Overview
Growing companies need security leadership long before they can justify a full-time Chief Information Security Officer. Customers ask hard questions, auditors want evidence, boards want assurance — and someone needs to set priorities.
Our vCISO service provides an experienced security leader for a defined number of days per month. Your vCISO assesses your current posture, builds a risk-based roadmap, owns security policies and governance, leads compliance programmes such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, answers customer security questionnaires and reports progress to leadership and the board.
Because the vCISO is backed by our offensive, SOC and GRC teams, strategy turns into execution quickly.

Frequently asked questions
How much time does a vCISO spend with us?
Engagements are typically a set number of days per month, adjusted to your stage and priorities.
Can the vCISO answer customer security questionnaires?
Yes. Supporting sales with questionnaires, calls and trust documentation is a common vCISO responsibility.
When should we hire a full-time CISO instead?
Usually when security needs daily executive attention or a large team to lead. A vCISO can help you define and hire that role.
