A working relationship for the person in the seat.
Confidential, structured, and paced to a role that does not pause for development activity.
Sitting, newly appointed, and incoming CISOs
- CISOs and Heads of Security in enterprise, government, or ASX-listed environments
- Leaders in the first 18 months of the role, when board exposure and isolation peak
- Senior security leaders being prepared for the CISO seat
- Sponsored engagements where the organisation wants the leader to last
The load the job does not advertise
- Decision fatigue — what you own, what you escalate, what you stop doing
- Board and executive conversations that have to land the first time
- Pace, recovery, and the habits that keep tenure viable
- Isolation of the role: few peers inside the organisation can be used as a sounding board
Who this is not for
This is not a vCISO seat, a gap assessment, a certification coach, or a substitute for technical consulting. If the need is another pair of hands on the stack, this is the wrong engagement.
What working together looks like
Cadence
Typically fortnightly sessions of 60–90 minutes, over an initial 6–12 months. Adjusted when incident load makes a slot impossible — the relationship does not punish the job.
Format
Video or in person in Perth. Between sessions: a short written recap and one or two agreed actions. No platform, no app, no group theatre unless you ask for it.
Commercials
Self-funded or employer-sponsored. Pricing on application after an introductory call. I will not quote a package before I understand the role.
