Independent board advisory services help directors and executive teams oversee cyber, AI, and technology risk without being buried in technical noise. Tyson Martin translates complex risk into plain-English reporting, clear decision rights, defensible governance, and 90-day action plans so boards can ask sharper questions, evidence duty of care, and guide management with confidence.
Focused advisory services that turn cyber, AI, and technology risk into clear board-level decisions.
Ongoing independent advisory for boards and executives, including plain-English cyber and technology risk reporting, between-meeting guidance, CISO reporting validation, and regulatory awareness without managing day-to-day operations.
A concise board-ready format that replaces jargon-heavy security updates with business impact, exposure trends, disclosure considerations, and clear decisions directors can act on each meeting.
A half-day or full-day workshop that identifies the most dangerous cyber and AI governance gaps, then produces a practical 90-day board action plan.
A structured four-to-six-week education program teaching directors and executives the questions, frameworks, and language needed for effective cyber and AI oversight.
A board-level engagement that defines technology and cyber risk thresholds, decision rights, escalation triggers, metrics, and review cadence for defensible oversight.
Customized tabletop exercises and disclosure rehearsals that prepare directors, executives, and response teams for cyber incidents, SEC timing expectations, evidence preservation, and recovery decisions.
The engagement begins by understanding board composition, committee responsibilities, business strategy, regulatory exposure, current security reporting, and the decisions directors are expected to make. This frames cyber, AI, and technology risk around governance accountability.

Independent board advisory services give directors and executive teams an objective perspective on cyber, AI, and technology risk. The advisor does not replace management or run operations. Instead, the work focuses on oversight: clearer reporting, decision rights, risk appetite, escalation thresholds, board education, and defensible documentation that helps directors ask better questions and guide management effectively.
