Full CISO Capability, Fractional Cost

Everything a full-time CISO does — security strategy, board communication, incident response leadership, and team development — delivered as a service.

🗺️

Security Roadmap

A 12–24 month security roadmap aligned to your business objectives, risk tolerance, and budget. Prioritized initiatives with clear ROI justification — not a wish list.

🏛️

Security Strategy Architecture

Design and implementation guidance for Security Strategy — identity verification, network segmentation, least-privilege access, and continuous validation. Built for your actual environment.

🚨

Incident Response Planning

Custom IR playbooks, escalation trees, and communication templates. Tabletop exercises that test your team against realistic ransomware, BEC, and data breach scenarios.

📊

Board-Level Reporting

Monthly or quarterly security briefings written for business leaders — not engineers. Risk posture, threat landscape, key metrics, and investment justification in plain language.

Security Awareness Training

Role-based training programs, phishing simulations, and measured behavior change campaigns. We track click rates, completion rates, and report-rate improvements over time.

🤝

Vendor & M&A Due Diligence

Security assessment of acquisition targets, key vendors, and technology partners. Cyber due diligence reports with clear risk ratings and integration recommendations.

vCISO FAQ

Your IT team keeps systems running. A CISO owns security strategy, risk governance, compliance posture, and security culture. They translate technical risk into business language, manage regulatory exposure, and ensure your security investments align with your actual threat landscape — not just your vendor's sales pitch.
Yes. We regularly represent clients in customer security questionnaires, enterprise security review calls, PCI assessments, compliance audits, and board meetings. On Full Advisory engagements, Ruphin Matala can attend as your named CISO.
We integrate into your existing workflows — Slack, Teams, email, or video calls. You have a dedicated point of contact, not a helpdesk ticket system. Advisory hours are tracked transparently, and unused hours never expire within the engagement quarter.
Pro and Full Advisory clients have incident response on retainer. We activate immediately, help contain the breach, manage communications, coordinate forensics, and oversee regulatory notification requirements. Essentials clients receive priority scheduling and discounted IR support.
