Trusted Security Partner
Earn the trust of
enterprise customers.
I'm committed to being your long-term security partner — I don't just get you compliant, I help you pass the vendor assessments and close the enterprise deals that grow your business. Right-sized programs, transparent pricing.
Enterprise deals stall when security becomes the question you can't answer.
Your product is ready. Your team is ready. But the enterprise procurement team sends a 200-question security questionnaire — or your AI product triggers a governance review — and suddenly the deal you've been working for months is on hold.
Failed vendor assessments
Enterprise security teams reject vendors who can't demonstrate mature security controls or pass their review process.
No compliance certifications
Without SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent, you're automatically disqualified from enterprise procurement pipelines.
AI governance scrutiny
Enterprise buyers are placing AI products under a microscope — demanding data privacy guarantees, model governance, and audit trails before they'll sign.
No dedicated security leadership
You need CISO-level expertise to respond to security reviews, but you're not ready or able to hire a full-time executive.
Right-sized security programs built around your business.
I want nothing more than to show you how easy it is to remove the security obstacles bottlenecking your pipeline. Here's how I help.

Book a Free CallFrom security gap to enterprise-ready in three phases.
Assess
We start with an honest look at where you stand. I review your current security posture, compliance gaps, and the specific requirements from your target enterprise customers — so we know exactly what to prioritize.
- Current-state security review
- Gap analysis against target frameworks
- Prioritized roadmap

- Vendor assessment support
- Audit preparation & management
- Ongoing advisory & maintenance
Built for the teams selling into enterprise.
You're closing your first enterprise deals — or trying to.
Your product is strong. But enterprise procurement has uncovered security gaps that are slowing or killing deals. You need a credible security program and someone who can speak fluently to the hardest technical reviewers.
Signs you're the right fit:
- Enterprise deals stalling on security questionnaires
- Missing SOC 2 or equivalent certification
- No dedicated security leadership in-house
- Seed through Series B stage
Your customers are asking questions about AI you don't have answers to.
Enterprise buyers are placing AI under a microscope. They want to know about data handling, model governance, bias controls, and ISO 42001 compliance. I help you build the frameworks that answer those questions with confidence.
Signs you're the right fit:
- Customers asking about AI data privacy & governance
- No ISO 42001 or AI risk framework in place
- EU AI Act or NIST AI RMF requirements emerging
- Training data or output liability concerns
Enterprise-grade security leadership.

Your trusted security partner — not just another consultant.
I built Justin Gratto Consulting on a simple belief: security should remove obstacles, not create them. Too many startups and SMBs lose deals, stall in procurement, or get flagged in due diligence because they couldn't get the right security program in place at the right time.
I'm committed to a long-term relationship with my clients. That means I'm not here to hand you a report and disappear — I'm in the weeds with your team, completing your vendor questionnaires, leading your audits, and making sure the security story you tell enterprise customers is one that actually closes deals.
Whether you're a SaaS startup finding product-market fit, an AI company navigating a wave of new governance requirements, or an SMB that's been around for years and finally needs to get serious about security — I can help you get there.
