What Your vCISO Owns

Not an advisor on retainer — a named security executive accountable for the program.

Strategic Roadmap & Budget Planning

A defensible multi-year security roadmap tied to business objectives and a budget you can actually take to the CFO.

Board & Executive Risk Reporting

Quarterly board-ready reporting that translates security posture into risk, spend, and trend — in the language executives want.

Compliance Program Ownership

End-to-end ownership across CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, and ISO 27001 — from gap analysis to sustained audit-readiness.

Vendor & Third-Party Risk Management

Third-party risk tiering, security questionnaires, and vendor review cadence built into your program.

Incident Response Leadership & Tabletops

IR plan ownership, executive tabletop exercises, and on-call leadership when a real incident hits.

AI Governance Advisory

Practical AI risk, acceptable-use, and model-governance guidance so your business can adopt AI without the security team blocking every launch.
