We specialize in Cyber GRC, Technology Risk, and Third-Party Risk talent placement.

WHY CHOOSE US

The practitioner difference.

A bad hire in this space costs more than a search - an audit cycle, a regulatory finding, a board's confidence. Choose a partner who takes that risk off the table. We're selective because we have to be: in a field this small, our reputation is on the line every time.

With 20+ years inside this work, we know the difference between someone who can talk about a SOC 2 audit and someone who has actually managed one.

Every search is scoped to your specific role - not a generic process. It starts with a short intake call, then regular updates: no ghosting, no guessing where things stand.

OUR PLACEMENT DOMAINS

We do not place across every domain we work in. We place where our practitioner expertise gives us a real advantage in candidate assessment.

Cyber GRC - Governance, risk, and compliance program leadership and execution

Technology Risk - IT risk frameworks, controls testing, and technology risk oversight

Third-Party Risk - Vendor risk assessments, TPRM program management, and ongoing monitoring

Information Security - Policy, governance, and compliance-aligned security roles

SOX ITGC & Compliance - IT general controls testing, SOX compliance, and audit readiness

Security Engineering & Operations - Engineering and operations roles aligned to GRC and compliance needs

ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Hiring in this space is not one-size-fits-all. Some roles need a confidential executive search. Some need an entire function built from scratch. Others need someone in the seat next week while a permanent search runs. We match the model to the situation - not the other way around.

Direct Hire

Permanent/FTE placements. Our primary focus.

Executive Search

Director through VP/MD level. Confidential search available.

Staff Augmentation

Available across all levels when you need coverage fast.

Team Build

Standing up a function from scratch, full team not just one role

APPROACH TO PARTNERSHIP

Every engagement is different.

We take the time to understand what the role actually requires and what the candidate market actually looks like - not a generic process run the same way for every client. Our goal is placements that hold up: candidates who succeed, and clients who come back.

WHERE WE GET CALLED IN

Why do people engage Lena Advisory?

➔ A SOX ITGC, compliance, or Third-Party Risk hire that generalist recruiters keep getting wrong

➔ This is your first Cyber GRC or Technology Risk hire - no internal benchmark for what good looks like

➔ Roles open for months - vague scoping, wrong profiles from generalist recruiters, or both

➔ A costly mis-hire already made - now redoing the search from scratch

➔ Candidates who look strong on paper but cannot hold up under practitioner-level vetting

➔ Interim or contract coverage needed fast while a permanent search runs
