The release

The Pylon Group, an advisory and software studio for cybersecurity, technology, and AI, opens for business today with two products in market and a senior advisory practice already in the seat.

The advisory side embeds CISO-level and CIO-level operators into mid-market and PE-backed companies: vCISO and vCIO engagements, governance, risk and compliance, and AI engineering. Not strategy decks from people who leave before the regulator shows up. The operator stays through the work.

The software side ships what those engagements kept needing and never had. Scout monitors third-party risk continuously and maps the vendor graph underneath it, so a supplier outage resolves into a named blast radius instead of a scramble. Anvil carries technology and security across the M&A lifecycle, from pre-LOI screening through post-close integration, on one platform instead of four workbooks and a shared drive.

Pylon is built around that overlap. Advisory and software, on purpose, because the practitioner's view comes from the place where the two meet.

Dan Costantino · Founder, The Pylon Group

Both products came out of engagements rather than a roadmap workshop. Every feature shipped because something in a real program needed it and nothing on the market did the job. Command, the operating system for a security program, follows.
