Build a practical, right-sized risk management program
Forget the overcomplicated frameworks. We show you how to identify and prioritize risks without the bureaucracy, craft a minimum viable risk register, and score risks consistently. Learn to communicate risk effectively to leadership and make smart, defensible decisions on security investments that align with your budget reality. Move from reactive measures to intentional, strategic risk oversight.
Making sense of security frameworks & governance
Feeling lost in the alphabet soup of ISO, SOC, NIST, and PCI? Our insights clarify which framework best fits your business model and what auditors truly look for. We guide growing companies on when to formalize governance, assign roles, and build a compliance roadmap that scales with agility, demystifying certification and reducing anxiety.
Third-party risk management (TPRM) without the chaos
Vendor risk is a major pain point. Discover how to build scalable TPRM processes, balance automation with manual oversight, and confidently evaluate vendor controls—even without being a cybersecurity expert. Our advice, supported by Wingiti’s TPRM software and assessments, helps you respond to customer due diligence requests quickly and confidently.
Incident response & policies that empower
Turn chaos into learning with our guidance on structuring an incident response plan and crafting 'good' documentation. Learn how to run post-mortems that lead to real improvement and communicate incidents effectively. We also help you write policies and SOPs that people actually follow, reflecting real operations and building governance maturity without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Cybersecurity awareness & due diligence confidence
Your employees are your strongest defense. We offer helpful topics on training staff to recognize phishing and social engineering, fostering a culture of security without fear, and bridging the gap between technical and non-technical teams. Furthermore, prepare for customer or investor due diligence with strategies to build reusable packets and answer tough questions honestly, securing those high-value deals.
