// vCISO · security advisory · compliance
InfoSec Advisers gives growing companies senior security guidance — a virtual CISO, a clear picture of your risk, and audit-ready compliance — sized to where your business actually is.
// what we do
Fractional leadership when you need a security owner, and hands-on compliance work when you need to pass an audit. Most clients use both.
Senior security leadership on a fractional basis — strategy, priorities, and the hard calls, embedded with your team.
Know where you stand, fix what matters, and walk into the audit ready.
// how we work
Security work only helps if the business can actually absorb it. We move in four steps.
Map your real risk — assets, data flows, threats, and where your controls actually stand today.
Rank fixes by business impact, not a generic checklist. You get a short, defensible plan.
Close the gaps that matter, working with your team at a pace the business can sustain.
Keep the program alive — reviews, metrics, and reporting that hold up over time and audits.
// selected outcomes
A sample of outcomes from prior security and technology leadership roles.
// why InfoSec Advisers
You work directly with a seasoned practitioner — not a rotating bench of juniors learning on your program.
Decisions framed in risk, cost, and revenue — the language your board and customers already speak.
Controls that fit a growing company, not enterprise theater you can't staff or maintain.
No product to resell. Advice that serves your risk, not a vendor's quota.
// about
InfoSec Advisers is an independent practice led by Arkadiy Goykhberg, a technology and security executive with deep experience across IT, information security, software engineering, and operational risk management.
Over two decades, Arkadiy has led security and technology — as a CISO, CIO, and security architect — at a global bank, one of the world's largest hedge funds, a $2bn media & private-equity group, and venture-backed fintech and insurtech. His focus is building security programs from the ground up — and maturing existing ones — to manage operational risk, meet regulatory requirements, and enable the business, with executive-level reporting that ties security spend to real risk. His work also spans technology due diligence, cloud-native architecture, and cutting technical debt by migrating off hard-to-maintain legacy systems.
Over his career he earned the CISSP, CISM, and CRISC certifications. He is also a member of Silicon Valley CISO Investments (SVCI), the CISO-led angel network backing early-stage cybersecurity companies, and is based in the New York City metro area.
