How it works

From gap to embedded expert

  1. 01

    Define the gap

    We start with the outcome you need — a control to implement, a project to deliver, a role to cover — and translate it into the expertise required, the certifications that matter, and the time commitment.

  2. 02

    Match the expert

    We match the requirement to a Passeca expert with the right specialism and credentials — CISSP or CISA for GRC, OSCP/OSEP for offensive security, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, cloud or IAM specialists — so the fit is exact.

  3. 03

    Embed & deliver

    The expert embeds with your team under your direction, with Passeca's wider bench and platforms behind them. You get senior capability immediately, without a hiring cycle.

  4. 04

    Scale or hand back

    Engagements scale up or down as your needs change — cover a leave, finish a project, or transition to a managed service when the work is done. No long-term headcount commitment.

The difference

A bench behind every expert

An embedded Passeca expert is never working alone — the wider Passeca team and platforms stand behind them.

Unlike an independent contractor, a Passeca expert draws on the whole firm: other specialists to consult, the Passeca platforms (PassIRP, PassAI-Guard, Signals) where relevant, and proven methodologies from across hundreds of engagements. You get one expert's hands with a firm's depth behind them.

See the Passeca team page for the credentials and experience behind the bench.

Time & cost

How long and how much?

Engagements run from a few days a month to a full-time secondment, over weeks or years. Pricing is by the day or a monthly retainer for a defined commitment, scaled to seniority and specialism.

FAQ

Security experts on demand, answered

The questions organisations ask before augmenting their security team.

What is security experts on demand?

Passeca experts hold recognised certifications including CISSP, CISA and ISO 27001 Lead Auditor for governance and compliance, OSCP, OSEP and OSWE for offensive security, CEH, and cloud and vendor certifications. We match the credential to your requirement.
When should we use experts on demand instead of a managed service?
Use experts on demand when you need specific capability for a defined outcome — implementing a control, delivering a project, covering a leave — rather than ongoing operation. For continuous monitoring and response, a managed service like SOC-as-a-Service or MDR is usually more cost-effective.
