Practitioner-grade security
judgment, when it matters.
Lion Consulere is a security advisory practice built on 25 years of hands-on operator experience. We help organizations design, assess, and mature the security programs that protect their people, facilities, and operations — and we build the tools to do it at scale.
Founded by a practitioner
Lion Consulere was founded by Ely Albalos, Ed.D., a security executive whose career has spanned law enforcement, Big Tech, and independent consulting.
Before founding Lion Consulere, Ely led global security programs at some of the most security-conscious companies in the world. He served as Global Lead for Detection and Response Programs at Google, Head of Global Security Operations at Cruise, Global Security Services Manager at Facebook, and Global Security Operations Manager at Apple. His security career began serving as a law enforcement officer in Silicon Valley.
That operator background is the foundation of every engagement. Lion Consulere doesn't recommend frameworks we haven't run. We don't design programs we haven't built. The advisory work reflects what actually holds up in the field.

Why Lion Consulere exists
Most organizations don't need a full-time security team. They need practitioner-grade judgment when it matters — a clear assessment, a defensible plan, and someone who has done the work before.
Lion Consulere fills that gap. We deliver the kind of security program design, risk assessment, and implementation support that used to require an in-house CSO or a six-figure engagement with a large firm — without the overhead, and without the guesswork.
Why we built SecureScore
After two decades of running assessments, one pattern kept repeating: the methodology was sound, but the tools were broken. Homegrown spreadsheets. Subjective scoring. Weeks of curating findings into reports nobody trusted.
We built SecureScore to fix it. Industry-backed question sets. Deterministic, weighted scoring. AI as an aid — not a replacement for practitioner judgment. It's the same methodology Lion Consulere uses in advisory work, now available as a platform for teams that want to run assessments themselves.
Lion Consulere is the advisory. SecureScore is the platform.
Same methodology, same standards, same founder.
