We build your security program. Not just advise on it.

A SOC 2 audit in six weeks. A GRC dashboard full of failing controls. A 200-question security questionnaire due Friday. We don't hand you a roadmap for any of it. We configure the tools, write the policies, and get it done.

Why we exist

Everyone can tell you what's wrong. Almost nobody fixes it.

Companies hire a firm to run an assessment. They buy a GRC platform. They hire an auditor. None of that gives them someone responsible for actually building and operating the program. So we do. We configure the tools, write the policies, collect the evidence, fix the controls, coordinate with auditors, and answer the questionnaires.

The advisory-only gap

  • The deal that dies in security review because you don't have a SOC 2 report
  • A 200-question security questionnaire eating a week of engineering time
  • Your GRC dashboard showing failing controls and nobody owns fixing a single one
  • The CTO implementing controls between sprints instead of shipping product
  • Engineers gathering screenshots for auditors instead of writing code

With vCISO Agents

  • A senior security leader who owns the program, not just the slide deck
  • Policies written, controls configured, evidence collected — by us
  • One accountable owner for the compliance platform, not a dashboard nobody drives
  • Your engineers back to shipping product instead of chasing auditors
  • A program built to keep working after certification, not just pass the audit
What we do

Security services built for growing companies

From ongoing executive leadership to focused compliance sprints — engage us for exactly what you need.

Fractional CISO

You need someone accountable for security: setting the strategy, fielding the board's questions, still in the room when a control fails three weeks before an audit. That's the CISO job description. We do it fractionally, strategy with your leadership team, execution with your engineers, one person accountable for both.

Compliance Management

Most companies treat compliance like a project with a finish line: pass the audit, get the report, move on. Six months later nobody remembers which controls are theirs. We manage the program after the certificate is signed, tracking ownership, catching drift, keeping evidence current so the next audit isn't a fire drill.

SOC 2 & ISO 27001

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 usually show up the same way: a big customer asks for one and gives you a deadline. We run the whole thing: gap assessment, policy writing, control implementation, evidence collection, auditor coordination. And we fix the failing controls ourselves instead of handing you a list.

Regulatory Compliance

HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CMMC, NIST: they rarely show up one at a time. A healthtech company gets HIPAA and SOC 2 in the same year. A fintech juggles PCI DSS, state privacy law, and enterprise due diligence at once. We map what actually applies to you, build one control set that covers the overlap, and implement it, policies, configuration, training, instead of writing a memo and leaving execution to you.

GRC options

We partner with leading GRC platforms and will assess and recommend the one best suited for your environment. Then we set it up, configure it to your actual stack, and own the failing controls until they're not failing anymore.

Security Assessments

You can't fix a security posture you haven't measured honestly. We assess identity, cloud configuration, application security, vendor risk, and incident readiness, benchmark it against NIST CSF or CIS Controls, coordinate penetration testing where it's warranted, and hand you a roadmap ranked by risk reduction per dollar. Then, if you want it, we execute the roadmap ourselves.

Learn more

Incident Response

Every company eventually has an incident: a phished employee, a misconfigured S3 bucket, a vendor breach that touches your data. We build the incident response plan specific to your environment, stress-test it with tabletop exercises, and set up the logging and monitoring that catches problems before a customer does.

Enterprise Security

Once you sell upmarket, security shows up inside the sales cycle: a 200-question questionnaire, a vendor risk call, a security team on the other side of the table deciding whether your product is a risk they can accept. We answer the questionnaires, join the calls, and build the trust materials that let your sales team close instead of stall.

How we work

A simple, repeatable path to a program that sticks

No 200-page assessments that sit unread. Every engagement moves through the same four phases, calibrated to your size and risk.

01

Assess

We map your environment, identify the gaps against the framework that matters, and give you a prioritized roadmap. Then we start fixing things, not just documenting them.

02

Plan

Who does what, when, and how. Policies, controls, evidence collection, tool configuration — all mapped to your actual audit timeline, not a generic template.

03

Implement

This is where most consultants hand you a document and step back. We don't. We configure your GRC platform, write the policies, collect the evidence, and sit in the audit meetings with you.

04

Maintain

Controls that pass audit in year one can drift by year two. We stay engaged — monitoring controls, tracking remediation, and keeping the program current as your business changes.

Why vCISO Agents

An extension of your team, not another advisor

What we're not

  • We don't hand you a binder and a roadmap.
  • We don't take kickbacks from tool vendors.
  • We don't send junior staff to do senior work.
  • We don't stop at “here's what you should fix.” We fix it.

What we are

  • We configure GRC platforms.
  • We write the policies.
  • We collect the evidence.
  • We coordinate with auditors.
  • We answer the security questionnaires.
  • We're in the room when controls are tested.

We've been the in-house security leader — at RocketDocs, running infosec and IT for a SaaS company selling into regulated industries. We know what it feels like to be the buyer. That changes how we work.

What it looks like

What it looks like to work with us

Not a kickoff deck. Actual work, on a timeline.

Week 1

Map your environment, draft your first three policies, schedule the auditor kickoff.

Week 2–4

Configure GRC platform integrations, assign an owner to every control, start clearing the failing-test backlog.

Month 2

Collect evidence, run the vendor risk reviews, answer the security questionnaire that's already sitting in your inbox.

Month 3

Coordinate the audit fieldwork directly with your auditor, close remaining gaps, get you a report you can hand to a customer.

Ongoing

Monitor for drift, keep policies current as your stack changes, and show up when your board or your next big deal asks a hard question.

Pricing

What this actually costs

No 'contact us for a custom quote' games. Here are the real ranges, so you can decide if it's worth a conversation.

Any company size

Compliance Sprint

$3K–$10Kone-time

SOC 2 or ISO 27001 readiness, implementation, and audit prep. Fixed scope, fixed timeline.

Up to ~50 employees

vCISO Retainer

$3K–$6K/mo

Ongoing security leadership, program management, compliance maintenance, and customer trust support.

50–250 employees

vCISO Retainer

$6K–$12K/mo

The same retainer, scaled for larger environments — more frameworks, more stakeholders, more surface area.

Pricing depends on scope, frameworks, and environment complexity. These are starting ranges. We'll give you a fixed quote on the call.

An honest note

When you don't need us

  • You have a dedicated CISO and a security team that's actually staffed.
  • Nobody's asked you for a SOC 2 report, and nobody's going to for a while.
  • Your compliance platform has an owner and your controls are passing.

If any of that sounds like you, you probably don't need us. If it doesn't, let's talk.

Social proof

What it's like to work with us

We needed SOC 2 to close a deal that mattered, and our engineering team didn't have the bandwidth to own it. vCISO Agents configured our GRC platform, wrote the policies, and got us through the audit without derailing a single sprint.

Co-Founder & CTO

Series B SaaS platform

We'd tried the assessment-only route before. Got a report, got a roadmap, then had to figure out implementation ourselves. This time someone actually did the work alongside us. That's the difference.

VP of Engineering

Healthtech startup

Security questionnaires used to eat two days of an engineer's week every time enterprise sales came knocking. Now they land on vCISO Agents' desk instead of ours, and deals move faster because of it.
