You already have a CISO's workload. You just don't have the CISO.

The questionnaire from a prime. The risk nobody wants to accept in writing. The insurer's renewal form. The board asking whether you're covered. Those questions arrive whether or not anyone's job is to answer them — and right now they land on you, or on whoever runs IT.

A named practitioner who knows your environment, your contracts and your customers, on a monthly retainer.

What lands on their desk
Security and compliance strategy
Risk decisions you can defend
Policy and program ownership
Customer and prime questionnaires
Incident command
Board and leadership reporting
Not advice you then have to act on. Ownership.

The decisions don't wait for you to hire someone.

A full-time CISO is a quarter-million-dollar commitment, and at your size there isn't enough work to justify one — but there's far too much to leave unowned. So it gets absorbed by people who already have jobs, in the gaps between their real ones.

It lands on IT, or on you Your IT lead is good at keeping things running. That's a different skill from deciding what risk the business will accept — and it isn't fair to either of you.
Nobody owns the answer A prime sends a 200-line questionnaire. Whoever has time fills it in, nobody checks whether it's true, and it becomes a commitment you didn't know you made.
Risk gets accepted by default Decisions made by not deciding are still decisions — they just have no rationale behind them when someone asks why, and no record that anyone weighed the tradeoff.
What's missing isn't hours. It's a named person with the authority and the judgment to decide. And to stand behind the decision when a prime, an auditor or an insurer asks how you got there.

The desk everything lands on.

Not advice you then have to act on. Ownership — the decisions get made, written down and defended, and you find out about them in a monthly report instead of in an audit.

WHAT THAT COVERS
One line we don't cross

Your senior official signs your affirmation. That responsibility sits with your company and can't be outsourced to us or anyone else. What we do is make sure that when they sign, the evidence behind it actually holds — and that they understand exactly what they're attesting to.

A person, on a retainer, who actually shows up.

Sized to how much of this you need, and scoped on the work rather than a seat count. What you're buying is judgment and accountability — the tooling underneath stays with you or your IT partner.

A named practitioner, not a queue
The same person every month, who learns your contracts and your environment. You have their calendar and their number — escalation isn't a form you fill in.
A running cadence
Regular working sessions plus a monthly report. Reviews, risk assessments, training and affirmations sit on a calendar someone else is watching — so nothing arrives as a surprise.
Decisions in writing
Every risk accepted, every scope call, every exception — recorded with the reasoning at the time. That record is what turns a judgment call into a defensible one two years later.
Someone who answers externally
Questionnaires, customer security reviews, insurer renewals and assessor walkthroughs handled by the person who actually knows the answers — not routed back to you.
Reporting your board can read
Where you stand, what changed, what it cost and what's next — in language a non-technical owner or board can act on without a translator.

Right for some companies. Wrong for others.

A vCISO fits when the decisions have outgrown the person currently making them — typically somewhere between 10 and 200 people, with contracts that carry real security obligations and no one whose actual job this is. Pick what's sitting on your desk right now.

WHAT'S UNANSWERED TODAY?

When it isn't the right call

If you already have a security leader, you don't need us in that seat — you may just want the program underneath, which is what the Compliance App is for.

And if what you actually need is one specific thing done, a scoped engagement will cost you less than a retainer. We'll say so.

See what having one would change.

Bring the questions currently sitting unanswered — the questionnaire, the renewal, the risk nobody wants to sign off — and we'll show you how they'd get handled. Including whether a retainer is more than you need.
