## About

Last Inch Consulting closes the gap between security strategy and execution.

Some growing companies don't have a security problem on paper. They have a plan, a policy document, maybe a framework they've mapped themselves against. What they don't have is anyone senior enough to own it, or the hours to carry it from intent to implementation. That last inch — between what the strategy says and what actually gets done — is where risk accumulates and audits fail.

We work as fractional security leadership for technology companies, managed service providers, and healthcare organizations. These are teams that have outgrown ad hoc security but can't justify a full-time CISO salary. We take the seat, set direction, and stay accountable for outcomes.

Our engagements address three conditions:

The technical foundation needs work. We assess your environment against real threat models, prioritize remediation by business impact rather than scanner severity, and stay involved through implementation.

No one owns security. We serve as your acting security leader — building the program, managing vendors, handling customer security reviews, briefing your board, and making the calls that require experience to get right.

A certification or audit is ahead. We lead compliance efforts end to end, including HITRUST, SOC 1 or 2, PCI/DSS and HIPAA. We handle scoping, control implementation, evidence collection, and assessor coordination so your team isn't reverse-engineering requirements under deadline.

What separates us is seniority and continuity. Every engagement is led by a practitioner who has run security at scale, not staffed out to junior consultants working from a template. You get the same person in your leadership meetings each month, who knows your architecture, your customers, and your risk tolerance.

Engagements are structured monthly, sized to your needs, and adjustable as your requirements change. Let's talk about where your security program stands and what it needs next.
