SPM Advisors provides fractional CISO services and security program advisory for healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and professional services firms. Advisory-only. No tool sales. No rotating staff. One accountable security leader.
Virtual advisory practice — serving organizations nationwide
30 minutes. No obligation. You’ll walk away with a written summary of your top risks — whether you hire us or not.
The cybersecurity advisory market is consolidating. Optiv sold its consulting division. Secureworks was absorbed. The Big 4 are cutting advisory headcount and replacing consultants with AI delivery platforms. Organizations that relied on those relationships are actively looking for an alternative — a firm that will stay accountable for outcomes, pick up the phone, and speak plainly about risk.
That is what SPM Advisors is built to do.
Here’s exactly what working with us looks like from day one.
We identify exactly what’s exposed — vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and real-world threats — in plain language you can act on.
We build your security program — policies, governance, vendor oversight, and documentation. Then we own the accountability for how it performs.
We keep you prepared for audits, regulatory reviews, and insurance renewals — so regulators, insurers, and partners are never a surprise.
Leadership Credentials & Background
Security-only. Strategy-first. Accountable for outcomes — not just delivering a tool and moving on.
Most security vendors hand you a product and disappear. We build a security program around your organization, stay accountable for how it performs, and translate risk into language your leadership team can actually act on. That’s what advisory looks like in practice.
Our team brings 20+ years of hands-on cybersecurity experience across military service, government operations, and private sector consulting — including counter-intelligence and digital forensics. That depth of real-world experience is what every client gets direct access to.
We’ve supported businesses under HIPAA, PCI, IRS Safeguards, and other regulatory frameworks — so compliance isn’t an afterthought, it’s built in from day one.
You'll call us before signing a technology contract, before responding to an audit, and before making a security hire. That's the relationship we build — strategic counsel available when it counts, not just a tool that runs in the background.
We do. Security is not a line item on a menu that also includes help desk tickets, hardware procurement, and network refreshes. It is the entire practice. In 2026, that distinction matters more than it ever has — attackers are now using AI to move faster, adapt mid-attack, and bypass tools that worked fine two years ago. A generalist IT provider cannot keep pace with that. A security-only practice can.
Advisory-led security — strategy first, tools second, accountability throughout
We serve as your organization’s security executive — attending leadership meetings, advising the board, building your security program, and making decisions you’d otherwise make alone.
We build and maintain the compliance infrastructure your organization needs — HIPAA, IRS Safeguards, NIST, and privacy governance — without the complexity of managing it in-house.
We help you understand, reduce, and recover from risk — with continuity plans, incident response frameworks, and insider risk programs that work in practice, not just on paper.
If your organization handles sensitive data, faces compliance requirements, or lacks a dedicated security leader — you’re exactly who we work with.
Common clients include
Our services are designed to scale with your organization. Most clients start with a baseline assessment and expand as their program matures — with engagement models tailored to your size, risk posture, and compliance requirements.
For organizations that need a documented security baseline. We conduct a gap analysis, develop access control and patch management policies, design a security awareness program, and produce the written documentation your regulators, insurers, and auditors will ask to see.
For businesses in healthcare, finance, or other regulated industries that need to satisfy auditors, insurers, and regulators. We build your security program around your specific compliance requirements and produce the documentation to back it up.
For businesses that need more than monitoring — you need a security partner who knows your environment, watches for internal risks, and sits alongside leadership when it matters. Built for businesses where a breach would carry serious operational or legal weight.
Real feedback from the organizations and security leaders we work with.
For IT Providers, Consultants & Professional Service Firms
If your clients need security expertise you don't provide in-house, we work alongside firms like yours as a specialist resource — not a competitor.

We do not sell security tools on commission.
When we recommend technology, it is because it fits your risk profile and budget — not because we have a reseller agreement. That independence is rare. It is also why our clients trust our advice.
