I have an idea about how to find a real security expert.

Find somebody who has no firewall and essentially no packet filtering
and has run a publicly visible site for some years, but has had no
serious intrusions.

A challenge?  Yes.  To allow little or no outside access and maintain
security is quite easy -- it takes not much expertise.  To achieve the
same result with no real barrier between the world and you except the
inherent security of your internal machines and network -- that takes a
real expert to achieve.

(I don't claim to be such an expert.)
