Risk Management

"How do you know what your risks are — and how do you decide which ones deserve your immediate attention?"

Effective risk management is the foundation of every mature security programme. Without a clear picture of your risk landscape, security investments are guesswork. We give you a structured, evidence-based view of where you stand.

CISO as a Service

"You need experienced security leadership — but not necessarily a full-time hire. How do you get senior CISO expertise when you need it?"

No permanent headcount cost
Immediate impact on security maturity

Ideal For

Scale-ups, mid-size enterprises, and organisations between CISO hires who need senior security leadership without the 18-month recruitment timeline.

Security Awareness

"Your people are your most targeted attack surface — but most security training is forgotten within a week. How do you build a security-conscious culture that lasts?"

The most sophisticated technical controls can be undone by a single phishing click. We design awareness programmes that change behaviour, not just tick compliance boxes.

What CL2R Advisory Delivers

Tailored security awareness training programmes (all levels)
Phishing simulation campaigns with targeted follow-up training
Executive and board-level security briefings
Security culture baseline assessments
Training content development (e-learning modules, workshops)
Measurement frameworks: knowledge tests, behavioural metrics

Security by Design

"Security is expensive when it's retrofitted. How do you build products and systems that are secure from the first line of code?"

Security by Design means embedding security thinking at every stage of your product development lifecycle — from architecture to deployment. We help engineering and product teams make security an enabler, not a blocker.

What CL2R Advisory Delivers

Threat modelling sessions (STRIDE, PASTA, LINDDUN)
Secure architecture design and review
Security requirements definition for product teams
Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) implementation
Privacy by Design integration (GDPR alignment)
DevSecOps advisory and toolchain integration

Ideal For

Technology companies, software vendors, and product teams building connected systems who need security expertise integrated into the engineering process — not bolted on at the end.

EU Regulation

"The EU regulatory landscape is changing fast. NIS2, CRA, DSA, DORA — how do you know which regulations apply to you, what they require, and what to do first?"

EU cyber regulation is complex, overlapping, and rapidly evolving. We are deep experts in the full landscape and translate legal obligations into practical security actions your team can implement.

Compliance

"You have a compliance obligation but no clear programme. Where do you start, and how do you build something sustainable — not just a one-time audit sprint?"

Security policy framework design (Information Security Policy, Acceptable Use, etc.)
Gap analysis against target frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC2, NIST)
