A CISO’s Judgment, Without a CISO’s Salary Line
As your business grows, so do the questions that don’t have obvious answers. Which compliance framework fits your organization? Which vendor risks matter most? What is your auditor asking you to prove? Unfortunately, nobody in the building is qualified to make the call. The obvious fix is hiring a CISO. The obvious problem is the price tag. Full-time CISO compensation in 2026 runs anywhere from roughly $250,000 to $700,000 in total comp, before you’ve even filled the seat. A Virtual CISO gets you that same judgment, without asking you to make that hire before you’re ready for it.
Virtual In Title. Very Real In Judgment

The Math Works In Your Favor
A fractional CISO engagement typically runs $36,000 to $144,000 a year (a fraction of what a full-time hire costs) for companies that need board-ready security and a clean compliance posture. If you’re not yet at the size where a full-time CISO makes sense, this is the version of that role that fits your budget.
We Don’t Show Up Once a Quarter and Disappear
We work with you on an ongoing basis. Our goal is to build and mature your security program, guide audit and compliance prep, weigh in on vendor and third-party risk, and be the person your team can call when a decision needs a real answer.

Compliance Gets Easier When Someone’s Steering It
Frameworks like PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 are hard to navigate cold, and harder still when whoever’s driving them is doing it alongside five other job titles. A vCISO turns compliance prep from a scramble into a plan. It translates what your specific requirement is asking for into a program your team can execute.
Sized to Where You Currently Are
An early-stage company chasing SOC 2 for the first time needs something different than a scaling company managing a growing vendor list and a board that’s started asking real questions. Our engagements are therefore not a one-size template stretched to fit but rather flexed to your size, maturity, and what you’re trying to solve

Every Big Security Decision Gets a Second Opinion
Security decisions don’t announce themselves. They show up as a new vendor, a new tool, another compliance requirement, or difficult questions from the board. What happens next usually determines whether you make a good call or an expensive one. A vCISO means you’re not making that call alone, and you’re not making it for the first time.
