// independent advisor · AI security & enterprise readiness

The product is ready. The security review is what's holding up the deal.

I help AI startups get through enterprise security and procurement reviews — security questionnaires, SOC 2 and ISO expectations, data protection, and AI governance — so your biggest deals stop stalling and start closing.

Where the deal gets stuck

Your team built something enterprises want. Then their security team sends a long vendor assessment, asks about SOC 2 and data handling, and now wants to know how your models are governed. The deal goes quiet for weeks. Most founders are strong on the product and unprepared for this part — and that gap is exactly where deals slip. The good news: it's fixable, and faster than you'd think.

// what i do

Three ways to work together

01 · assess

Readiness Assessment

A fixed-scope review of where you stand against what enterprise buyers actually check. You get a clear gap report and a prioritized roadmap. One to two weeks.

02 · fix

Gap Remediation

Fixed-fee help closing the gaps that matter most — policies, controls, evidence, and the answers reviewers want to see before they sign off.

03 · support

Fractional Advisor

Ongoing help through a live deal or your first enterprise reviews. Your security and privacy lead, without a full-time hire.

// who it's for

AI and SaaS startups, Series A onward, in or near an enterprise deal.

I focus on software companies — not industrial or operational-technology environments. If a big customer's security team is standing between you and a signature, that's where I help.

// why me

I've spent years on the other side of these reviews.

So I know what a reviewer is really looking for — and what makes them say yes.
