Security Program and Certification ReadinessCybersecurity and compliance programs that stand up to scrutiny
Data Fiduciaries is a cybersecurity governance, risk, and compliance consultancy based in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. We build and assess security programs for growth-stage companies, law firms and legal departments, and established enterprises nationwide, and we lead the response when incidents occur. From SOC 2 readiness and vCISO leadership to regulatory assessments, AI governance, and incident response, we help organizations prove the care they owe to the data entrusted to them.

What we do
Nine practices, one accountable partner
Every engagement is scoped to your objectives, your technology, and the evidence your customers, auditors, and regulators will ask for.
Risk and Maturity
Measure security maturity against NIST CSF 2.0 or the CIS Controls, quantify cyber risk in dollars with FAIR, and track progress with periodic reassessment.
Cyber Risk and Security MaturityRegulatory and Legal
Technical control assessments behind privacy, financial, healthcare, and government rules, often under counsel: GDPR, TDPSA, HIPAA, GLBA, NYDFS, SEC, CMMC.
Regulatory and Legal ComplianceAI Governance
Govern the AI you build, buy, or use: AI inventory, risk classification, ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF programs, and EU, Colorado, and Texas AI law readiness.

Human Risk and Security AwarenessOur standard
An organization's duty of care over data is measured by what it can prove.
Evidence over assertion. Every program we build is designed to produce the evidence auditors, customers, regulators, and courts will ask for, so your security claims can be demonstrated rather than asserted.
Who we serve
Built for three kinds of organization
Growth-Stage Companies
Close enterprise deals with a security program that fits how you build: SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness, vCISO leadership, product security, and trust programs.
