Cybersecurity Consulting & Risk Assessment
Every Apogee engagement is scoped from four services: assessment, strategy, governance design, and sustained engagement. Consulting and risk assessment is where most clients meet the first two. The assessment produces a structured, evidence-based read of where you stand, ranked by business impact rather than checklist order. The strategy closes the distance between where the assessment found you and where the consequence you carry says you need to be: sequenced, costed, and owned.
The work is delivered by practitioners who have carried this risk inside federal agencies and the Fortune 500, in language a board can act on. Findings name owners and dates, not themes.
The engagement includes
- A structured assessment of your security program against NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-53, CMMC, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 as relevant, ranked by business impact
- A threat and exposure read specific to your operations, not a generic industry profile
- A prioritized remediation strategy: sequenced, costed, and assigned to named owners
- Board and executive briefing material that survives scrutiny
- A defined gate at which progress is measured and the engagement is renewed, rescoped, or concluded
Discretion is a working condition, not a courtesy. Sensitive findings are protected before, during, and after the assessment, and are shared only with the people you authorize.
The boundary, stated plainly. Apogee assesses, designs, and governs. We do not sell implementation as standalone capacity, and an assessment is never a pretext for selling you tools. If remediation calls for hands, we help you scope, select, and govern them.
Start with a briefing: forty-five minutes with a senior advisor, and a straight answer on where your risk actually sits.
Who it's for
Executive teams and boards seeking an evidence-based assessment and a prioritized risk strategy.
The problem
A checklist does not establish which exposures matter most to operations or who is responsible for closing them.
What we deliver
A framework-based assessment, operations-specific exposure analysis, prioritized remediation strategy, executive briefing material, and a defined progress review.
How an engagement runs
- Assessment. Risk posture measured against a framework, with documented gaps and prioritized findings.
- Strategy. A multi-year risk roadmap with sequencing, resourcing, and decision gates. Founder-led.
- Governance Design. The structures, policies, roles, and reporting by which risk is governed going forward.
- Sustained Engagement. Fractional risk and compliance leadership in renewable six-month intervals, with execution included.
Frameworks and standards
Apogee works across NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-53, CMMC, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, governed within the Nexus of Risk and grounded in COSO ERM and ISO 31000.
