Get Your Arms Around Risk. Build The Strategy. Accelerate Program Maturity.

Security program advisory that reduces risk and cost

Program Advisory Services help you understand where your security program stands, which gaps create the most risk, and what to improve next. We assess your strategy, benchmark maturity against relevant standards, and provide a clear roadmap aligned to best practices and compliance requirements.

Our engagements help you develop a stronger security strategy, build a practical plan to reduce risk and control costs, and achieve measurable, reportable improvements in program maturity, whether you are building a program from the ground up, recovering from an incident, or preparing for an audit.

Assess your security posture

Get a fast, expert read on where your security program stands, with strengths, gaps, and a prioritized path forward you can act on right away.

See exactly how your program measures up to the frameworks that matter, with clear findings and remediation priorities for audits and board reporting.

▸ Build your security strategy

Get a clear view of your security posture

Assess your security program through expert-led workshops. Beazley Security advisors review your current state against industry best practices, identify key strengths and gaps, and deliver a prioritized roadmap for where to invest next. Keep advancing your security program with optional virtual check-ins, roadmap updates, and KPI tracking.

Map your program against security and compliance standards

Align your program with the frameworks and regulations that matter to your business, including ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2, CMMC, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and DORA, and emerging standards like EASA and ISO 42001 for AI. Close gaps in security controls, and get a concise summary of findings for audit prep, internal planning, and board reporting.

Work with senior security leadership as part of your strategy

Rely on experienced security leadership without hiring a full-time CISO. Beazley Security provides virtual, fractional, and outsourced CISO services (CISO-as-a-service), giving you a senior advisor who can help build your security foundation, prioritize risks, define strategy, and report progress to leadership or the board.

Define a clear plan for cyber incidents

Build a practical incident response plan with custom IR plans, playbooks, and scenario-based play cards for ransomware, business email compromise, data theft, and supply chain attacks. Our team can also help you plan how the business will continue operating during a major disruption and identify which systems, teams, and processes would cause the most damage if they went down.

Improve security awareness across every team

Give teams the confidence to recognize and respond to the attacks they are most likely to face, from phishing and social engineering to poor password habits, risky device use, and AI-driven threats like deepfake executive calls. Beazley Security adapts each awareness training to your environment, so your team learns what to watch for, how to respond, and how to meaningfully reduce risk.

Reduce security spend without increasing risk

Identify opportunities to reduce security spend by reviewing overlapping tools, redundant licenses, underused platforms, and disconnected data feeds. Get a clear view of what you own, where consolidation makes sense, and how to reduce cost without creating new security gaps.
