Proxim Advisory Group brings enterprise-grade cybersecurity GRC and business strategy to startups and SMBs — the organizations that need it most, and deserve it most.
We don't retrofit enterprise frameworks onto small teams. We design assurance and advisory programmes that fit where you are — and where you're going.
Governance frameworks, risk assessments, AI/automation governance, and assurance roadmaps aligned to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, and PIPEDA.
Gap assessments, policy development, contract reviews, security questionnaire support, and evidence preparation to position your business for audit success.
Operational strategy, business model analysis, and governance structures for founders and leadership teams at every stage.
Tailored risk registers, control libraries, and continuous monitoring frameworks that scale with your organization.
Proxim Advisory Group was founded on a single conviction: that small and growing businesses deserve the same quality of governance and security advisory traditionally reserved for large enterprises.
The word proxim derives from the Latin for closeness — and that's precisely what distinguishes our practice. We don't parachute in with a generic framework and leave. We sit alongside your leadership team, understand your context, and build programmes that actually work for your size, your sector, and your risk appetite.
Founded in British Columbia, Canada, Proxim Advisory Group serves startups and small-to-medium businesses across North America, Europe and Africa. Our practice spans cybersecurity governance, risk and assurance (GRC) consulting, and strategic business advisory — delivered by an advisor with doctoral-level academic credentials and hands-on operational experience.
Whether you're preparing for your first security audit, building investor-ready governance, or navigating a regulated industry, Proxim brings the rigour, clarity, and conviction to guide you through.
We engage as a true partner — close to your team, your decisions, and your outcomes.
Every recommendation is grounded in evidence, frameworks, and academic rigour.
Assurance programmes that fit your business — not the other way around.
We earn it through transparency, consistency, and delivering on every commitment.
The principal advisor holds a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) in Information Systems and Enterprise Resource Management, is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), and brings deep experience in global GRC, cloud security assurance, and strategic risk management across operational and leadership roles.
Doctoral scholarship, hands-on security practice, and business advisory judgment inform every engagement in Proxim's advisory model.

Every Proxim engagement is scoped to your business. We combine frameworks that matter with advice that translates — practical, actionable, and built to last.
Governance, Risk, and Assurance is no longer optional — it's a business enabler. Customers, investors, and regulators increasingly demand demonstrable security posture. Proxim helps you build it systematically, without the overhead of a full enterprise security team.
We work with you to assess your current state, identify gaps against applicable frameworks, design appropriate controls (including for AI and automation where relevant), and support you through to audit readiness or certification.
Facing an audit, a customer security questionnaire, or a regulatory review? Proxim's assurance readiness service prepares your organization to perform confidently — not just pass, but demonstrate a mature, sustainable assurance posture that wins customer trust and opens enterprise doors.
We specialize in helping SMBs achieve the certifications and assurance status that expand market access. This includes deep support for the commercial moments that matter most — contract reviews and security questionnaires that directly affect your ability to close deals.
Behind every assurance challenge is a business challenge. Proxim's advisory practice goes beyond security frameworks to address the strategic and operational questions that founders and leadership teams face at every stage of growth.
Drawing on doctoral-level business administration training and extensive executive experience, the principal advisor brings an evidence-based approach to strategy, governance, and operations for growing businesses.
Risk management is the backbone of a resilient organization. Without a structured programme, risk decisions are made ad hoc, inconsistently, and often too late. Proxim designs pragmatic risk management programmes that give your leadership team visibility and control.
We build risk frameworks that are proportionate to your size — rigorous enough to satisfy external scrutiny, practical enough for a lean team to maintain.
Every business is different. Choose the engagement model that fits your needs and budget — or combine them.
Defined deliverable, timeline, and fee. Ideal for gap assessments, policy suites, and audit prep projects.
Monthly advisory hours for businesses that need consistent access to a trusted GRC and assurance advisor.
