Risk Advisory & vCISO

Unbiased. Experienced.

Cybersecurity Risk Advisory.

It's been said you should have a doctor, a lawyer, and a forgiving priest.
Nowadays, we should add a cybersecurity expert.
Our Approach

With competing priorities and resources, technology and cybersecurity should be considered in the broad context of business operations.

We begin with an assessment to understand the business holistically and provide you immediate value with where things stand today along with a tailored roadmap and strategy towards resilience.

We then take on the the heavy lift of making sure the right things are done to close gaps, build processes that work, and provide support for technology, compliance, and risk decisions.

Regulatory Expertise

[Adversis] was incredibly helpful in conducting a security assessment for our new Saas product. Easy to work with, quick to do the assessment, and delivered a report that was actionable without a bunch of fluff.
Mike Julian
CEO, The Duckbill Group
Partnering with Adversis was one of my firm's best business decisions. The Adversis team did a fantastic job fortifying our cybersecurity defenses and guiding us through the complex world of cybersecurity with ease and clarity. The team was highly skilled, professional, and simply fun to work with. The process they used is impeccable. They took the time to learn about my business and equipped my team with the knowledge of how to keep our new security policies in practice. My firm is small, but they really made my team feel like we got the service and quality of a Fortune 500 company.

I've read through a few pentest reports and found yours better-written and containing a lot less fluff than average. It was also a lot more reasonable its severity assessment than ones I've read in the past: you highlighted legitimate concerns without blowing anything out of proportion. A+ would read again.

We anticipated a standard penetration test—but what we received went far beyond that. Noah and the Adversis team became trusted advisors, bridging a critical knowledge gap in our organization. Their hands-on guidance through CIS v8 and GDPR alignment was instrumental. What would have taken us years to accomplish internally was achieved in months through their structured, transparent, and supportive approach.
