Executive security and technology leadership — embedded in your organization, at a fraction of the full-time cost.
A Virtual CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) or Virtual CTO (Chief Technology Officer) is a fractional executive who embeds in your organization — attending board meetings, building programs, reporting to leadership, and driving your security or technology agenda — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
For organizations that need executive-level security leadership but aren't ready for a $300K+ full-time hire, the vCISO/vCTO model delivers the same strategic value at a fraction of the cost. We become your security executive.
A multi-year security roadmap aligned to your business goals, risk appetite, and budget — built for your board, not just your security team.
Clear, business-language security reporting for your board, investors, and leadership team. We translate security into terms executives understand.
Oversight of your entire security program — policies, controls, vendors, incidents, and compliance — with consistent governance and accountability.
CTO-level guidance on technology architecture, tool selection, and technology roadmap — helping your team make better technology decisions.
Objective evaluation of security and technology vendors — procurement guidance, contract review, and ongoing vendor management.
Executive leadership during security incidents — coordinating response, communicating with stakeholders, and driving post-incident improvement.
Coaching and mentoring for your existing security and technology team — elevating their skills and building internal capability over time.
Executive ownership of your compliance posture — representing your organization with regulators, auditors, and customers.
Need a CISO for investor due diligence, customer security questionnaires, or SOC 2 — but can't justify a full-time hire. We're your CISO on day one.
You have a security team but lack senior leadership to set direction, communicate with the board, and own the program. We fill that gap.
Between full-time executive hires, going through a transition, or wanting an external perspective to challenge and elevate your existing team.
We immerse ourselves in your environment — current state, team, tools, risks, and business context. No generic playbooks.
Regular cadence of strategic work, team touchpoints, board reporting, and program management — calibrated to your needs.
Ongoing executive ownership — driving your security agenda, owning outcomes, and building internal capability for the long term.
Typically a monthly retainer with a defined scope of hours and responsibilities. We establish regular cadence meetings, board reporting schedules, and clear deliverables — so you always know what you're getting.
A consultant does a project and leaves. A vCISO is an ongoing executive — owning outcomes, building relationships, and providing continuity. We're embedded, not visiting.
Absolutely — we embed alongside your team and provide the senior leadership layer. We mentor your team, not replace them. Building internal capability is a key part of what we do.
Yes. As your virtual CISO, we can represent your security program with auditors, regulators, customers, and investors — attending meetings, answering questions, and owning the relationship.
