One team that runs your entire security program
Every Z Cyber engagement is delivered by a dedicated security team, led by a named Executive Security Advisor, working on the Glance platform. We assess, test, remediate, and operate. Every deliverable is reviewed by the advisor who leads your engagement.
Security Leadership
A named senior leader who guides your program.
Executive Security Advisor
Our flagship engagement: a named senior security executive who leads your dedicated security team, runs your program on our AI-native GRC platform, and briefs your leadership on every key decision.
- A named senior security executive who leads your program
- Security strategy and roadmap set against your business goals
- Board and executive reporting from live program data
Virtual CISO (vCISO) Services
Fractional cybersecurity leadership for organizations that need executive-level security strategy without the full-time hire.
- Security program strategy and governance framework
- Board and executive risk reporting on a recurring basis
- Security budget planning and vendor management oversight
Executive & Board Risk Advisory
Translate cybersecurity risk into business language for boards and executive teams - quantified risk analysis, strategic briefings, and governance guidance.
- Quantified cyber risk analysis tied to business impact and financial exposure
- Board-ready cybersecurity briefing materials and presentation support
- Cyber risk governance framework aligned to NACD and SEC guidance
Assess & Quantify
Know your risk, prove your controls, price your exposure.
Security Risk Assessments
We identify and score your real risk scenarios from inherent to residual, quantify them in dollars, and tie every risk to a treatment plan your board can act on.
- Signed assessment plan defining the boundary, the threat sources in scope, and the scoring scales
- Threat scenario set tailored to your environment and industry
- Inherent and residual scoring for every identified risk, with written rationale and control provenance
Controls Effectiveness Assessment
Every in-scope control is tested against evidence and receives a documented effectiveness assessment with a validity window, giving you auditor-defensible proof your controls work.
- Control scoping aligned to your framework (NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA)
- Evidence collection across telemetry, documentation, attestation, and judgment lanes
- Per-control effectiveness verdict: effective, partially effective, or ineffective
Cyber Maturity Assessment
ZCMM, Z Cyber's proprietary maturity model, anchors every maturity tier to evidence and presents results on a dual scale against NIST CSF, so your board and auditors can calibrate the claim.
- ZCMM maturity assessment across your security program
- Evidence anchoring: the artifacts behind every tier claim
- Dual-scale presentation against NIST CSF 2.0 categories
FAIR Risk Quantification
We decompose your top loss scenarios using the FAIR taxonomy and express them as governed dollar-based estimates, so security investments can be weighed like any other business decision.
- Scenario selection workshop for your highest-stakes loss events
- FAIR taxonomy decomposition per scenario, with documented factor estimates
- Governed dollar-based loss exposure estimates with documented assumptions
NIST CSF Maturity Assessment
Comprehensive cybersecurity posture assessment across all six NIST CSF 2.0 core functions with maturity scoring, gap analysis, and a prioritized remediation roadmap.
- Current-state maturity assessment across all CSF 2.0 functions and categories
- Gap analysis with risk-ranked findings mapped to business impact
- Maturity scoring by category with industry benchmarking
Compliance & Privacy
Walk into your audit ready.
Cybersecurity Compliance Advisory
Expert-led compliance advisory across HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and cloud security - readiness assessments, gap analysis, and audit preparation.
- Compliance readiness assessment against target framework(s)
- Gap analysis with risk-ranked findings and remediation priorities
- Policy and procedure development aligned to compliance requirements
NIST RMF Implementation & Program Design
Structured NIST Risk Management Framework implementation for federal agencies and defense contractors - from system categorization through authorization to operate.
- System categorization documentation (FIPS 199 / CNSSI 1253)
- Control selection and tailoring aligned to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
- Security assessment documentation and evidence packages
Privacy Assessment (CCPA/CPRA)
Know what personal data you hold, where it flows, and whether your practices match your privacy notice - assessed against CCPA/CPRA and adjacent state privacy laws.
- Personal data inventory and data flow mapping
- Privacy notice and consent mechanism review against actual practice
- Data subject request (DSR) process evaluation with timing analysis
Run & Monitor
The program work between the assessments.
Third-Party Risk Management
We run your vendor risk program end to end: portfolio scoring from inherent to residual, questionnaires vendors actually complete, and evidence reviewed on every cycle.
- Vendor inventory and inherent risk tiering across the portfolio
- Outbound security questionnaires with a vendor portal that requires no vendor accounts
- Evidence review of SOC 2 reports, ISO certificates, and trust centers
Outside-In Threat Advisory
See yourself the way attackers, insurers, and your customers' security teams already do - continuously monitored exposure, interpreted by a senior advisor instead of a raw feed.
- Continuous outside-in monitoring of your external attack surface
- Security rating with industry benchmark and change tracking
- Findings triaged by severity and exploitability, tracked to closure
Security Policy Program
Policies that hold up: written for how you actually operate, mapped to your controls, scanned for gaps and conflicts, and refreshed before an auditor finds the stale one.
- Policy library assessment: what exists, what conflicts, what is missing
- Policy drafting and tailoring workshops with your stakeholders
- Control and framework mapping for every policy
Application Standards Testing
Your application's security controls tested against a defined standard - authentication, access control, data handling, logging - with findings a development team can act on.
- Standards scoping matched to your architecture and customer requirements
- Control-by-control evaluation across the agreed standard
- Severity-ranked findings with engineering-level remediation guidance
AI Governance
Govern AI adoption without slowing it down.
