About TranSec Advisory

The advisor in the room.

The Firm

TranSec Advisory is an executive cybersecurity advisory firm. We help leaders and boards make confident, defensible cybersecurity decisions.

We believe cybersecurity is, before anything else, a leadership responsibility. Tools and tests matter, but they do not make decisions; people do. Our work is to bring judgment to those decisions — to sit with leadership, weigh what matters, and help them choose well.

We were built on standards set in the most demanding security environments, and we bring that discipline to organizations across industries. We work as advisors, not vendors: independent, candid, and accountable for the counsel we give.

How We Work

We tell clients what they need to hear, not what is comfortable. We educate before we persuade. And we measure our work not by reports delivered, but by the quality of the decisions our clients are able to make.

Leadership

TranSec Advisory is led by its founder, and built to grow into an institution of senior advisors.

James Dey

Founder & Principal Advisor

James Dey founded TranSec Advisory on a single conviction: that cybersecurity is, at its core, an executive decision, and that the leaders making those decisions deserve a trusted advisor, not another vendor.

Across more than two decades inside highly regulated, high-consequence cybersecurity environments, he has guided executives and organizations through the decisions that matter most — where the risk is real, the scrutiny is intense, and the wrong call carries lasting cost.

What We Value
Judgment over noise
We give you the decision, not another dashboard.
Plain truth
We say what needs to be said, not what is comfortable.
Business first
Security serves the mission, not the other way around.
Quiet by design
The best advisors are discreet ones.
Rigor without theater
Real standards, never fear.

If you are weighing a decision that matters, we should talk.

Conversations are confidential and carry no obligation.
