Managed Security Service Provider

Security leadership and protection, without the enterprise overhead.

Foxhollow IT gives growing companies a complete security function: strategy from a fractional CISO, hands-on defense across endpoints, code, cloud and AI, and compliance that gets you audit-ready.

Experience

Nearly 20 years of Big 4 security leadership

Foxhollow IT was founded by a senior Big 4 consultant with nearly two decades in cybersecurity. That time was spent inside the hardest environments there are: global banks, heavy industry and the federal government, where a missed control has real consequences.

Those engagements taught one lesson above all: good security is not about the longest list of tools. It is about knowing which risks actually matter, building controls people will really follow, and explaining the trade-offs in plain language to everyone from engineers to boards and regulators.

Foxhollow IT exists to bring that level of rigor to organizations that can't justify a Big 4 engagement or a full in-house security team. When you work with us, you work directly with a senior practitioner, not a pyramid of junior staff.

Approach

How we work

A clear path from unknown risk to a security program you can show to customers, auditors and your board.

  1. 01

    Assess

    We map your assets, data and threats, and benchmark your current controls.

  2. 02

    Prioritize

    Findings become a ranked roadmap tied to business impact, budget and deadlines.

  3. 03

    Implement

    Our team deploys controls, tooling and policies alongside your engineers.

  4. 04

    Operate

    We monitor, respond and report continuously, and adapt as you grow.

Why Foxhollow

Senior expertise, practical outcomes

Large consultancies are expensive and slow. Tool vendors only sell tools. We sit in the middle: a small, senior team that is accountable for results.

  • Right-sized

    Pay for the security leadership and coverage you need today, and scale as you grow.

  • Vendor-neutral

    We recommend what fits your environment, not what earns us a margin.

  • Built for engineers

    Guidance that fits your pipelines and workflows instead of blocking them.

  • Plain-language reporting

    Clear risk summaries your executives, customers and auditors can act on.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a fractional CISO?

A seasoned security executive who works with your company part-time. You get strategy, governance and accountability at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

Can we engage just one service?

Yes. Many clients start with a single need, such as SOC 2 readiness or cloud posture, and expand over time.

Which compliance frameworks do you support?

We commonly support SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, CMMC and GDPR. Ask us about others.

How do you secure AI systems?

We threat-model your AI use cases, test models and agents for attacks like prompt injection and data exfiltration, and put governance and monitoring in place.

How quickly can we get started?

Most engagements begin with a short discovery call followed by a scoped proposal. Reach out and we will outline timing for your situation.
