Why 77 Spyglass

What You Get

Senior-Led

I scope and oversee every engagement personally. Offensive work is staffed with senior and principal-level researchers. Advisory, AI, and compliance work is direct. No junior analysts, no bait-and-switch.

Security + AI

I run offensive security programs and build agentic AI pipelines. Finding both in one person is uncommon. I offer both in one engagement.

Speed

No layers of project management between you and the work. Scoping to delivery in weeks.

Current

I went from Field CISO at Praetorian to building this practice. I advise on what I've operated against, not what I've read about.

Testimonials

What Colleagues Say

Chad has always possessed a rare combination of technical ability, business acumen and leadership skills. He is completely at ease when discussing complex technical solutions in a room full of engineers and security consultants. Concurrently, he can present these same technical concepts from a business development perspective in a C-Level forum.

Matt Getzelman Senior Director, Consulting Services

His bias for action and leadership skills were instrumental in streamlining our technical service operations and maintaining the quality of our security practice. His ability to dissect complex problems into manageable and discreet tasks made a significant impact on our and our customer's projects.

Chad Thunberg CISO, Yubico

Chad has a deep understanding of technology, but is capable of seeing the big picture. He understands information security strategy as well as he does information security technology, and knows when to focus on one over the other. It's a rare skill.
