About this Blog

Welcome to the Advisory Ledger blog, where cybersecurity, risk, compliance, and real-world resilience come together.

I’m Paulo Baptista, a vCISO and team lead helping companies make smarter security decisions and reduce risk. Over the years, I’ve supported fast-growing startups, SaaS platforms, healthcare providers, payment gateways and regulated businesses on their journey through audits, breaches, and everything in between.

But here’s the thing: compliance is just the beginning.

This blog exists to explore what happens after the checkbox is ticked. It’s about building:

• Operational continuity
• Strategic security maturity
• A security culture that people understand

Here, I share:

• Lessons from the field - what works (and what fails) in real-world security
• Tabletop exercise scenarios and observations from incident response planning
• Insights on frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR and CMMC and others
• Guides for vCISOs and security teams to build lasting client relationships

If you’re a CISO, compliance lead, consultant, or just someone looking to make cybersecurity less about fear and more about function, you’re in the right place.
