Security Leadership Across Every Dimension
Powers Cyber embeds as your fractional CISO — delivering the full breadth of executive security leadership your organization needs to operate confidently in a complex threat environment.
AI Governance & Security
Govern AI before it governs you.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how financial services, healthcare, and professional services firms operate — and it is introducing risk at a pace that most security programs are not equipped to manage. Powers Cyber helps organizations establish the governance frameworks, risk controls, and security architecture needed to adopt AI responsibly.
What's Included
- AI risk assessment and model inventory
- AI policy and acceptable use frameworks
- Third-party AI vendor due diligence
- Regulatory alignment (SEC, HIPAA, emerging AI rules)
- AI incident response integration
- Ongoing AI risk monitoring programs
A defensible AI governance posture that satisfies regulators, protects sensitive data, and enables confident AI adoption.
Incident Response Planning
Precision when it matters most.
When a breach occurs, organizations that have rehearsed their response contain incidents faster, communicate more effectively, and recover with less damage. Powers Cyber builds and tests incident response programs that transform a chaotic event into a managed process.
What's Included
- Incident response plan development and documentation
- Tabletop exercises and breach simulations
- Playbooks for ransomware, data breach, and insider threat
- Regulatory notification procedures (SEC, HIPAA, state laws)
- Forensic readiness and evidence preservation
- Post-incident review and lessons learned
A tested, board-approved incident response capability that reduces breach impact and satisfies regulatory notification requirements.
Vendor Management
Your security is only as strong as your weakest vendor.
Third-party risk is one of the most significant and undermanaged exposures in regulated industries. Powers Cyber builds structured vendor risk management programs that give you visibility into your supply chain and contractual leverage to enforce security standards.
What's Included
- Third-party risk assessment framework design
- Vendor security questionnaire programs
- Critical vendor tiering and continuous monitoring
- Contract security requirements and SLA review
- SOC 2 and security attestation review
- Vendor incident notification and response coordination
A scalable vendor risk program that identifies exposures before they become breaches and satisfies auditor and regulator expectations.
Board & Executive Advisory
Security intelligence at the highest level.
Boards and executive teams are increasingly accountable for cybersecurity — yet most lack the technical fluency to ask the right questions. Powers Cyber bridges that gap, translating complex security posture into the language of risk, governance, and business strategy.
What's Included
- Board-ready security reporting and dashboards
- Executive security briefings and risk presentations
- SEC cybersecurity disclosure support
- Cyber risk quantification for board consumption
- Security committee charter and governance design
- M&A cybersecurity due diligence advisory
A board that understands its cyber risk exposure, fulfills its governance obligations, and makes informed security investment decisions.
Compliance Assurance
Audit-ready. Always.
Regulatory requirements for cybersecurity are expanding across every industry Powers Cyber serves. We build compliance programs that are structured, defensible, and designed to scale — so your organization is never caught unprepared by an audit or regulatory inquiry.
What's Included
- SOC 2 Type I and Type II readiness
- HIPAA Security Rule compliance programs
- SEC cybersecurity rule implementation
- NIST CSF and CIS Controls alignment
- Policy and procedure library development
- Audit support and examiner liaison
A compliance program that satisfies auditors, regulators, and clients — and serves as a foundation for continuous security improvement.
Risk & Security Strategies
Strategy that aligns security to business.
Security programs that operate in isolation from business strategy create friction without value. Powers Cyber develops enterprise security strategies that are grounded in your risk appetite, aligned to your business objectives, and built to evolve as your organization grows.
What's Included
- Security program maturity assessment
- Multi-year security roadmap development
- Risk appetite definition and quantification
- Security architecture review and strategy
- Budget prioritization and investment planning
- Security metrics and KPI frameworks
A security strategy that earns executive buy-in, guides investment decisions, and measurably reduces organizational risk over time.
