Dr. B.
👋 Hi there, I’m Dr. B.—and I’ve been in the game for over 25 years. Throughout my journey, I’ve worked with a wide range of organizations and top-tier consulting firms, gathering insights, solving tough problems, and learning what works (and what doesn’t).
For the past 20 years, I’ve zeroed in on one mission: helping teams navigate cybersecurity risk with clarity and confidence. It’s not just what I do—it’s what I live and breathe.
That’s why I’m thrilled to share this cheat sheet with you. It’s not theory. It’s the result of years of trial, error, and refinement—now backed by a proven track record. Whether you’re just starting out or deep in the trenches, this guide is designed to give you practical, battle-tested strategies that actually move the needle.
Let’s make cybersecurity smarter, together.
“What you think you know about cyber risk is holding you back.”
✅ Phase 1: Master Discovery & Data Collection
Learn to develop a precise scope statement that focuses your efforts on what truly matters.
Get sample interview questions designed to uncover mission-critical dependencies, not just technical flaws.
Align your assessment with the NIST CSF functions and key asset classes (Users, Devices, Applications, Data, Networks).
✅ Phase 2: Drive Actionable Analysis & Conclusions
Move beyond compliance-checking to a true cyber risk analysis that identifies threats to the organization.
Learn key areas to analyze, from vulnerability aging to governance gaps and user privileges.
Develop a powerful conclusion narrative rooted in facts that leadership can’t ignore.
✅ Phase 3: Deliver Reports That Get Results
Discover the crucial 4-meeting sequence for presenting your findings to ensure accuracy, awareness, and buy-in before it ever reaches the CISO.
Learn how to report your findings in a way that builds alliances, not animosity.
Get a pro tip on tracking metrics to demonstrate the immense value of your program over time.
