BDP delivers enterprise-grade security leadership, technology risk advisory, full MSSP services, and Fractional and vCISO engagements — right-sized to your stage and budget so security stops blocking deals and starts closing them. Our Field CISO work has shortened enterprise deal cycles by 30–65 days.
Trusted across startups · SMB & mid-market · VC-backed unicorns · Fortune 2000
Whether you're a founder closing your first enterprise logo, a CIO modernizing risk, or a Board member protecting valuation — the buyer is going to ask for SOC 2, a pen test, an AI policy, and a DPA. We build the program that answers all of it — and use it to win the deal.
Close enterprise deals faster
We sit beside your sales, GTM, and customer teams — shipping the white papers, answering the questionnaires, and negotiating security riders that turn buyer scrutiny into closed business.
Built for your stage
Concierge engagements that flex from a few hours a week to embedded leadership — for startups, SMB and mid-market, PE/VC portfolios, and global enterprises alike.
Board-ready from day one
Live threat intelligence, an active 60+ CISO network through SVCI, and a Board-presenter since 2007 — ready when your investors, regulators, and auditors come knocking.
"Every company is a data company. Data security and privacy are the cost of goods sold."
Roger Hale · Managing Director
BDP exists at the intersection of data protection and revenue protection. In a market where every product is a data product — every transaction, model, and customer interaction is a data exchange — security and privacy are no longer back-office controls. They are line items in your cost of goods sold, and direct inputs to enterprise valuation, deal velocity, and customer trust.
Founded by Roger Hale — a 25+ year security executive who has led programs across Fortune 2000 public companies, VC-backed unicorns, and PE-backed mid-market firms — BDP brings the discipline of enterprise CISO leadership into the shape and budget of a startup. Roger has secured $5B+ in enterprise assets, navigated a $15B divestiture (Symantec / Veritas), and pioneered the Field CISO model that turns security into a measurable revenue accelerant.
He is an active member of the Silicon Valley CISO Investments (SVCI) network of 60+ sitting CISOs, former Vice President of IT-ISAC, and a Board presenter since 2007 on cyber risk, AI governance, and data sovereignty across the US, EMEA, APAC, the Middle East, and Mainland China.
