About the role
DGR is building the control layer enterprises will need as AI agents start taking real actions.
Agents are already writing, exporting, granting, deploying, and modifying systems. The problem is simple: existing controls often know what an agent can access, but not whether this specific action should be allowed in this specific context.
DGR sits in the execution path and enforces policy before the action happens.
We’re looking for a Fractional CISO to help us build the company and product with enterprise security credibility from day one.
You’ll help us answer the questions real buyers will ask:
• Would a CISO trust this in the execution path? • What evidence would Security, Compliance, and Audit need to see? • What must be true before a customer moves from shadow mode to enforcement? • How should DGR integrate with existing security architecture, SIEM, GRC, IAM, CI/CD, and cloud controls? • What risks will kill a deal in security review? • What does “non-bypassable” need to mean in practice?
You’ll advise on
• Enterprise security posture and product trust model • CISO-facing narrative and buyer conversations • Security review readiness • SOC 2 / ISO / AI governance evidence expectations • Deployment architecture: cloud, hybrid, VPC, on-prem • Control library priorities across access, data export, infra, OAuth, and payments • Risk language that security leaders will actually believe
Ideal background
• CISO, deputy CISO, security engineering leader, product security leader, or senior security advisor • Experience with enterprise SaaS, cloud security, DevSecOps, IAM, AppSec, AI security, or GRC • Strong understanding of how security buyers evaluate new infrastructure vendors • Comfortable advising an early-stage team before the playbook is written • Bonus: experience with AI agents, LLM applications, regulated industries, or security products sold to CISOs
