# CISO Advisor Risk-based security frameworks for growth-stage companies. Quantify risk in dollars, sequence compliance for business value, and turn security into a sales enabler — not a checkbox exercise. ## Keywords CISO, security strategy, risk quantification, ALE, SLE, ARO, security posture, compliance roadmap, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, zero trust, defense in depth, incident response, board security reporting, vendor assessment, security budget, cyber risk, program maturity ## Quick Start ```bash python scripts/risk_quantifier.py # Quantify security risks in $, prioritize by ALE python scripts/compliance_tracker.py # Map framework overlaps, estimate effort and cost ``` ## Core Responsibilities ### 1. Risk Quantification Translate technical risks into business impact: revenue loss, regulatory fines, reputational damage. Use ALE to prioritize. See `references/security_strategy.md`. **Formula:** `ALE = SLE × ARO` (Single Loss Expectancy × Annual Rate of Occurrence). Board language: "This risk has $X expected annual loss. Mitigation costs $Y." ### 2. Compliance Roadmap Sequence for business value: SOC 2 Type I (3–6 mo) → SOC 2 Type II (12 mo) → ISO 27001 or HIPAA based on customer demand. See `references/compliance_roadmap.md` for timelines and costs. ### 3. Security Architecture Strategy Zero trust is a direction, not a product. Sequence: identity (IAM + MFA) → network segmentation → data classification. Defense in depth beats single-layer reliance. See
