Consulting, and only consulting.

Security Governance & Program Design

The scaffolding that turns scattered security activity into a program.

Framework selection and honest alignment — NIST CSF 2.0, ISO/IEC 27001, CIS Controls — rather than a spreadsheet of green cells that nobody believes. Control ownership that maps to real people, metrics that would actually change a decision, and a governance cadence that survives contact with a busy quarter.

Tabletop Exercises & Crisis Simulation

Find out how your people decide under pressure while it is still a rehearsal.

Facilitated exercises built on your actual threat model and your actual dependencies — not a generic ransomware script. Innovide runs them for technical responders, for executive teams, and for boards, at the altitude each audience needs.

Every exercise ends with a hotwash and a findings report where each item has an owner and a date. An exercise that produces only good feelings has not done its job.

Typical shape Fixed scope. Half-day to two-day session, on site or remote

Breach Response & Recovery Advisory

Someone has to run the response. That is a role, not a checklist.

The hour a breach is confirmed, your organization acquires a crowd: digital forensics, outside breach counsel, the cyber insurer and whichever panel vendors it requires, possibly law enforcement and a regulator with its own clock, your executives, your board, and your own engineers who have not slept. Every one of them has a different mandate, a different reporting line, and a different definition of urgent. Almost nobody owns the whole picture.

Innovide takes that role. We quarterback the response: holding the operational picture, driving decisions to closure, keeping the specialists pointed in the same direction, and translating between the technical floor and the boardroom. Counsel still directs strategy and privilege. Forensics still does forensics. What we supply is the command function that ties them together, which is usually the piece nobody bought in advance.

Operations run on NIMS ICS. That gives the response a single incident commander, defined operational periods with real handoffs, incident action plans, and a situation-reporting rhythm — so the third day is not run on the same adrenaline and guesswork as the first. It also means that when law enforcement or emergency management joins, they recognize the structure immediately, because it is the one they already use.

Recovery is treated as its own phase rather than as whatever happens after containment. Restoration gets sequenced by business impact, decisions get documented while they are still fresh, and the organization comes out of it with something more useful than relief.

To be unambiguous about scope: this is advisory and command. Innovide does not perform forensic acquisition or analysis, does not negotiate with threat actors, and does not provide legal advice. We help you select those specialists, then direct and coordinate them — which is a different job, and the one that is usually missing.

Typical shape On-call when it is already happening; retainer for standing coverage

Compliance Readiness

Get ready for the audit. We are not the auditor.

Gap assessment and readiness support for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, and the customer security questionnaires that increasingly gate your deals. Purely advisory — Innovide does not perform audits or issue attestations, so there is no independence conflict and no incentive to find work for a testing arm.

Virtual & Fractional CIO

Technology leadership for organizations that have outgrown ad-hoc IT.

At a certain size, technology stops being something the operations manager handles between other duties and starts being a function that needs an owner. Innovide provides that leadership on a fractional basis: setting the roadmap, owning the IT budget, managing the vendor portfolio, and translating between what the business wants and what the systems can actually support.

Much of the value is unglamorous — licensing that has quietly doubled, a backup nobody has restored from, four tools doing one job, a renewal signed because nobody had time to look. Getting those right compounds faster than any transformation initiative.

Typical shape Retainer, typically one to four days per month

Data Strategy & Governance

AI is only as good as the data underneath it. That is usually the real problem.

Most stalled AI and analytics work traces back to data rather than to models: nobody agrees what a customer record is, quality is unmeasured, ownership is unassigned, and a meaningful share of it cannot lawfully be used for the purpose being proposed.

Innovide establishes what data exists, who owns it, what condition it is in, and what it may be used for — then sequences the work to make it fit for the uses you actually have planned, rather than for an abstract ideal state.

Technology Due Diligence

An independent read on what you are actually buying.

For investors, acquirers, and boards: an assessment of a target's technology and security posture written for the people making the decision rather than for engineers. What is genuinely solid, what is deferred maintenance, what will need capital inside eighteen months, and which findings are real deal risks as opposed to the normal imperfections every company has.

Innovide has no relationship with the target and nothing to sell either side of the transaction, which is the only position from which this assessment is worth reading.
