About Us

Proven leadership across technology, cybersecurity, compliance & M&A

Digital Protection & Resilience

We help organizations prevent, detect, and respond to security incidents and data breaches. Our team runs assessments, builds security programs, and implements the frameworks and tooling that keep working as you grow.

Business & Strategy Consulting

We advise on operating model, cost structure, and growth decisions, then stay to implement them. That includes technology strategy, process design, and the management work that turns a plan into results.

M&A and Transaction Advisory

We support buyers and sellers across the deal cycle: due diligence, quality of earnings, carve-outs and divestitures, TSA negotiation, and post-merger integration. Findings get priced into the deal, not filed as observations.

Technology and Data Engineering

Our engineers build the systems, not just the recommendations. Data platforms, pipelines, and governed foundations on Databricks and Palantir Foundry, delivered by the same firm that secures and audits them.
Why Us

Senior practitioners across technology, security, and transactions

Tailored Cybersecurity Solutions

We run assessments, security audits, threat detection, and incident response, then implement controls sized to your organization and revisited as it scales.

Audit Readiness with Confidence

BD Emerson helps organizations prepare for and navigate  SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001, HIPAA and other compliance audits with clarity and precision. We identify gaps, align controls, and streamline the path to certification so you can meet regulatory demands with confidence and minimal disruption.

Strategy-Driven Technology Implementation

We start from your business objectives and current gaps, then design and implement the technology to close them. The measure of success is operational: faster processes, lower run cost, fewer manual steps.

Governed AI Adoption

We help organizations put AI into production and keep it defensible. Use-case prioritization, the data foundations underneath, explicit limits on what models may do, and alignment to ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act. Strategy and delivery from one team, so the roadmap survives implementation.

Certificates

Our accreditations

At BD Emerson, we believe that our team's extensive certifications not only set us apart but also ensure that we provide the highest level of service to our clients.

We had a hard time finding the right company to partner with in support of our compliance journey. Some vendors sell the idea that they do the work, but then you end up doing everything. The ambiguity is what killed our last project. BD Emerson’s team has such great technical knowledge and understands the standard so well that they made us comfortable with moving fast. This has led to us closing major enterprise customers that were previously out of reach because of security and compliance.

Tom Watkins

CEO @ AMI AssetTrack

Lead an enterprise initiative to overhaul the organization's technology stack from ecommerce, corporate tech, and corporate security.

Supported ISO 42001 exercise and served as internal auditor.

Rubrik's privacy and compliance team began with the backbone of BD Emerson. BD Emerson supported building out the privacy program, GRC (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP), and the appsec function.

We needed a partner who could move quickly, without sacrificing precision. BD Emerson brought the expertise, structure, and speed we were looking for. Their team became an extension of ours, embedding themselves across the organization, guiding us step by step, and giving us confidence in areas we hadn’t tackled before. The internal audit they conducted was so detailed that even the external auditors called it out. Achieving ISO 27001 with zero nonconformities says everything you need to know about the quality of the partnership.
