A Virtual CISO provides strategic security leadership including developing security policies, managing compliance programs, presenting to boards, overseeing incident response, and guiding security investments. You get C-level expertise without the $300K+ full-time salary.

Our packages range from 16-40 hours per month depending on your needs. Hours include strategic planning, team meetings, board presentations, compliance oversight, and on-demand consultation. Additional hours are available as needed.

No, a Virtual CISO complements your existing team by providing strategic leadership and expertise. They guide your IT staff, establish security programs, and handle executive-level responsibilities while your team manages day-to-day operations.

Companies with 50-500 employees typically benefit most. You're large enough to need strategic security leadership but not ready for a full-time CISO. We also serve larger companies needing specialized expertise or interim coverage.

Most Virtual CISO engagements begin within 1-2 weeks. We start with a security program assessment, then immediately begin addressing your most critical needs. There's no lengthy onboarding - we hit the ground running.

All Virtual CISO clients have access to emergency support. For active incidents, we coordinate response efforts, communicate with stakeholders, and guide your team through resolution. Incident response hours are tracked separately.

Yes, Virtual CISOs guide clients through HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other compliance certifications. We develop policies, implement controls, prepare for audits, and serve as your liaison with auditors.

Our Virtual CISO services are month-to-month after an initial 3-month commitment. Most clients engage us for 12-24 months to establish mature security programs, then scale back to advisory-only support.
