I'm Jason Hamilton — a cybersecurity executive with nearly 30 years of experience protecting organizations across financial services, healthcare, technology, and defense.

I've built security programs from the ground up where none existed. I've stood up security operations centers, led incident response under pressure, guided organizations through their first compliance audits, and sat across the table from regulators, auditors, and executive boards. I've held roles from network engineer to Deputy CISO, and served as virtual CISO to multiple organizations simultaneously across nearly every major regulatory framework.

I hold CISSP, CISA, and GIAC Security Leadership certifications, and I'm a United States Marine Corps veteran.

I built INeedACISO because I kept seeing the same thing: small business owners facing real security and compliance challenges with no practical resources written for them. Everything out there was either too technical, too expensive, or written for lawyers and enterprise IT teams.

These guides are what I'd tell you if you hired me directly — without the consulting fees.
