with
- A capability-first hiring roadmap
What makes it different
Most assess technology. Few assess people.
We evaluate what your team can execute today, and what it needs to support tomorrow's program.
Capability
What gets done.
Functional capability across key domains, not a review of titles or resumes.
Risk-informed
Gaps ranked by impact.
Capabilities mapped to your risk profile and maturity goals, not an arbitrary checklist.
Forward-looking
Hire for what's next.
Instead of asking who to replace, we define what capabilities you need next.
The problem
Why security teams underperform.
Teams evolve organically, shaped by past priorities and individual skills rather than current risk or future needs.
- Misaligned structureCritical functions go uncovered.
- Hidden key-person riskCritical knowledge sits with one person, with no backup.
- One-for-one backfillingReplacing roles reinforces existing gaps.
- No workforce planNo view of where the team needs to go.
Our approach
Five steps. What gets done, not titles.
We evaluate your team across key functions, map roles to responsibilities and define a clear path forward.
- 01
Assess capabilities
Your team across the functions your program depends on.
- Governance, risk, detection and response
- Engineering, vulnerability management, identity
- Cloud and infrastructure security
- 02
Map roles to responsibilities
Who owns what, where it overlaps and where coverage is missing.
- 03
Find key-person dependencies
Single points of failure and concentrated knowledge, documented and scored.
- 04
Define future-state needs
Capabilities required to meet your business objectives and maturity goals.
- 05
Reframe hiring
A capability-first framework for smarter hiring.
- Role definitions based on program needs
- Build vs. buy vs. partner
- Structure recommendations
What you get
Skills & Capability deliverables.
Concrete artifacts you keep, not a slide deck that disappears after the readout.
- 01
Capability coverage matrix
What your team can and can't execute today.
- 02
Role-to-function mapping
Ownership, overlap and coverage gaps.
- 03
Key-person analysis
Single points of failure and the risk they create.
- 04
Gap analysis
Current versus future need, ranked by impact.
- 05
Hiring roadmap
Capability-first, with build, buy or partner options.
- 06
Structure recommendations
Optional guidance on how to organize the team.
Runs on one risk language
Scored with your methodology.
Every finding is scored the same way as the rest of your program. Already have a methodology? We use it. If not, we build it with you first, in a single workshop.
