vCISO & Policy Consulting
Executive-level security leadership and governance, sized for organizations that don't need — or can't yet justify — a full-time CISO.
What's included
- Fractional / virtual CISO leadership and advisory retainers
- Security policy and procedure development (AUP, IR, access control, data handling, and more)
- Risk assessments and risk register development
- Framework alignment and CIS Controls implementation guidance
- Vendor/third-party risk review
- Security awareness program design
- Board and executive reporting on cyber risk
How engagements work
vCISO engagements are typically structured as an ongoing monthly retainer: a fixed amount of advisory time, a standing cadence of meetings with leadership, and defined deliverables such as a risk register, policy set, or compliance roadmap. Policy and risk-assessment work can also be scoped as a standalone project.
Good fit if you...
- Need security leadership but aren't ready for a full-time CISO hire
- Have to answer a customer security questionnaire or pursue a compliance framework
- Have no written security policy, or it hasn't been updated in years
- Need someone to translate technical risk into terms your board or leadership can act on
