IAM, logging, network exposure, secrets, and cloud configuration reviewed and remediated when implementation is in scope.
Policies, procedures, control operation, and audit evidence brought into alignment with how the environment actually works.
Scoped offensive testing and technical validation tied to the roadmap—not a disconnected annual checkbox.

Most buyer questions, answered plainly.
A full-time CISO costs $250K to $400K fully loaded, takes 3-6 months to hire, and is often overqualified for Series A or early B companies. A virtual CISO gives you senior security leadership on demand, month-to-month. When you outgrow us, we help you hire the full-time CISO.
Choose Advisory when your team can execute and needs senior direction, Managed when you want us to own the security and compliance program, and Embedded when you need hands-on leadership inside your weekly operating cadence. We will confirm the fit on the discovery call.
Monthly billing remains available at the scoped monthly rate. If you choose annual billing, you receive a single invoice for 12 months and save 15% on the engagement. You can still cancel with 30 days notice, and the unused prepaid balance is refunded on a prorated basis.
