vCISO

A security leader, without the full-time hire.

An experienced security leader on your team for a fixed monthly fee. We set the priorities, keep your IT provider and vendors honest, and tell leadership the truth about where you stand.

WHAT YOU GET

The job a full-time security leader would do, sized to you.

A plan you can follow

A prioritized security roadmap built from your real risks and your real contracts, not a generic framework. Reviewed and updated as things change.

Someone in the leadership meeting

Regular meetings with your leadership team, and plain-language reporting your board, owners or customers can actually read.

Oversight of your IT provider and vendors

We tell your IT team or provider what needs to happen, then check that it did. Same for the vendors who touch your data.

Policies and plans that match reality

Security policies, an incident response plan and the paperwork your contracts require, written for how you actually work and kept current.

Ready for the people who check

CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 readiness, the risk analysis healthcare rules require, customer security questionnaires, and supplier reviews.

A call to make when something goes wrong

Help making the decisions in the first hours of an incident: who to call, which reporting clocks have started, and what not to do.

WHO IT'S FOR

Too big to wing it. Too small for a full-time CISO.

Defense suppliers

Small and midsize companies that handle FCI or CUI, have CMMC or NIST SP 800-171 in their contracts, and don't have a security leader on staff.

Healthcare organizations

Practices, therapy clinics, billing and revenue cycle companies, and anyone else holding patient information who wants to be harder to hit, not just compliant.

Companies with demanding customers

If your customers keep sending security questionnaires or flowing their requirements down to you, you need someone who can answer them honestly and close the gaps.

WHAT IT ISN'T

The line we don't cross.

  • Not your IT provider. We don't reset passwords, patch servers or run your help desk.
  • Not hands-on remediation. We direct the work and verify it, which is what lets us check it honestly.
  • Not a tool reseller, a scanning service or a pen test shop. We have no product to push on you.

HOW IT STARTS

Four steps, no surprise invoices.

  1. 1

    Discovery call

    Thirty minutes, free. What you have, what your contracts and customers ask for, and whether we're the right fit.

  2. 2

    Discovery and risk review

    A short, structured look at your environment, your obligations and where your security stands today.

  3. 3

    A fixed monthly proposal

    Service level, meeting schedule, availability, deliverables, response times, and exactly what falls outside the retainer. No hourly meter.

  4. 4

    The first 90 days

    Your top risks named and ranked, a roadmap with owners and dates, and the first fixes underway with your team or provider.

GOOD TO KNOW

Questions we get.

Book a 30-minute call
How much does it cost?

It's a fixed monthly fee, tailored to you. It depends on how complex your environment is, the rules and contracts you have to meet, where your security stands today and how much access to us you need. You get a written proposal after the discovery and risk review, before you commit to anything.

Is it a bucket of hours?

No. You're paying for an agreed set of outcomes, meetings and response times, not a meter running in the background.

Can you work with our existing IT provider?

Yes, and we'd rather. They keep doing the hands-on work. We set the priorities, check the results and give leadership a straight answer about where things stand.

Who will we actually work with?

Jil Wright, a Lead CMMC Certified Assessor with a CISM. Not a rotating cast of junior consultants.

// READY WHEN YOU ARE

Is your security posture keeping you up at night?

Thirty minutes, no slide deck. Tell us what you're up against and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
