Senior security leadership, on call. We build the roadmap, translate risk into board-ready language, and stay accountable to the outcomes so you don't have to hire a full-time CISO before you're ready.
Engagements are modular. Pick the pieces you need, scale up or down as the program matures.
A fractional CISO embedded with your leadership team. We own the security roadmap, chair your security committee, and represent the program to the board, customers, and regulators.
Go from ad-hoc to accountable. We design the full program: governance structure, policies, control ownership, metrics, and stand it up alongside your team.
A clear-eyed look at the risks that matter. We quantify what we can, narrate what we can't, and give leadership a ranked list of decisions they can actually act on.
Policies that people actually read and that auditors actually accept. We write them plainly, tie them to specific controls, and maintain a review cadence.
Preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC, or PCI DSS? We run the gap assessment, lead remediation, and sit alongside your team through the audit.
Translate technical reality into business language. We build the metrics, the narrative, and the quarterly deck and we'll present it for you if that helps.
We don't pick a framework to sell you. We pick the one that fits your risk, your customers, and your regulators.
A virtual (or fractional) CISO is an experienced security executive you engage on a part-time basis, typically 10–40 hours per month. You need one when security has outgrown your current leadership bandwidth but doesn't yet justify a full-time hire: often when you're going after enterprise customers, preparing for a compliance audit, or after a security incident forces the conversation.
Traditional consulting firms sell you a report and walk away. We embed. Our advisors attend your staff meetings, represent security in executive conversations, and stay accountable to outcomes, not just deliverables. You get named people with skin in the game, not a rotating bench.
That's the most common setup. We bring the strategy, framework expertise, and executive presence; your team owns the day-to-day execution. We operate as a force multiplier: writing the roadmap, reviewing the work, and representing the program upward, not a replacement for the people doing the work.
vCISO retainers scale with hours and scope. Most clients land in a predictable monthly range that's a fraction of a full-time CISO's loaded cost. Discrete projects like risk assessments or policy development are fixed-fee. We'll give you a firm number after a 30-minute scoping call, not a vague range.
Yes. We maintain your evidence library, answer SIG / CAIQ / custom questionnaires on your behalf, and sit in on customer security calls when a technical voice is helpful. For growing SaaS companies this is often one of the highest-ROI parts of the engagement.
One call to scope fit. We'll tell you honestly whether a vCISO is the right next step.
