Keep your locations connected, plan technology spending, and strengthen security with experienced leadership and hands-on delivery. Mercury Rising Security helps you understand what needs attention, decide where to invest, and carry improvements through implementation.
Led by Christopher Fraser, a technology and network leader with 25+ years of enterprise experience.
Proof points reflect Christopher's career experience, including roles before Mercury Rising Security.
We work with organizations that run multiple locations, rely on connectivity to operate, are dealing with growing infrastructure complexity, or don't have senior technical leadership in-house. Distributors, manufacturers, healthcare groups, hospitality operators, and professional services firms often recognize themselves here.
Recurring outages, expansion plans, uneven service across locations, or technology pulling leadership's attention away from the business. We help keep operations running and make technology support your plans.
Unexpected spending, aging equipment, proposals that are hard to compare, or a major investment decision. We help you establish priorities, understand the tradeoffs, and plan spending.
An overloaded team, a difficult migration, a skills gap, or inconsistent infrastructure. We add experienced leadership and engineering capacity to get the work finished.
Unclear dependencies, disconnected systems, security gaps, or transition deadlines. We build a practical transition plan and coordinate the people and vendors who carry it out.
The goal is technology that supports the business, not a pile of equipment to manage. Here is what our clients typically want to change.
Reduce the interruptions that affect employees, customers, and daily operations through reliable connectivity, wireless, resilient designs, monitoring, and recovery planning.
Replace reactive purchases with a practical plan: assessments, roadmaps, lifecycle planning, budgets, and objective vendor evaluation.
Address exposure while supporting how people actually work, using segmentation, firewalls, secure remote access, Zero Trust principles, and SASE where they fit.
Coordinate dependencies and reduce disruption with discovery, integration and separation planning, migrations, testing, and cutovers.
Add leadership and delivery capacity where internal resources are stretched: fractional leadership, complex engineering, automation, documentation, and knowledge transfer.
Options and tradeoffs explained in plain language, so leadership can decide with confidence and the technical team can still verify the details.
Four service groups, each covering the full path from assessment through implementation. Automation supports all of them.
Experienced guidance on technology priorities, spending, vendors, and infrastructure decisions. Includes roadmaps, lifecycle and refresh plans, budget recommendations, and fractional leadership for an agreed scope and schedule.

Learn more →A clear view of your exposure and a practical plan to improve protection: security assessments, prioritized remediation, access controls, segmentation, firewall improvements, and secure remote access.
Learn more →For organizations opening locations, integrating acquired operations, separating infrastructure, or undertaking major migrations. Discovery, transition planning, vendor coordination, implementation, and handoff.
Learn more →Christopher works with your leadership on priorities, budgets, and risk, then works directly with engineers and vendors to deliver the plan. That means fewer handoffs and continuity from the first assessment through implementation.
Turn scattered needs into a prioritized plan with budgets and sequencing your leadership can act on.
Review vendor and integrator proposals against your requirements, so you know what you are buying and what you are not.
Plan, test, and run the change with your team and vendors, with a clear owner for every step.
Step into the difficult issue and troubleshoot it hands-on, rather than only writing a report about it.
Finish with documentation and knowledge transfer your internal team can use after the engagement ends.
Examples from Christopher's career showing how planning and delivery come together. Client names are withheld.
A distributed distributor with mismatched equipment at every branch moved to consistent security, SD-WAN, and centralized management across all 23 locations.

We learn your business needs, your locations, and how the current environment actually behaves.
We separate what is urgent from what can wait, and explain the tradeoffs in plain language.
A practical plan with scope, sequencing, budget guidance, and clear responsibilities.
Hands-on implementation and testing, coordinated with your team and vendors.
Documentation and knowledge transfer, with optional ongoing advisory support.
Tell us about the situation, whether that is recurring outages, an upcoming move, or a proposal you are unsure about, and we will help you work out the next step.
