About
My name is Mark Peterson
I've spent the last 15+ years helping B2B SaaS companies build products, platforms, and security programs. My career spans product management, cloud infrastructure, compliance, and information security, giving me a unique perspective on how growing software companies earn the trust required to sell into enterprise markets.
Today, I partner with founders and leadership teams as a fractional CISO and trusted technology advisor—helping them build pragmatic security programs that support growth without slowing innovation.
-
Your first enterprise customer is asking security questions you can't confidently answer.
-
Enterprise customers require SOC 2 before they'll sign.
-
Security questionnaires are delaying sales.
-
Engineering owns security, but no one leads it.
-
You're not ready for ISO 27001, SOC 2, FedRAMP, or TX-RAMP.
-
You need experienced security leadership, but not a full-time CISO.
-
Security initiatives compete with product roadmap priorities.

Strategic security leadership without the commitment of hiring a full-time CISO.
Partner with founders and leadership teams to build pragmatic security programs, establish governance, manage risk, and align security with business growth. Whether you're preparing for enterprise customers or need experienced guidance as your company scales, I provide executive-level security leadership tailored to your stage.
Turn compliance into a competitive advantage.
Prepare for SOC 2, ISO 27001, TX-RAMP, FedRAMP, and enterprise customer security reviews with practical guidance that fits your organization. I help establish policies, prioritize security initiatives, and coordinate readiness efforts so compliance supports growth rather than becoming a distraction.
Bridge the gap between product, engineering, and security.
​
Leverage more than 15 years of product and technology leadership to define product strategy, prioritize roadmaps, improve engineering alignment, and make sound technology investments. My background across product management, platform engineering, and security helps organizations build scalable products while maintaining customer trust.
