For CEOs, boards and general counsel

A sitting CISO, not a checklist vCISO.

Dr. Wertheim currently holds CISO roles at an NYDFS-regulated insurtech and an identity-governance software company. Your program gets the same playbook he runs under examination: risk assessment, Part 500 controls, board reporting, incident readiness, and the AI questions your directors are about to ask.

What clients say

Leadership the board can read.

“RedOps changed how our board looks at cyber risk. Instead of raw technical data and tool counts, our directors get clear, metrics-driven reporting tied to operational resilience and financial risk. We get enterprise-grade CISO leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.”
Chief Executive OfficerMid-market digital health provider
“We were close to losing a multimillion-dollar enterprise deal over vendor security requirements and SOC 2. RedOps found our gaps, put the right controls in place without slowing the business, and guided us through the audit. We kept the account, and security became a selling point.”
