Fractional CISO · Defense Contractors · Law Firms · SMBs
Most organizations don't need a full-time CISO. They need the judgment, the program architecture, and the executive presence — on a retainer that matches where they actually are. That's what Cyber Control Group provides.
What We Do
You have an IT team, maybe an MSP, maybe a compliance checklist — but no one in the room whose job it is to think about security at the executive level. No one owns your risk posture. No one is watching the program as a whole. And if something goes wrong, or a contract requires it, that gap becomes visible fast.
Cyber Control Group fills that gap. We provide fractional CISO advisory on retainer — giving your organization executive-level security leadership, a structured program, and someone who can speak to auditors, your board, your clients, and your regulator. We work alongside your existing IT team or MSP, not in place of them.
Our practice is anchored in the Defense Industrial Base, with deep vertical experience in law firms and professional services. We understand the compliance frameworks, the client-driven pressures, and the operational realities these organizations face.
Services
The anchor engagement. Ongoing strategic security leadership on retainer — security program ownership, risk management, policy frameworks, vendor oversight, board and executive reporting, and a single point of accountability for your security posture. Available at tiered retainer levels scaled to your organization's size and needs.
End-to-end CMMC Level 2 readiness support for defense contractors — gap assessments, System Security Plan development, POAM management, evidence preparation, and remediation guidance aligned to NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012. Led by a credentialed CCA who has worked both sides of the assessment process.
Building a security program from the ground up, or inheriting one that was never properly structured. Policy frameworks, risk assessment, incident response planning, and governance aligned to NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls, and ISO 27001 — built to withstand audit, client scrutiny, and cyber insurance underwriting.
Most organizations are already using AI tools — often without policy, oversight, or visibility into the exposure. We help you get ahead of it: acceptable use policies, approved tools governance, shadow AI assessment, and alignment to NIST AI RMF. Especially relevant for defense contractors where AI use in CUI environments carries specific risk.
Purpose-built for the legal industry. Client confidentiality obligations, ABA Model Rules 1.1 and 1.6 alignment, cyber insurance readiness, and managing the client-driven security scrutiny that is increasingly standard in corporate legal work. Security that protects your clients' trust and your firm's reputation.
For organizations that need more than advisory, we offer structured tiers that layer MSSP services and compliance program management onto the fractional CISO retainer — SOC/SIEM, endpoint protection, threat detection, and compliance workflow support, sourced through vetted partners and managed under one advisory relationship.
Who We Serve
Your CMMC assessment window is approaching. Your SSP is incomplete, your POA&M is a spreadsheet, and no one on your team owns NIST SP 800-171 end to end. We provide the fractional CISO leadership and CMMC readiness support to close that gap — without adding a full-time headcount you don't need after the assessment.
Your clients are asking about your security program. Your cyber insurance renewal is coming up. A breach at a peer firm just made the news. You have IT support, but no one thinking about confidentiality risk, data governance, or ABA obligations at a program level. We provide that security leadership — tailored to how law firms actually operate.
You've outgrown "IT handles security" but you're not ready to hire a $250K CISO. Your board wants a risk report. A client is asking for your security policies. A vendor questionnaire landed on your desk. We give you the executive security leadership, the program structure, and the documentation — at a retainer that fits where you actually are.
Why Cyber Control Group
A Navy veteran and former VP of Information Security who has led organizations through CMMC Level 2, ISO 27001, and SOX ITGC simultaneously. The kind of experience that lets you make the right call under pressure — not just run a framework checklist.
CCG's principal holds both CMMC CCA and CCP credentials and has worked assessments from the assessor side. When we prepare a defense contractor for CMMC, we build readiness that will hold up under scrutiny — because we understand what scrutiny actually looks like.
CISSP, CISM, CRISC, and AAISM-credentialed — but grounded in security operations, not just governance. We can evaluate your stack, your architecture, and your detection capability. When your team pushes back on a security recommendation, we can hold the technical conversation.
CCG's principal founded, scaled, and sold a cybersecurity firm before moving into executive security leadership. We understand that security has to make business sense. The program we build for you will be right-sized for where you are — and built to scale as you grow.
Credentials
Every CCG engagement is led by a CMMC Certified Assessor with a credential stack that covers risk, governance, compliance, and AI security — giving clients confidence that the advisory they're receiving reflects genuine expertise, not just framework familiarity.
