Open a CaseProtecting What Matters Most When Disruption Becomes Inevitable
Today’s organizations face an increasingly complex threat landscape. A ransomware attack can halt operations overnight. Political instability can disrupt supply chains. Insider threats can expose sensitive information. A security incident can rapidly evolve into a reputational crisis that damages years of brand equity.
Sphere State Group helps organizations anticipate, withstand, and recover from financial, operational, and reputational threats through practical resilience strategies grounded in real-world experience. Our team has supported multinational corporations, financial institutions, nonprofits, investors, technology firms, and government organizations across Asia, North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
Led by resilience and investigations specialist Ilya Umanskiy, whose experience includes helping organizations navigate ransomware incidents, major investigations, critical infrastructure protection, executive security, and complex operational challenges, our approach focuses on enabling business success rather than creating unnecessary complexity.
Service 1: Fractional Chief Security Officer (CSO)
Executive-Level Security Leadership Without Full-Time Overhead
Many organizations recognize the need for senior security leadership but do not require or cannot justify a full-time Chief Security Officer.
Sphere State Group’s Fractional CSO service provides experienced executive security leadership on a flexible basis, giving organizations immediate access to strategic expertise without the costs associated with a permanent executive hire.
Fractional CSO responsibilities may include:
- Enterprise security strategy
- Security governance and policy development
- Board and executive reporting
- Vendor and technology oversight
- Crisis leadership
- Executive protection governance
- Third-party risk management
- Security budgeting
- Training and organizational development
- Regulatory and compliance support
Drawing upon decades of experience spanning corporate security, investigations, fraud risk, intelligence, resilience, and global operations, our team serves as a trusted advisor to executive leadership and boards.
Client Value
Organizations gain mature security leadership, independent strategic perspective, and practical implementation guidance while maintaining agility and cost efficiency.
Outcome: Stronger governance, improved decision-making, accelerated security maturity, and greater organizational resilience.
Service 2: Security Master Planning
Building Security That Enables Growth
Many organizations accumulate isolated security measures over time without a coherent strategy. The result is often unnecessary spending, inconsistent protection, operational friction, and unaddressed vulnerabilities.
Sphere State Group develops tailored Security Master Plans that align security investments with business objectives, operational requirements, and organizational risk tolerance.
Our approach examines:
- Physical and cyber security governance
- Regulatory and compliance expectations
- Protection of mission-critical assets
- Threat and vulnerability assessment
- Travel risk management
- Executive protection requirements
- Supply chain security
- Crisis readiness
Drawing on experience ranging from the redesign of security for the United Nations Headquarters to large-scale infrastructure, nonprofit, and multinational corporate environments, we help organizations design security ecosystems that are scalable, practical, and sustainable.
Client Value
Rather than implementing isolated controls, clients receive a long-term roadmap that prioritizes investments, eliminates gaps, and creates measurable improvements in resilience.
Outcome: Reduced risk exposure, better return on security investments, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced stakeholder confidence.
Service 3: Crisis Management
When Every Minute Matters
Crises rarely announce themselves in advance. Cyberattacks, workplace violence, product failures, executive misconduct, fraud allegations, geopolitical events, and supply chain disruptions can rapidly escalate from operational issues into existential business threats.
Sphere State Group helps organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from major incidents through structured crisis management programs and hands-on support during critical events.
Our capabilities include:
- Crisis management framework development
- Incident response planning
- Crisis simulation exercises
- Executive crisis leadership coaching
- Crisis communications coordination
- Stakeholder management support
- Post-incident investigations and lessons learned
- Business continuity integration
Client Value
Our objective is simple: reduce business impact. We help leadership teams make informed decisions under pressure, coordinate responses across functions, protect employees and assets, maintain stakeholder confidence, and restore operations as quickly as possible.
Having supported organizations through major incidents, including ransomware attacks and other high-impact events, we understand that resilience is measured not by whether a crisis occurs, but by how effectively an organization responds.
Outcome: Faster recovery, reduced financial losses, protected reputation, and improved organizational confidence.
Why Sphere State Group?

- Security
- Fraud risk management
