How I Work

A simple, non-alarmist process focused on behavior and clarity.

  1. Quick intake

    We clarify what matters to you and what’s changing — so we focus on signal, not noise.

  2. Review & risk clarity

    I map where you are today and separate what’s urgent from what can wait.

  3. Practical recommendations

    You get doable next actions — no overwhelm, no jargon-heavy checklists.

  4. Enablement

    Training and habits that stick — so your team stays confident and secure by default.

About

I’m Ashlie Stevens, a human-centered risk and security advisor. My work sits at the intersection of security, governance, and human decision-making — because most security problems don’t start with technology. They start when people are overloaded, rushed, or unsure what actually matters.

I’m Duke University–trained in health and well-being coaching, which informs how I think about stress, judgment, and cognitive load. I hold CompTIA Security+ as a baseline credential and focus on making security practical and accessible.

What You Can Expect
