Highland Security Consulting provides experienced, on-demand CISO-level guidance to protect your business, satisfy compliance requirements, and build a security program that scales with you.
Every engagement is scoped to your specific risk landscape, compliance obligations, and growth trajectory.
Development of security policies, standards, and procedures aligned to your industry requirements. From acceptable use to incident response — built for real-world application, not shelf-ware.
Preparation for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and regulatory examinations. We identify gaps, build remediation roadmaps, and guide you through the entire audit lifecycle.
Vendor-neutral assessment of security tools and platforms. We evaluate your current stack, identify redundancies and gaps, and recommend solutions that fit your budget and risk profile.
Architectural planning and phased deployment roadmaps for new security infrastructure. We manage the transition so your team can focus on operations without disruption.
Thorough identification and quantification of organizational risk. We map threats to your specific business context and deliver prioritized mitigation strategies your board can act on.
Customized training programs and phishing simulations for your workforce. We build a security-conscious culture from the ground up with measurable outcomes and ongoing reinforcement.
A full-time CISO commands $250K–$400K in total compensation. Most growing businesses need the expertise but not the overhead.
Access seasoned security leadership at a fraction of a full-time hire. Scale engagement hours up or down as your needs evolve — no long-term employment contracts.
We translate technical risk into business language. Your executive team and board receive clear, actionable reporting that informs decision-making without the jargon.
No commissions. No partnerships. No bias. Our recommendations are driven exclusively by what is right for your environment, risk posture, and budget.
We integrate with your existing team quickly. Most engagements produce a prioritized security roadmap within the first 30 days, with measurable progress by 90.
Working across multiple organizations gives us pattern recognition that a single-company CISO simply cannot match. We bring proven playbooks adapted to your context.
Dedicated engagement leads, documented processes, and regular cadence meetings ensure nothing falls through the cracks. We operate as an extension of your team.
A straightforward engagement model designed to deliver value quickly and build momentum over time.
A 30-minute conversation to understand your business, current security posture, compliance obligations, and goals.
We conduct a thorough review of your existing controls, policies, infrastructure, and risk landscape.
You receive a prioritized, actionable security roadmap with clear milestones, resource requirements, and timelines.
