recruit22's cybersecurity practice is built around a simple premise: the best security advice comes from practitioners who've been accountable for security outcomes at scale — not consultants who've studied frameworks. We work in partnership with a veteran CISO from a top-10 US bank to deliver advisory, program guidance, and select technical engagements for organizations that take security seriously.
A security program built on the wrong framework, scoped by someone without operational experience, or staffed with people who look good on paper but can't execute under pressure — creates exposure while giving the appearance of protection. We've seen it from the talent side, evaluating cybersecurity candidates for clients who needed to know whether the person in front of them could actually do the job.
That experience shapes how we approach cybersecurity work. We don't lead with a service catalog. We lead with an honest assessment of where your organization is, where the real risk sits, and what it would actually take to address it — delivered by someone who has run security at an institution where the cost of getting it wrong was measured in regulatory consequences and systemic risk.
An honest evaluation of where your security program stands — what's working, what's creating exposure, and what the gap is between your current posture and where you need to be
Every cybersecurity candidate we present has been evaluated with CISO-level practitioner review — assessing real capability against the specific demands of the role, not just certifications and keyword matches.
For organizations navigating a security leadership gap, a regulatory event, or a critical program decision — access to senior CISO-level thinking without a full-time executive commitment.
Governance structure, policy framework, team design, and a prioritized roadmap that reflects actual risk exposure — for organizations building or rebuilding a security program.
For the right engagement — scoped carefully, with a clear problem and defined outcome — we take on technical cybersecurity delivery. We accept the ones where our specific combination adds something a generalist firm can't.
One of the most consistent problems in cybersecurity hiring is that the people making the hiring decision can't accurately evaluate whether a security candidate can actually do the job. Certifications can be obtained without real capability. Resumes in security are among the most inflated in the technology market. And the cost of a mis-hire in a security role isn't just a wasted salary — it's a gap in your security posture that may not be visible until something goes wrong.
recruit22's security hiring advisory closes that gap. Every cybersecurity candidate we present has been evaluated with CISO-level practitioner review against the specific demands of the role. You're not getting a keyword match. You're getting a practitioner's judgment on whether the person in front of you can do the work.
Cybersecurity resumes are among the most credential-inflated in technology. Certifications don't equal operational capability.

recruit22's cybersecurity practice is not a volume business. What we have is a senior practitioner partnership, a track record of honest security hiring advisory, and a clear sense of the engagements where we can add real value. If you reach out about a cybersecurity need, we'll have a direct conversation about whether we're the right fit for it. If we're not, we'll tell you that too.
