Pass the audit. Close the deal. Govern the AI.

We turn audit, security, and AI-governance pressure into one clear program a senior practitioner owns: so you pass the audit and close the deal, without the wasted effort.

The trigger interview & control inventory.

A senior practitioner spends two weeks inside the company. We map the trigger: buyer, regulator, model launch: to the work, then inventory what already exists.

The story · in five questions

Built by people who answer the call.

Would you trust a banker with the fire? A bookkeeper with your audit? A consultant who has never shipped a control with your AI? Nexurion is who you call when the wrong person in the room is the problem.

§ Who

Senior only.

A Marine veteran and firefighter turned senior practitioner. A bench of named principals. Decades of credentialed practice. No juniors. No reseller margin.

§ What

Compliance that actually closes.

SOC 2, ISO 27001 & 42001, FedRAMP, CMMC L1/L2, HIPAA, AI governance, privacy. Fixed-fee. Written deliverables. Signed, on the record.

§ Why

Because the stakes are real.

A failed audit kills a deal. A regulator inquiry threatens the company. An AI model exposure invites enforcement. This is not a paperwork job.

§ Where

Inside your stack.

We deploy on the tooling your team already runs and work alongside the auditors you already trust. No rip and replace.

§ When

Before the fire spreads.

You got the RFP. The board asked. The regulator wrote. You're shipping the model. Send us the trigger. The scope lands in 48 hours.

Six frameworks · one firm · zero generalists

The frameworks we run end to end: SOC 2 to AI governance.

Every framework on this page exists because a regulator, a buyer, or an insurer demanded it. None of them were designed to make your team's life easier: and most consultants treat all six as a single checklist. We don't. Below is the honest, practitioner's read on each: what it actually buys you, what it costs, and where the certification industry oversells.

SOC 2 · Type IIAICPA · Trust Services

Buyer-driven

Where health data meets enforcement.

If your buyer is asking for a framework that isn't on this list: NIST 800-53, 800-218A, FedRAMP Moderate, CMMC 2.0, PCI DSS v4: we deliver those too. We just don't write essays about them on the homepage.

The principal accountable for your engagement is the one who answers the call.

Jack Giordano · Founder & principal

A firm built by the person you'll work with.

Fourteen years on the fire engine: the original lesson in controls that fail loudly and people who keep showing up. From there, security engineering inside RTX (Raytheon) and U.S. Air Force mission‑systems programs, where a missed control is measured in lives, not headlines.

I founded Nexurion because the firm I would have hired did not exist. Senior, written, fixed‑fee, and willing to tell a buyer "don't engage us yet": three of those four are rare; all four together I had not seen.

"Most of what gets sold as AI governance is infosec wearing a different shirt. The systems learn. The agents act. You cannot govern with last decade's vocabulary."

Quarterly · published · no nurture sequence

We publish what we'd otherwise charge for.

Four issues a year, beginning Q1 2026. Each one a single, opinionated argument on a regulation, framework, or audit pattern that matters now: written by the senior practitioner, not the marketing team. If a brief is useful to you, the engagement probably will be too.

Vol. I · Published

Apr 2026 · Agentic security

When the attacker is no longer human.

Agentic AI pentesting reached production in 2025. Seven additions your risk register needs before your next HIPAA, GLBA, Mass 201, or GDPR audit.

The 5-minute scoping memo · written by a senior practitioner

Tell us the trigger. We'll write the memo.

Five questions. One reply. Tell us the trigger: an enterprise buyer, a regulator, an investor, a model that's about to ship: and within forty-eight hours a senior practitioner sends a written scoping memo: what's in scope, what isn't, the realistic calendar, and the fee range.

If the right answer is "don't engage us yet," we'll write that too.

The memo is the value exchange. No pitch deck. No nurture sequence. No partner-of-the-week call. If the memo lands and you want to talk, the booking link is at the bottom of it.

Nexurion Field Notes: Vol. I, our inaugural issue, published: lands in your inbox when it ships, either way.

Re: your trigger — buyer · regulator · investor · model launch

01In scope — the controls your buyer or regulator actually requires.

02Not in scope — what we'd tell you to skip, and why.

03Realistic calendar — weeks to audit-ready, not a sales timeline.

04Fee range — fixed and written, before any commitment.

05Or: “don't engage us yet” — if that's the honest answer.
