An independent advisory practice for organizations navigating AI and security. DV8 has done the work of vetting the market.
25 years in cybersecurity — and no vendor holding the leash.
From governance and compliance to implementation strategy, DV8 helps organizations move on AI with confidence — without the risk of getting it wrong or falling behind the regulatory curve.
DV8 manages vendor relationships, cuts through the noise in the security market, and connects you with solutions that fit your environment — not whoever is paying the highest commission.
Some clients know exactly what they need. Most don't — and that's fine. DV8 starts with the problem, not a service menu.
You should not have to manage 12 vendor conversations, sit through demos you didn't ask for, and make a six-figure decision in 30 days. DV8 does the filtering, runs the evaluation, and stays in your corner through the contract.
AI regulations are not hypothetical anymore. NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, and emerging US frameworks create real obligations. DV8 helps you understand what applies, build the policies that satisfy it, and stay ahead of what's coming.
1,800 vendors — scored, compared, and mapped to your stack. The tool DV8 uses, and the tool DV8 gives its clients. Research vendors, compare solutions side by side, map your existing stack, and track the threat landscape — without talking to a sales rep.
Every engagement starts the same way — DV8 listens. Everything else follows from what it actually hears.
Understand your business, your team, your current vendors, and where the friction actually is. No intake forms, no pre-built frameworks.
Map the landscape — the vendor market, the regulatory environment, or the AI opportunities specific to your operations. Clarity before commitment.
Make the right introductions, manage the relationships, build the frameworks, advise on strategy. Paperwork in days, not weeks.
Not project work that ends with a deliverable. DV8 stays engaged and evolves with you as your needs change.
Most people you talk to have a quota, a preferred vendor, or a service package to sell. DV8 doesn't.
DV8 doesn't get paid to push any one vendor. Referral relationships are structured so the incentive is always finding the right fit — not the fastest close. That's rare in this industry. Use it.
AI governance. Security vendor selection. Compliance programs. Strategic advisory. Most engagements touch more than one — and DV8 makes them work together.
No onboarding processes, no account teams, no kickoff decks. Direct access from day one. Vendor paperwork structured and signed in days.
DV8 doesn't take over your program. It works alongside your team — answering questions, managing relationships, and making sure the decisions you make are informed ones.
Tell DV8 what's going on. You'll get a straight answer within one business day on whether and how it can help.
