AI security
Securing the systems that run models, retrieval and agents: threat models, reference architectures, guardrails you can measure, and the governance a board and a regulator will ask for.
LLM applicationsAgentsAI governance
AI security
AI you can put in front of the board.
Architecture, threat models and assessments for models, retrieval and agents, so AI reaches production with controls a regulator will recognise and an attacker will not walk through.
Zero trust
Zero trust, designed around how you operate.
An architecture and a sequenced roadmap built from your identity, network and applications as they are, not from a vendor's definition of the term.
Cyber security and data protection
Security and privacy your regulators can verify.
Strategy, assessment and delivery across infrastructure, cloud, applications and data, with a virtual CISO where the leadership seat is empty.
RaieNox.academy
Train the team that will run it.
Hands-on AI security training on lab estates built to be attacked and defended. Assessment aligned to ISO/IEC 17024, and certificates issued as W3C Verifiable Credentials.
Why RaieNox.ai
Senior advice, vendor independent
Large firms bring scale, and a partner list to go with it. We bring the judgement of someone who has run the programmes, and advice that carries no vendor's agenda.
01
Industry experience
23 years in enterprise security, including a CISO's seat. The person who scopes your engagement is the person who does the work.
02
Vendor independent
We hold no reseller agreements and take no commission from any vendor. The recommendation is the one that fits your estate.
03
Strategy through to delivery
The same team sets the direction, designs the architecture and stays through delivery, so nothing is lost between the strategy and the work.
04
Design-thinking led
We start from how your organisation works and what it must protect, then design controls people will actually use.
Practices
Four practices, one standard of evidence
Each practice covers strategy, architecture and assessment. Most engagements touch more than one.
Zero trust
Identity at every hop, segmentation without gaps, and a roadmap sequenced so each phase reduces risk on its own. Designed for the estate you have.

Cyber security
Security strategy, architecture and assessment across infrastructure, cloud and applications, tied to the risks your business actually carries.

Data protection
What the organisation holds, where it moves and who may see it, with controls that survive an audit as well as an attacker.

How we engage
From a two-week decision to a multi-year programme
Some questions need a clear answer quickly. Others need someone to stay until the change is made. We do both, and a virtual CISO sits beside either.
-
Advise
A short, strategic engagement: a design review, a high-level architecture, or an independent view on which vendor to choose.
-
Assess
AI, cyber security, infrastructure, cloud, application and data protection assessments, reported as findings you can act on.
-
Deliver
Programme, project and change management, and deployment services, for as long as the programme runs.
-
Lead
A virtual CISO who owns the security agenda, reports to your board and works with your teams.
Virtual CISO
A CISO's judgement, without a full-time hire
For organisations that need security leadership before they need a permanent seat, or between two. Our virtual CISO owns the agenda, answers to the board and works through your teams.
- A security strategy and a roadmap the board has approved
- Risk reporting in the terms your board and regulators use
- Policy, governance and audit readiness
- Vendor and architecture decisions made independently
- A plan for the permanent hire, when the time comes
Leadership
Every engagement is led by the founder
There is no hand-off from a partner who sells to a team that delivers. The founder scopes the work, leads it, and signs the recommendation.
