FAQ
A virtual CISO (vCISO) gives you a named senior security lead on a part time basis. It suits organisations that are too small to justify a full time CISO but still have customers, regulators or insurers asking hard questions. Ours typically covers a security roadmap, policy ownership and quarterly reporting to the executive or board.
Essential Eight, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and CPS 234 are the ones we see most. We start with a gap analysis against the framework you need, then help close the gaps and prepare the evidence an auditor or client will ask for.
Yes, across web applications, APIs, cloud environments and internal networks. You get a report that separates what needs fixing now from what can wait, written so that both your engineers and your management can act on it.
Yes. Most breaches start with a person, not a firewall, so we run awareness training and phishing simulations that go out to staff on a regular schedule rather than as a once a year event. You get reporting on who clicked and who reported, which is what auditors and insurers now ask for.
Penetration tests, gap analyses and awareness training programs are quoted as a fixed price once we have scoped the environment, so there are no surprises. A vCISO is a monthly subscription. Where you need a security specialist embedded in your team for a period, that is time and materials.
That is most of our mid market work. For organisations of roughly 25 to 200 staff we offer fixed price and subscription options that combine awareness training, regular health checks and a vCISO, so you get coverage without hiring.
