True CISO Leadership Without the Cost of a Full-time Executive.
Meet Brad Bielawski
I’m a seasoned CISO with firsthand experience leading enterprise and mid-market insurance companies through today’s rapidly evolving security, regulatory, and operational challenges. I bring true executive-level leadership grounded in years of owning the security, compliance, and risk outcomes of major insurance organizations.
I’ve navigated the exact pressures insurance carriers and distributors face—regulatory scrutiny, legacy technology, rising cyber risk, cost constraints, and the need to enable scalable growth. I’ve built and led high-performing security teams, aligned security strategy with business objectives, and established enterprise security programs anchored in industry-leading frameworks.
As a consultant, I help companies strengthen operational resilience, navigate high-impact cyber incidents, avoid regulatory penalties, and drive technology and process transformations that reduce cost while improving security and efficiency.
Because I’ve been in the CISO seat for the kinds of companies I now serve, I understand their realities—not in theory, but in practice. Whatever challenge your organization is facing, I’ve likely solved it firsthand and can deliver real, measurable value from day one.
Schedule a consultation with me to discuss your unique challenges.
