Hands-On vCISO

Hands-On vCISO Or Advisory, If You Prefer

Most clients choose Hands-On: we build, run, and pass your audit end-to-end. Advisory is lighter-touch — we coach your team while they execute. All engagements delivered as your independent contractor on 3, 6, 9, or 12-month contracts — at a fraction of a full-time CISO's $200K+ salary.
