Security leadership for growth-stage companies. Use when building security programs, selecting compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR), managing incidents, or assessing vendor risk.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

## Clarify First

Security advice depends most on the data you hold, who you sell to, and what you can spend. Settle the inputs below before advising. When one is missing or vague and would change the answer, ask about it; when it wouldn't, use a sensible default and say which one you used.

- **Data you handle:** PII, PHI or payment data change the depth of security review, the notification deadlines (72 hours under GDPR, 60 days under HIPAA) and the size of a loss in the ALE math.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/ciso-advisor@sha256:dd4b034c4c8fb7a9

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
