Overview

How we help

Technology companies usually call us when a security review stalls a deal. We build SOC 2 and ISO 27001 on one control set, test applications on your release cadence instead of an annual calendar, and answer the AI governance questions now showing up in procurement.

Our Advantage

Why BD Emerson

Compliance that unblocks enterprise deals

Enterprise buyers hold deals in security review, and SOC 2 is usually what gets them out. We build the program on a control set mapped to ISO 27001, so the second framework is weeks of gap work rather than a second project.

Testing that keeps pace with your releases

An annual penetration test describes code you shipped eleven months ago. We scope testing to your release cadence: web and API coverage where authorization actually breaks, retests when fixes land, and findings written so an engineer can reproduce them.

Governance for AI features, diligence for the deal

Ship an AI feature and the questionnaires change: customers ask about ISO 42001, EU AI Act exposure, and what your models do with their data. We build the governance that answers those questions. When you raise a round or buy a company, we run the security and technology diligence the deal depends on.

Certificates

Our accreditations

At BD Emerson, we believe that our team's extensive certifications not only set us apart but also ensure that we provide the highest level of service to our clients.

Featured success story

Industry Leading Tech Company: Bridging the CISO Gap.

Get a Quote

Overview

A large technology company with a broad customer base and enterprise contracts that assume continuous security oversight. Its products handle customer data at a scale where a gap in security leadership is a board-level concern. Security posture is part of how the company sells, and customers evaluate it in every renewal.

Challenge

The vCISO Challenge

The company's Chief Information Security Officer left unexpectedly, and the search for a replacement was projected to take six months. Security decisions could not wait that long: audits, customer reviews, and program work continue whether the seat is filled or not. The company needed interim leadership that would also prepare the ground for the incoming CISO.

Solution

The vCISO Solution

BD Emerson's vCISO stepped into the seat immediately and ran the security function while the search continued: owning decisions, keeping audit and customer commitments on schedule, and running a gap assessment that became the strategy the next leader would inherit. When the company hired its new CISO, we ran the handoff, walking them through open risks, in-flight work, and the reasoning behind each interim decision. The program never paused, and the new CISO started with a working plan rather than a blank page.

Benefits

Client Profile: A leading technology company known for its innovative solutions.
Client Requirements: Interim CISO coverage, rapid gap assessments, and a seamless transition to a new CISO.
Deliverables: Immediate vCISO coverage, comprehensive gap assessments, and support for the onboarding of the new CISO.
Client Testimonial: "The unexpected turnover in our security leadership position could have been a major setback. However, with BD Emerson's vCISO service, we not only bridged the gap but also strengthened our cybersecurity framework. Their support in onboarding our new CISO was invaluable." – COO at Major Technology Company
