OPERATIVEPRIVATE ADVISORY
BY INTRODUCTION / DIRECT INQUIRY

Most breaches aren't sophisticated. Most defenses are unnecessarily complicated.

A private cybersecurity practice for individuals, families, and family offices who are deliberate targets, focused on reducing your overall likelihood of becoming a cybercrime victim. We fix the handful of things that actually matter, then make sure they stay fixed.

WHO WE PROTECT

Different exposure. Same discipline.

[ 01 ]

Individuals & Families

Personal accounts, devices, and the people who share your exposure.

[ 02 ]

Family Offices

Where one weak password can expose an entire family business.

[ 03 ]

Closely-Held Businesses

Your business, covered as part of the same relationship. Nothing separate to manage.

THE APPROACH

A handful of inexpensive habits beat a million-dollar platform.

Large-scale studies from Microsoft and Google show that proper configuration of foundational security controls can reduce the risk of account compromise by over 99%. That protection drops meaningfully once an attacker is targeting you specifically, rather than sending the same attempt to millions of inboxes. The controls that matter most are low-cost and well documented. What's rare is getting the configuration right for your specific exposure, and confirming it stays that way.

01 / ASSESS

Know your actual exposure

A private review of your accounts, devices, and public footprint, ranked by what actually matters.

02 / IMPLEMENT

Fix the handful that matter

The right controls, correctly configured, done once and done right.

03 / VERIFY

Confirm it stays fixed

Monitoring, re-tests, and direct access to the founder as things change.

SERVICES

An email that looked exactly like your business partner. A call that sounded exactly like your daughter. That hesitation you felt was the right call.

From personal risk assessments to ongoing cybersecurity concierge, family office governance, AI impersonation defense, and incident response. The work is scoped to what you actually need, not picked from a menu.

ABOUT

One advisor. No account team, no rotating analysts.

Operative's founder has over a decade of experience building and leading information security programs at high-growth, regulated technology companies in Silicon Valley, across SaaS, financial technology, and health technology. That work included direct ownership of SOC 2, PCI, and HIPAA compliance programs, enterprise identity and access management, and cloud application security, at companies that answered to real auditors and real regulators. Operative brings that same institutional discipline (built for protecting sensitive financial and health data at scale) to a client's personal life, where it's rarely applied.

The person who does the work is the person you actually talk to. Every engagement is handled personally, start to finish.
