What We Do

Strategy at the intersection of global threat and enterprise risk.

We work with leadership — security executives and business executives alike — to make security decisions that are grounded in the actual threat environment, not inherited assumptions or vendor agendas.

Threat Landscape Analysis

We assess the global and sector-specific threat environment relevant to your business — translating intelligence into a clear picture of what adversaries want, how they operate, and which of your assets are in scope.

Business Impact Mapping

We connect threat intelligence directly to your operations, revenue streams, and strategic objectives — so leadership understands not just what could happen, but what it would cost.

Posture Alignment

We evaluate your current security posture against the threats most relevant to your organization and deliver a prioritized roadmap to close the gaps that matter — without overspending on the ones that don't.

Security Program Design

Build or reshape a security program that reflects your risk profile, regulatory environment, and organizational capacity — governed with clear accountability and designed to evolve.

Governance & Board Advisory

We help security leaders communicate risk to board members and business executives in terms that drive decisions — and help boards ask the questions that keep organizations accountable.

Incident Preparedness

Structured preparedness planning — response playbooks, executive tabletop exercises, and crisis communication frameworks — grounded in the threat scenarios most likely to affect your organization.

Our Approach

From global intelligence to enterprise decision.

Security strategy fails when it's built in isolation from the threat environment. Carderock's methodology begins outside your organization — in the global landscape — and works inward to your specific exposure, operations, and posture.

Read the Landscape

We continuously monitor and synthesize global threat intelligence — geopolitical, sector-specific, and adversarial — and filter it for relevance to your industry and business model.

Define Your Exposure

We map the threat landscape to your specific operations — identifying which threats are credible, which assets are attractive targets, and where your current posture has meaningful gaps.

Quantify Business Impact

Risk without business context is noise. We translate threat scenarios into operational and financial terms that leadership can evaluate and prioritize alongside other strategic decisions.

Align and Act

We deliver clear recommendations to align your security posture to the threats that matter most — and work with your team to build the capability to sustain that alignment over time.

Why It Matters

Most security programs are built around yesterday's risk.

Organizations tend to inherit security programs shaped by past incidents, vendor relationships, and compliance requirements. The result is posture that doesn't reflect the current threat environment — or the strategic direction of the business.

Carderock re-anchors security investment to the threats your organization actually faces, ensuring leadership can allocate resources with confidence.

Bill Moore

President, Carderock Company

Bill Moore has spent more than two decades advising C-suite and board leadership on the strategic dimensions of security — helping organizations understand not just the technical landscape, but what it means for how they operate, invest, and compete.

Before founding Carderock, Bill co-founded Obsidian Analysis, a homeland security consultancy he helped grow from four people to over 100 before its acquisition by The Cadmus Group. He subsequently brought that same builder's instinct to BCG, and later to Krebs Stamos Group — a firm acquired by SentinelOne — where he led the PinnacleOne Security Advisory practice, directing enterprise cybersecurity transformation engagements for Fortune 500 and global enterprise clients across healthcare, aviation, financial services, and beyond.

Earlier in his career, Bill supported the Department of Homeland Security's landmark Quadrennial Homeland Security Review and advised on some of the federal government's most consequential resilience and cyber preparedness initiatives. Most recently, he served as Senior Strategic Consultant to CISA's large-scale agency transformation effort, reporting directly to its Deputy Director.

Bill holds a Master of Arts in International Relations from Johns Hopkins SAIS and a Bachelor of Arts from Rice University. He is based in the Washington, DC area.
