Three moments AZEN is built for.
Every engagement starts at one of these. The job is to move you from the first column to the second.
Stalled
Your enterprise deal is stuck in a security questionnaire no one can answer.
Signed
A CISO clears the questionnaire, joins the buyer's call, and the deal closes.
Asked
The board wants to know the cyber risk, and there is no one to put in front of them.
Answered
Risk is on the table in dollars, with a roadmap the board can fund.
Looming
A customer demands SOC 2 and the team does not know where to start.
Passed
A gap assessment, a plan, and an owner turn the audit into a date on the calendar.
Most security spend solves the wrong problem.
The gap is almost never technical. It is a translation problem between what your posture actually is and what leadership believes it to be.
Spend driven by vendor fear, not real risk
Budgets get set by headlines and sales decks instead of a clear picture of your own exposure. The money lands in the wrong places.
No CISO, or a CISO the board cannot hear
Mid-market companies rarely have the security leadership their risk demands, and when they do, that person often cannot translate risk into terms a board will act on.
Compliance that satisfies auditors, not adversaries
SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST look good on paper. Passing an audit is not the same as being hard to breach, and buyers are starting to know the difference.
Every week that deal sits in security review is revenue you have already earned and cannot bill.
Security should not be the reason you lose the deal.
AZEN is the security leader who turns a stalled review into a signature, a board question into a decision, and an audit into a date on the calendar.

Lead
Ongoing security leadership on a retainer, or a scoped engagement. You work directly with Alon.
Senior security leadership, without the full-time hire.
The seniority of a full-time CISO for a fraction of the commitment, and none of the six-month search. Engagements are scoped to your risk on a call.
A practitioner, not a proposal.
Most companies engaging a security consultant get a junior team running a standardized playbook, a senior name on the proposal, and a slide deck at the end. AZEN is the opposite. Every engagement is led by Alon Nachmany, a four-time security executive who has built programs from zero, briefed boards, managed incidents, and passed audits.

Straight answers to the usual questions
How does a fractional CISO cost compare to a full-time hire?
A full-time CISO is a major salaried commitment plus a long search. An AZEN retainer scales to the hours your risk actually requires, so you get senior leadership without the full cost or the wait. Engagements are scoped on a call.
How much time does an engagement take from my team?
Less than you expect. AZEN owns the security work rather than assigning it back to you. Most retainers run 15 to 25 hours a week or less on Alon's side, and your team's time is mostly a standing check-in plus answers to specific questions.
What happens in the first 30 days?
A structured read of your real posture and risk, the fixes that matter most, and a prioritized plan. If a deal or an audit is driving the work, the revenue-blocking items come first, not last.
Are you remote or on-site?
Both. On-site work is available across South Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raton, and remote engagements run across the United States.
What industries do you work with?
Fintech, SaaS, healthcare technology, and other companies where an enterprise customer, a regulator, or an investor is examining security. The common thread is stage and pressure, not a single vertical.
How fast can you start?
Quickly. Interim coverage and urgent questionnaires can begin within days. The first call gives you a straight answer on timing for your situation.
What does a vendor questionnaire engagement look like?
You send the questionnaire and the deadline. AZEN maps it to your real posture, completes it with an evidence package, and joins the customer's security call as your CISO so the deal clears review.
