How a Virtual CISO can transform your security posture.

What is a Virtual CISO ?
A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer provides strategic security leadership on a flexible, cost-effective basis
A vCISO acts as your external security executive, providing strategic direction, policy development, and program management without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Perfect for SMBs, startups, and growth-stage companies that need enterprise-grade security leadership.

Our vCISO Engagement Models
We offer three engagement tiers based on leadership depth, execution needs, and business risk.

This tier provides strategic oversight and executive decision support—so security stops being guesswork.
What you get:
Executive-level security risk visibility
Monthly leadership security sessions
Business-aligned risk assessments (not technical noise)
Policy and governance guidance without bureaucracy
Compliance readiness roadmap (ISO, SOC 2, DPDPA, etc.)
Vendor and third-party risk perspective
Quarterly executive security reporting
Outcome:
Leadership knows what matters, what doesn’t, and what to do next.
vCISO Advisory
vCISO Strategy & Execution
Best for: Scaling companies that need a security program built, run, and improved, not just advised.

Everything in Advisory, plus:
Security program design aligned to business growth
Incident response planning before something breaks
Security awareness that changes behavior
Clear metrics and KPIs leadership understands
