Introducing INP²: Information Needs Processing and Protection

Information Needs Processing and Protecting

The $4.88 Million Communication Gap

The average cost of a data breach in 2024 is $4.88 million, according to IBM.

But when executives hear this number, the questions start flying:

What does this actually mean for our business?

Is that fines, contract award fees?

Response costs?

The cost to rebuild?

Was it preventable?

Did we accept this risk because we didn't understand it?

Here's the problem: Their company was actually at risk, but the urgency never made it past the acronyms.

The Disconnect I've Witnessed

After years in IT, cybersecurity, and compliance, I've watched this disconnect play out over and over:

→ Brilliant security teams speaking in language executives don't understand→ Senior leadership nodding along, making high-stakes decisions on resource allocations, budgets, and hiring with consequences they don't fully grasp→ Preventable operational challenges, fines, and delays happening anyway

The problem isn't that executives don't care about cybersecurity.

It's that no one's translated it into terms they can act on, consistently.

Why I Founded INP²

That's why I founded INP² — Information Needs Processing and Protection.

We sit at the intersection of cybersecurity expertise and executive clarity because that's where some of the biggest risks (and missed opportunities) live.

What INP² Does:

✅ Turn technical threats into plain-English risk assessments

✅ Create leadership briefings that drive informed decisions

✅ Help leaders ask sharper questions to get the answers they need

✅ Bridge the gap between the technical and the non-technical

Who We Serve:

Executives and senior leaders who need to understand cyber risk without becoming cybersecurity experts. If you've ever sat through a security briefing thinking, "I hope someone else is tracking this..." You're exactly who I built this for.

Why This Matters Now

Because today, cybersecurity isn't just an IT issue. It's:

• A strategic business enabler and continuity strategy

• A compliance and reputational risk

• A lever for trust, revenue, credibility, and growth
  

The stakes are too high for miscommunication.

Moving Forward Together

I'm building INP² to ensure business leaders have the insight, tools, and language to protect what matters most.

What's the biggest challenge you face bridging the gap between security and strategy?

Let's close that gap — together.
