vCISO & Security Advisory Services

Executive-level cybersecurity guidance without the executive salary. Our vCISO services give you access to experienced security leadership that helps you build strategy, develop programs, and make smart security decisions at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

The Challenge

You Need Security Leadership, Not Just Technical Support

Growing businesses reach a point where they need more than IT support or tactical security tools. They need strategic guidance from someone who can see the big picture, align security with business objectives, and help leadership make informed decisions.

But hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer costs $150,000-$300,000+ per year. For most growing businesses, that's not realistic.

A virtual CISO gives you executive-level security leadership at a fraction of the cost.
