50% off the Strategic vCISO retainer for 12 months
Strategic vCISO at $2,500/mo (was $5,000). Locked from sign date for one full year, regardless of any list-price changes during that window. Embedded vCISO is custom-scoped and negotiated case-by-case for cohort members.
$500 SOC 2 Sprint (saves $2,000)
The 2-week kickoff Sprint at one fifth the public price. Same scope: gap analysis, policy inventory, light pentest, exec readout, pre-audit confidence.

Common questions
What happens at month 13?
Year two continues at the then-current Strategic vCISO list rate ($5,000/mo today) or you cancel. We open a renewal conversation 60 days before your founder rate expires so you can decide on a full stomach. No auto-rollover gotchas. Most founding clients stay because the program has paid for itself by then; if it has not, that is a real signal and we want you to walk.
Can I still cancel any time?
Yes. Month-to-month with 30 days notice remains the default for the full 12 months. Founder pricing is a discount, not a commitment. If we are not pulling our weight in a given month, you should not pay for it.
What if you raise list prices during my founder year?
Founding clients keep their original $2,500 or $5,000 rate for 12 months, period. If list prices rise during that window, your rate stays put. If anything, your year-two negotiation gets easier because you were grandfathered through the increase.
Does the $500 Sprint include the pentest?
Yes. Same scope as the public $2,500 Sprint: gap analysis, policy inventory, light pentest on your app, findings workshop, exec readout, and a retainer proposal if it makes sense.
What does 'case study rights' mean?
After 90 days in retainer, we write a short case study describing the engagement. You review and approve the exact copy before it goes live. If you prefer anonymized (e.g., 'Series A healthtech company, 45 employees'), that is fine.
Are the founder slots first-come, first-served?
We review applications in the order received. Fit matters more than order, so if a later application is obviously the wrong match and an earlier one is a perfect fit, we give the earlier one the slot.
