Core Service

vCISO Services: executive security leadership without the executive salary.

How it works

Most mid-market companies need executive security leadership long before they can justify a full-time chief information security officer. Our vCISO service fills that gap. You get a seasoned security executive who sets strategy, stands up governance, and delivers board-ready reporting, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. Because compliance is our depth, your vCISO connects security strategy directly to the frameworks your customers and regulators expect, from CMMC and NIST to SOC 2 and HIPAA. You get the leadership, the accountability, and the reporting a board wants to see, without the executive salary.

What you get

  • A seasoned security executive setting strategy and priorities
  • Governance, policy, and risk management stood up and maintained
  • Board-ready reporting that translates risk into business terms
  • Security strategy connected directly to your compliance obligations
  • Leadership continuity as your program and your team mature

FAQ

vCISO Services questions, answered.

What does a vCISO actually do day to day? +

Sets security strategy, runs governance and risk management, guides the roadmap, and reports to leadership and the board. It is executive leadership on a fractional basis.

How is this different from hiring a full-time CISO? +

You get the same caliber of leadership without the executive salary, and you can scale the engagement up or down as your needs change.

Does the vCISO connect to compliance work? +

Directly. Compliance is our origin, so your vCISO ties security strategy to CMMC, NIST, SOC 2, and HIPAA rather than treating them separately.

Will the vCISO manage our security vendors? +

Yes, and because we are vendor-neutral, that oversight stays independent of the tools you buy.

How do we start? +

With a conversation and a complimentary technology review of your current security posture and priorities.
