Who We Work With

402 InfoSec works with organizations that need senior-level security guidance but do not require a full-time security executive.

What We Do

We focus on security governance, risk management, and audit readiness — not tools, not monitoring, and not one-size-fits-all frameworks.

SOC 2 readiness and audit preparation, including evidence design and remediation tracking

Security policy and governance architecture aligned to business operations

Risk registers, POA&Ms, and control mapping (SOC 2, NIST CSF, ISO 27001)

Vendor risk assessments and customer security questionnaires

Executive-level security reporting and advisory support

How Engagements Work

Engagements are structured to provide consistent, senior-level guidance without unnecessary overhead or long-term lock-in.

All engagements are scoped to outcomes, not billable hours.

About 402 InfoSec

402 InfoSec was founded by a senior cybersecurity and governance professional with deep experience operating security programs in complex, enterprise environments.

Through both academic research and hands-on field work, a consistent gap emerged: many growing companies are expected to meet enterprise-level security, compliance, and audit requirements long before they have the internal structure or leadership to support them.

402 InfoSec was created to close that gap.

We provide pragmatic, senior-level security and GRC leadership to organizations navigating SOC 2, vendor risk, and governance maturity — without imposing unnecessary tooling, overhead, or theoretical controls that fail in real operations.

Our philosophy is simple: effective security governance is not about checklists or certifications alone. It is about designing controls, documentation, and decision-making structures that withstand scrutiny while still enabling the business to move.

All engagements are led directly by the firm's founder and principal advisor, a senior security practitioner and PhD researcher with experience supporting regulated, audit-driven environments. Clients work directly with the person accountable for the strategy, execution, and outcomes — not a rotating analyst pool.
