RISK PROGRAMS THAT HOLD UP - NOT JUST ON PAPER
Most GRC consulting ends with a report. Most GRC recruiting ends with a keyword match. Neither solves the problem. We built Lena Advisory to do both differently.
We help companies close risk and compliance gaps before they become costly mistakes - or a regulatory problem.
No matter your stage - small-to-mid, growth-stage, pre-IPO, or established.
We specialize in Cyber GRC, Technology Risk, and Third-Party Risk advisory and talent placement - built on 20+ years of doing this work from the inside.
WHO WE ARE
20+ years inside the work, not just advising on it.
That experience comes from hands-on work building, recovering, and maturing Cyber GRC and Technology Risk programs - standing up programs from scratch when nothing existed before, passing first-year SOX ITGC exams, and closing regulatory findings before they become repeat findings. We have worked inside risk and security organizations at regulated financial institutions and Fortune 500 companies, not just advised them from outside. We know what it takes to make a program hold up under audit, regulatory, and board scrutiny.
Execution Oriented
We stay in the work until it holds up under audit, regulatory, and board scrutiny
Hands-On
We have done this work. We know what good looks like from the inside
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Practitioner-led. Not keyword-matching.
We have held these roles, built these programs, and know what the work actually requires. That practitioner lens is what our clients hires us for - whether they need a program built or a hire made.
Exclusively Focused
Cyber GRC, Technology Risk, and Third-Party Risk only. Nothing else
Tailored, Not Templated
Every engagement, program or hire, is scoped to what you actually need. No recycled playbooks
ADVISORY & CONSULTING
We build, recover, and mature Cyber GRC and Technology Risk programs.
We step in at whatever stage the organization needs us - building from inception, recovering what has stalled, or maturing what needs to reach a higher bar. We stay until the work holds up.
Mature
Strengthening programs that exist but need to scale or meet a higher bar.
Build
Standing up programs from inception where nothing exists yet.
Recover
Stabilizing programs that have drifted off course or been flagged by regulators, auditors, or leadership.
TALENT PLACEMENT
We place Cyber GRC professionals the way practitioners hire them.
Not keyword matching. Not resume screening. We assess candidates based on what the role actually requires – because we have held these roles ourselves. From individual contributors to senior leadership, permanent and contract.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Whether it is a program, a hire, or both - organizations come to us when the problem is real and the timeline is not flexible.
