Resilience for what
matters most.
We architect organizational resilience against sophisticated threats — designed from your reality, not ours.
Founded on operational experience, not theory.
Risk Vector is a cyber resilience advisory founded by practitioners who have led incident response, built security programs, and advised leadership across regulated industries.
We ensure resilience. We don't sell reassurance.
Principal-Led Engagements
Every engagement is led by senior principals with direct operational experience in incident management and organizational resilience.
Sector Fluency
We understand the language of your sector — from pharmaceutical manufacturing to financial services, energy to critical infrastructure.
Actionable Delivery
Our work produces operational capabilities that integrate into your existing governance and operations — not documentation that satisfies an audit and collects dust.
Regulatory Depth
Deep working knowledge of DORA, NIS2, NIST CSF, ISO 22301, and sector-specific regulatory frameworks across Europe and beyond.
Structured resilience,
end to end
From initial assessment through operational preparedness — a disciplined path to organizational resilience maturity.
Resilience Architecture
We assess organizational posture against the CR-CMM, map critical operations, and develop a resilience roadmap aligned to your risk appetite and regulatory obligations. The outcome is a structural blueprint — not a compliance artifact.
Threat Landscape Analysis
Identification and prioritization of extreme-but-plausible threat scenarios specific to your sector. We map internal dependencies, model supply chain exposure, and deliver a threat picture calibrated to how your organization actually operates.
Incident Preparedness
Development of incident management plans, crisis communication protocols, and escalation frameworks built for the moments when institutional clarity matters most. Structured to function under pressure — not to satisfy an audit.
Business Impact Assessment
Rigorous analysis that moves beyond compliance checklists. We identify your true critical assets, quantify the operational cost of disruption, and ensure the organization understands what it cannot afford to lose.
Crisis Exercises
Threat-informed, scenario-driven exercises that stress-test organizational preparedness — from operational simulations to board-level crisis walkthroughs. Designed from real-world incident patterns, not hypothetical abstractions.
Data Vaulting
Immutable, isolated recovery environments engineered to withstand compromise. We design and implement data vaulting architectures — air-gapped storage, integrity verification, rapid restoration — ensuring critical data survives the scenarios your other controls were not built to anticipate.
Strategic Briefings
Original insights on organizational resilience and the evolving threat landscape. Abstracted for discretion, grounded in operational reality.
Minimum Viable Operations
A framework for defining the absolute baseline required to sustain institutional continuity. How to identify and isolate the core services that must survive any scenario.
Restart Framework
A disciplined methodology for restoring operational capacity following total environmental compromise. From cold-start recovery to progressive service restoration.
Isolated Recovery
Technical and organizational requirements for immutable data vaulting. Lessons learned from recent large-scale recovery mandates.
Practitioners with
operational depth.
Our advisors have led programs and managed incidents within the world's most complex environments. We provide direct access to senior principals — not delegation to junior teams.
Founding Principal
Cyber Crisis Readiness & Recovery
10+ years in cyber resilience leadership across global banking, pharmaceuticals, and critical infrastructure. Background spanning isolated recovery environment design, crisis management, and threat-informed defence. Co-Chair, ISSA Cyber Resilience SIG.
Principal
Threat Operations & Exercise Design
SOC management and threat monitoring background within global financial services. Operational depth in cyber response exercises, phishing resilience programmes, and security operations improvement across critical infrastructure.
Extended Network
Domain Experts
Specialists engaged selectively based on the requirements of each mandate. Every member of our extended network operates to the same standard of discretion and depth as our principals.
Our work speaks through discretion, not disclosure.
Our clients don't appear on our website. They prefer it that way.
We do not publish logos, testimonials, or case studies — because in our line of work, describing what we fixed means describing what failed. Our clients' confidence is not a marketing constraint. It is the foundation of everything we do.
Practitioner Background
Our advisors have led cyber resilience programs within complex, globally regulated organizations. This is institutional understanding earned from within.
Selective Engagement
We take on a limited number of mandates. Every engagement receives direct principal involvement — not delegation to junior consultants.
Vendor-Agnostic Counsel
Our recommendations are unencumbered by product affiliations. We advise on what you need — not what we have to sell.
We welcome the opportunity
to discuss your situation.
Strategic resilience begins with absolute discretion.
