Executive security leadership, right when you need it
You get a virtual chief information security officer who sets your strategy, reports to your board, and drives your security program, without the cost of a full time hire. We support regulated and growing firms across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Senior security leadership, right sized for your firm
You may not need a full time CISO, but you do need someone accountable for security strategy, risk, and compliance at the leadership level. Our vCISO gives regulated and growing firms that seat, setting direction, prioritizing investment, and translating cyber risk into language your partners and board understand.
It is executive grade security leadership on a fractional model: strategy, governance, and roadmaps from a seasoned security leader, backed by our team to execute. You get the maturity of an enterprise security program at a fraction of a six figure salary.

vCISO questions, answered
What is a vCISO and how is it different from a full time CISO?
A virtual CISO delivers the same executive security leadership, strategy, governance, risk, and board reporting, on a fractional, on demand basis. You get seasoned leadership sized to your needs without a six figure salary and benefits.
How much does a vCISO cost compared to hiring one?
A full time CISO in the tri-state area often costs $200k or more in salary alone. Our fractional model gives you the leadership you need for a predictable monthly fee, typically a fraction of that, scaled to your size and risk.
Do we still need a full time CISO if we have a vCISO?
Most small and mid sized firms do not. A vCISO covers strategy, compliance, and governance, and our team handles execution. If you eventually outgrow the model, we help you build the case and transition.
Will a vCISO help with our compliance and audits?
Yes. Providing leadership across FTC Safeguards, NYDFS 500, PCI, and SHIELD is core to the role, setting the program, owning the documentation, and representing security to auditors, clients, and your board.
