Security program ownership
A named senior security leader responsible for your program, roadmap and risk decisions.
Service · Virtual CISO
Executive security leadership without a full-time hire
At some point a growing organization needs someone accountable for security decisions — not another tool. Clients demand questionnaires, insurers demand controls, and auditors demand evidence.
Our vCISO engagement gives you that accountable leader on a fractional basis: a documented security program, a roadmap with a budget, and someone who can sit in front of your board, your auditor or your largest customer.

vCISO FAQ
Questions we get most often
How is a vCISO different from managed IT?
Managed IT keeps systems running. A vCISO decides what risk you accept, what controls you invest in, and proves it to auditors, insurers and customers.
Do you support CMMC for defense suppliers?
Yes, including CMMC 2.0 Level 2 scoping, enclave design, POA&M development and GCC High migration.
How much time do we get?
Retainers are scoped in hours per month with a defined deliverable calendar, so you know exactly what arrives each quarter.
Can you work with our existing IT provider?
Yes. Many vCISO clients keep their current IT vendor; we set the requirements and verify the work.
