Engagement options
Three ways to engage HPG leadership
Every engagement is customized. Scope is defined through a strategic consultation around your sites, principals, and objectives.
Strategic Advisory
Periodic executive-level guidance for leadership teams that need senior security perspective without a standing role.
Fractional CSO
Ongoing security leadership and program oversight, with a seasoned leader embedded alongside your executive team.
Interim CSO
Temporary security leadership during transitions, acquisitions, organizational change, or the search for a permanent executive.
How the Fractional CSO engagement works
The challenge
Many organizations with multiple sites, high-profile principals, or growing portfolios spend significantly on security but lack one accountable leader. Incident response varies by site, vendors are managed in silos, leadership has little visibility into risk, and no one owns a long-term security strategy.
The solution
HPG assigns a Fractional CSO who works directly with ownership, operations, legal and property leadership to set direction and hold the program accountable.
What the Fractional CSO delivers
Executive alignment
Security becomes a leadership conversation tied to business goals.
Crisis readiness
Site-specific emergency plans, response protocols and tabletop testing.
Vendor oversight
Contract compliance, performance reviews and a cleaner RFP process.
Audit and compliance
Documented assessments and a clear record of decisions.
