How Kris Helps:

Risk Appetite Alignment

Building security and infrastructure strategy that fits an organization’s specific risk appetite rather than applying a fixed technical template.
 

Enterprise and Technology Risk Integration

 Connecting technology risk programs to enterprise risk management so leadership sees one clear, cohesive picture of exposure and readiness.

Regulatory and Compliance Judgment

Operating in highly regulated environments where security strategy must be scalable, defensible, and aligned with evolving compliance obligations.
 

Governance and Oversight Perspective

Bringing fresh, diverse input on how organizations govern cybersecurity and infrastructure at the board and committee level.
 

Security Transformation Discipline

Leading multi-year transformation that serves business objectives, not technology change for its own sake, without compromising security posture.
 

Threat and Vulnerability Readiness

Evaluating whether security operations, architecture, and third-party risk controls can withstand real-world threats and regulatory scrutiny.
Governance & Board-Level Value

Areas of Advisory

Cybersecurity Strategy & Risk Decisioning

Aligning security roadmaps, risk frameworks, and operational performance with board expectations and the organization’s risk appetite.
 

Technology & Infrastructure Oversight

Providing governance insight on security architecture, cloud and hybrid infrastructure, and enterprise technology strategy.
 

Regulatory, Compliance & GRC

Enterprise Risk & Third-Party Risk

Helping boards and executives connect technology risk, third-party risk, and enterprise risk into a single, defensible view.
 

Executive & Board Alignment

Strengthening how security leaders brief boards, measure performance, and translate technical risk into decisions leadership can act on.
