About Outbound Strategies
Real Security. Practical Experience. One Point of Contact.
I’m Jordan Ross, and Outbound Strategies is my independent cybersecurity consultancy.
After 12 years in the IT space helping small and medium-sized businesses secure their environments, I saw the same pattern repeat. Organizations want to take security seriously but don’t need (or can’t justify) a full-time CISO.
That’s where I come in.
I provide strategic vCISO services that focus on risk reduction first, compliance second. My approach is grounded in real-world operations. Not theory, not checkbox exercises, and definitely not “compliance by checking the checkbox.”
My Background
For over a decade, I’ve worked across cloud infrastructure, compliance, and IT leadership, guiding companies through Microsoft 365 security hardening, SOC 2 readiness, and cybersecurity roadmap planning.
I’ve helped organizations:
• Build strong foundations for SOC 2 and client trust
• Lock down their Microsoft 365 and cloud environments
• Translate complex risk into clear action plans
• Turn security from a cost center into a competitive advantage
I bring both the technical depth and business context needed to align cybersecurity with growth goals.
How I Work
Every engagement starts with discovery. Understanding where you are and where you need to go.
Then I design a roadmap that’s practical, prioritized, and built for handoff (if that’s what you want).
You’ll always know:
• What’s been done
• What’s next
• Why it matters
No lock-in, no hidden retainers. Just straightforward guidance from someone who’s done this before.
Why Clients Choose Me
One point of contact. You work directly with me, not a rotating team.
• Proven process. Every package is built from real-world vCISO engagements.
• Scalable support. Whether you’re a five-person nonprofit or a 500-person company, I help you mature your security posture at your pace.
My goal is to make cybersecurity leadership accessible, measurable, and worth every dollar you spend.
