Cybersecurity Advisory
Hands-on cybersecurity advisory and Fractional CISO leadership.
KN Cyber helps organizations pass enterprise buyer security reviews, build product-security maturity, and run real security programs. Start with a Customer Security Review Sprint when a customer has already sent the ask, or with a fractional CISO for the program itself.
Customer Security Review Sprint
A fixed-scope way through the review in front of you
A four-week engagement when a health plan, health system, bank, or other enterprise customer sends a security questionnaire, a contract security exhibit, or a vendor risk review. We triage it, find the gaps, draft your answers, and hand you a dated plan.
Your tool can draft the answers. We make sure they're true, defensible, and good enough to win the deal.
We sit as the expert layer on top of the compliance platform you already use, including Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, and Thoropass. We are not a replacement for those platforms. Scope is agreed in writing before work starts. Pricing is quoted by organization size. We do not publish prices.

Security leadership, and the work behind it
A team of practitioners leads the program and does the hands-on work for fintech, technology, insurance, manufacturing, and healthcare organizations.
Fractional CISO
Part-time security leadership that owns strategy, the risk register, policies, vendor risk, incident readiness, and the board and customer conversations.
Fractional CISO →02Product Security Maturity & Application Security
Application security programs, secure architecture, and API, cloud, web, and mobile testing with vulnerability validation. Penetration tests are scoped to the product and the evidence buyers ask for.
Product security →03Compliance & GRC Readiness
Risk and compliance advisory, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 implementation and readiness, HITRUST readiness, PCI DSS, and NIST SP 800-171. SOC 2 readiness typically takes 2–4 months depending on organization size. An independent firm performs the audit or certification.
Readiness support →04AI & Cloud Security
AI security assessments, AI governance questions that show up in buyer reviews, and cloud security assessment, architecture, and implementation.

How an engagement starts
- 01A 30-minute call.
Bring the customer security request, contract exhibit, audit deadline, or the program you need to build.
- 02An assessment and a dated plan.
What exists, what is missing, and who owns each item. For SOC 2, readiness typically takes 2–4 months depending on your organization's size, and a Type 2 report then adds an observation period.
- 03The work, alongside your team.
Then support after the report or deliverable.

Research & development
Applied research that sharpens client reviews
KN Cyber keeps an active research program in continuous product security assurance and AI runtime trust — APSOS™. The work is research and development, not commercial software. It sharpens how we review product security and AI features for clients.
