Security and compliance programs built to stand up to scrutiny
We help established enterprises, legal teams, and growth-stage companies assess cyber risk, prepare for audits, govern AI, and build security programs that customers, regulators, and boards can trust.

How we help
Eight practices, one advisory relationship
Each engagement begins with an independent assessment and ends with a prioritized roadmap your team can act on. We do not run your program or sell you the tooling, which is what allows the assessment to be independent in the first place.
Cyber Risk and Maturity
Measure maturity against NIST CSF or CIS, quantify exposure in dollars, and know what to fix first.
View practiceRegulatory and Legal Compliance
Technical assessment behind privacy, healthcare, financial, and government obligations, often under counsel.
View practiceAI Governance
Govern the AI you build, buy, and use, against ISO 42001, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and emerging state law.
View practiceProduct and Application Security
Find what an attacker would find in your product, your APIs, and your cloud, before a customer's security review does.
View practiceThird-Party Risk and M&A
Judge the security of a vendor, a target, or a portfolio company before the commitment is made.
View practicevCISO and Fractional Leadership
Senior security leadership at the commitment level you need, without a full-time executive hire.
View practiceHuman Risk and Security Awareness
Reduce the decisions that cause breaches, and measure behavior rather than course completion.
View practiceWho we serve
Three kinds of organization, three kinds of pressure
Established Enterprises
Boards, regulators, and customers all asking for assurance at once, across a control environment too large to hold in one head.
How we help enterprisesLaw Firms and Legal Departments
Advice that turns on technical facts: whether encryption was in place, whether access was controlled, whether a program was reasonable.
How we support counselGrowth-Stage & Startup Companies
An enterprise deal stalled behind a security questionnaire, and no internal security function to answer it.
How we help growth-stage and startup companiesHow an engagement works
Four steps, and you own the program throughout
01
Discover
A confidential conversation about your objectives, obligations, and environment.
02
Assess
Independent examination against the framework, regulation, or contract that applies.
03
Prioritize
Findings ranked by risk and effort, with a roadmap sequenced for your constraints.
04
Support
Advice while your team or chosen providers implement, and reassessment when it matters.
Why Data Fiduciaries
What an independent advisor is for
Senior-practitioner leadership
Engagements are led by people who have carried executive responsibility for security programs, not by analysts working from a checklist.
Evidence over assertion
Every recommendation is aimed at the artifact an auditor, customer, regulator, or court will ask to see.
Advice fitted to the organization
Controls and sequencing follow your product, stack, and stage rather than a template applied to every client.
One accountable relationship
Assessment, roadmap, audit readiness, and reassessment sit with one firm, with independent auditors where a standard requires them.
Confidentiality by default
Every engagement runs under a nondisclosure agreement and a master services agreement, and under privilege where counsel directs the work.
Independence and terms
We do not sell what we assess
Data Fiduciaries takes no revenue from tooling resale, implementation, or referral commissions, so an assessment has nothing to steer. Engagements are scoped individually and conducted under a nondisclosure agreement and a master services agreement, and under attorney-client privilege where counsel directs the work.
Start with a confidential conversation
Thirty minutes on where your program stands, what is being asked of it, and what would have to be true for the answer to hold up. No obligation either way.
