Services
Fractional CISO
Ongoing security leadership — board and leadership reporting, risk oversight, and policy ownership without a full-time executive hire.
Security Program Assessment & Buildout
Gap assessment against recognized frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF) with a roadmap prioritized to your actual risk, not a generic checklist.
GDPR & Data Protection Advisory
Data Protection Officer support, data mapping, and DPIAs for organizations handling regulated or sensitive data.
Incident Response Readiness
Incident response planning and tabletop exercises before something happens, and hands-on support if it does.
Vendor & Third-Party Risk
Security due diligence and ongoing risk management for vendors and partners with access to your data.
Audit & Compliance Support
Preparation and evidence support for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and sponsor or regulatory security reviews.
How engagements run
-
01

-
02
Build
Program design: policies, controls, and a roadmap prioritized by that risk, not a template.
-
03
Operate
Ongoing fractional leadership — ownership, reporting, and steady-state operations.
About
Traxr is led by Chris Vaughan, who has spent his career leading information security and data protection for organizations operating under regulatory scrutiny — including running security and GDPR compliance for a global clinical research organization overseeing Phase I–IV trials, preclinical work, and regulatory consulting.
Traxr exists because most companies in regulated industries need that kind of leadership long before they can justify hiring it full-time.
