I’m Nigel Roberts, CISSP, a cybersecurity consultant in Bowie, Maryland, and the founder of NexSecure Solutions LLC. I help small and mid-sized organizations reduce risk and get audit-ready without slowing the business. I build practical programs aligned to NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. Certifications include CISSP, CCSP, and CySA+.
What I do
vCISO support: Fractional security leadership that sets priorities, builds a practical roadmap, and keeps risk moving down through steady governance, clear owners, and measurable outcomes.
Cloud and Microsoft 365 security: Identity controls, hardening, and logging you can maintain.
Risk and governance: Policies, roles, and evidence paths that satisfy auditors and work for operators.
Vulnerability management: Baselines, prioritization, and patch plans that reduce time-to-remediate.
Third-party and vendor risk: Questionnaires, contract language, and monitoring that scales.
Security awareness: Practical programs that improve behavior without constant reminders.
AI governance and risk management: Policies, controls, and accountability structures for AI tools, models, and agents used across your business.
Frameworks and compliance
Most clients need credibility fast. I align controls to NIST CSF, map gaps to ISO 27001 Annex A or SOC 2 criteria, and build an evidence plan so audits are predictable.
Working style
Clear language. Short documents. Simple dashboards. Weekly touchpoints. Reusable deliverables, not one-off reports.
Recent outcomes
Reduced critical vulnerabilities by 50% in one quarter through prioritization and configuration fixes.
Prepared a nonprofit for a security audit in under 90 days with defensible evidence.
Cut third-party review time by 60% using standard questionnaires and contract addenda.
