IT strategy for energy operations — field to office.

Energy operations spread data across remote sites, field devices, and the corporate network — and the sector sits squarely in attackers’ sights. I set the security and technology direction that keeps field operations connected and defensible. Fractional CIO leadership for Oklahoma energy and oil & gas firms.

Field operations connected and defensible.

Energy IT lives or dies at the edge — the remote site, the field device, the link back to the office. Here is what owning that looks like.

Field sites connected & secured
Remote locations and field devices brought onto a plan that keeps them working and keeps them defensible.
A posture that holds up
A security program built for a sector that is a named target — with the evidence to prove it to insurers and partners.
Vendors and spend under control
The contracts, connectivity, and tools that pile up across an energy operation — consolidated and held accountable.

The risk lives at the edge.

Energy operations are dispersed by nature, and that is exactly where technology and security tend to thin out.

01

Remote sites, thin security

Field locations get stood up to keep production moving, not to pass a security review. The gaps add up fast.

02

Energy is a named target

Critical-infrastructure sectors are squarely in attackers’ sights. “Too small to target” has not been true for years.

03

Field tech and corporate IT drift apart

Field systems and the corporate network evolve separately until no one owns the whole picture — or the risk between them.

Multi-site infrastructure is what I do.

Dispersed operations and independent security review are not new ground for me — they are most of my career.

28 years across dispersed sites

Multi-site infrastructure across 7 locations in 5 states — keeping far-flung operations connected, supported, and defensible.

An independent verifier

Vendor-neutral, nothing to sell. I have led independent security assessments since the early 2000s — my job is to verify the posture actually holds, not to sell you tools.

Strategic IT leadership for energy operations.

I sit above the support layer and own the decisions that keep field and corporate working as one.

Field + corporate IT roadmap

One technology plan that spans remote sites and the corporate office — connectivity, devices, and the systems that tie them together.

Cybersecurity & risk

A risk register and security posture built for an energy threat model, with incident-response readiness and cyber-insurance alignment.

Vendor & contract management

Connectivity, field tools, and software vendors selected, negotiated, and held accountable — in your name, no markup.

Compliance readiness + cloud

Gap analysis and remediation for the standards your partners expect, plus Microsoft 365 and cloud architecture done right.
