Specialized Engagements For Your Needs
Each engagement is scoped to your actual situation — not a template sold to every client. We'll tell you upfront what you need, what you don't, and what it costs.
Cyber Readiness Evaluation
Not sure where you stand? We assess your current security posture against an industry baseline — aligned with CIS Controls and SOC 2 fundamentals. You'll walk away with a clear, prioritized report of gaps and what to fix first. No jargon. No fluff. Just an honest picture of your cyber readiness.
Security Team Building
Need to build a real security function — SOC, IR, or NOC team — but don't know where to start? We design the org structure, define the roles, recommend the tool stack, and build the hiring roadmap. From a single analyst to a full security program. Delivered as a complete design package your leadership can act on.
- SOC / IR / NOC team design
- Role definitions and job descriptions
- Tool stack recommendations
- Process and playbook framework
- Phased hiring roadmap (6–18 months)
Security Policy Development
Need written policies for cyber insurance, enterprise customers, or internal governance? We develop acceptable use, incident response, remote work, AI use policy, and more — written for your actual business, not copied from a template.
What Makes Our Consulting Different
"We've operated in the environments you're trying to protect."
DoD, Fortune 500, federal agencies. Not just consulted — operated inside them.
"We train the people, we design the teams, we lead the programs."
All three capabilities under one roof. Design connects to training connects to vCISO leadership.
"We design for your actual size and budget."
Not an enterprise playbook handed to an SMB. Real recommendations for real constraints.
"We stay involved through implementation."
Advisory engagements can transition to vCISO retainer. One relationship, continuous support.
The Person Behind the Engagement
25 years in IT and cybersecurity. Lockheed Martin. U.S. Army CECOM. Fortune 500 consulting. DoD and federal sector work. When you engage Bigger IT Solutions for consulting, you're working with the person who's actually been inside the environments you're trying to protect — not a project coordinator managing a team of junior analysts.
