Provide a fractional product security function that works directly with engineering teams through a recurring managed-service contract. Begin with a security workflow assessment, then implement code and architecture review gates, vulnerability triage, reusable engineering guardrails, and scheduled reviews of high-risk features. A named security engineer attends planning meetings, manages remediation with developers, and reports completed risk reduction to technical leadership.

The signals span multiple industries and repeatedly call for security to move earlier into product development while engineering organizations scale quickly. This creates demand for an embedded capability that can start sooner than an internal hiring process.
