Gatedragon LLC

GateDragon LLC is a cybersecurity advisory and AI/software studio built on more than two decades of hands-on security leadership in regulated industries. The practice delivers fractional CISO services to commercial mid-market organizations in pharma and life sciences, public companies, healthtech, and fintech clients facing real audit pressure from FDA, SOX, HIPAA, and ISO frameworks, not theoretical risk checklists.

Engagements are led directly by a CISSP with 11+ years of security leadership experience, including managed security programs at two pharmaceutical companies and direct remediation of FDA and SOX audit findings on the security-control side.

Alongside the advisory practice, GateDragon builds AI-native security tools including ShieldBrief, a threat-intelligence platform purpose-built for CISOs where deep practitioner knowledge drives product decisions rather than generalist engineering assumptions.

The firm operates independently: no vendor referral fees, no conflict-of-interest penetration testing, and no federal classified engagements. Every recommendation is governed by what the client actually needs.
