Cybersecurity Strategy Development

Build a cybersecurity strategy that drives the business forward

A cybersecurity strategy should do more than protect data - it should enable the business. At Hive Systems, we help organizations design cybersecurity strategies that reduce risk, unlock growth, and communicate clearly with the boardroom and the front line. Whether you’re launching your first program or recalibrating after rapid growth, our process helps you make smarter, faster decisions rooted in risk, not fear.

We go beyond documentation. We build strategies that influence budget, hiring, vendor selection, and how your business manages cybersecurity as a core function.

Built for CISOs, backed by real-world data

Cybersecurity leaders trust Hive because we bring a balanced view of technical depth and executive strategy. Our process is built for CISOs, CIOs, and CEOs who need to:

  • Understand their most pressing risks and exposures

  • Justify investments with clear ROI and prioritization

  • Communicate effectively with boards and executive teams

  • Align cybersecurity operations with business goals

  • Plan for growth, M&A, or regulatory scrutiny

Your strategy will be shaped around your organization’s risk appetite, industry threats, and internal maturity - not a one-size-fits-all framework.

A collaborative process, not a PDF in a drawer

We build your strategy with you, not for you. Our engagements are interactive, cross-functional, and tailored to how your organization works. You’ll walk away with more than a document - you’ll have alignment, buy-in, and a roadmap ready to execute.

We include:

  • Discovery workshops with leadership, IT, and business teams

  • Prioritized risk and capability assessments

  • Strategic roadmap with 30/90/365-day milestones

  • Budget and resource planning aligned to impact

  • Communication tools for executive and team rollout

This isn’t theory - it’s a practical plan that’s ready to move.

Powered by Derive for smarter decisions

Our strategy development is informed by data from Derive, our preferred platform for risk quantification, benchmarking, and investment planning. We use Derive to model cyber risk in financial terms, compare you against peers, and build a strategy rooted in return-on-security-investment (ROSI).

This enables you to:

  • See the financial impact of your top risks

  • Prioritize projects based on measurable ROI

  • Benchmark your program against similar organizations

  • Justify decisions with confidence to stakeholders

Derive turns cybersecurity strategy into a financial conversation - one that resonates across the C-suite.

Let’s design a smarter path forward

Whether you’re a startup scaling quickly or an enterprise facing board pressure, Hive Systems helps you design a cybersecurity strategy that makes sense - and makes an impact.
