The process

How advisory works

Three steps. No guesswork. You leave with a plan you can execute.

Complete advisory intake

After booking, you complete a short intake so we can tailor the session to your goals, timeline, and current prep stage.

Book your session

Pick a time that fits your schedule. You'll get a confirmation email and calendar invite with the meeting link.

Leave with a clear plan

We focus on clarity, strategy, and next steps. You walk out with specific actions — not more overwhelm.

What we cover

Advisory is built for two things

Getting certified. Getting placed. Everything in the session supports one of those two outcomes.

Certification track

  • Certification strategy
  • Exam readiness
  • Retake planning
  • Study systems

Career track

  • Career pivots
  • Resume positioning
  • Interview prep
  • Role alignment
Questions

Frequently asked

If it's not here, use the contact form and we'll get back to you within 1 business day.

Is this coaching or consulting?

Advisory. It's a single focused session built around your specific situation — not ongoing coaching and not generic consulting. You come in with questions, we build a plan, you leave with next steps. If you need longer-term support, book a second session or ask about extended advisory during your call.

Do I need prior experience?

No prior cybersecurity or technical experience is required. Advisory sessions are designed to meet you where you are — whether you're exploring cybersecurity for the first time, pivoting careers, or deciding your next move after certification.

What happens after I book?

After booking:

→ You'll receive a confirmation email with your session details

→ You'll complete a short intake form so the session is tailored to your goals

→ You'll receive a calendar invite with the virtual meeting link

During your session, we focus on clarity, strategy, and next steps — not overwhelm.

What's your refund policy?

All advisory sessions are non-refundable once booked. If you need to reschedule, you may do so within the rescheduling window outlined in your booking confirmation.

Is DDI the same as Digital Defense Foundation?

No. DDI (Digital Defense Institute LLC) and DDF (Digital Defense Foundation) are legally and financially separate entities. Both share the Digital Defense brand, but DDI is a for-profit training entity and DDF is a Kansas nonprofit. Advisory sessions are a paid DDI service — not a DDF grant program.
