vCISO Services — Executive Security Leadership, Fractional Cost

Compliance obligations you can't staff for. Customer security questionnaires landing on the CFO's desk. A board that wants a security report from someone with a title. If any of that sounds familiar, you need a CISO's judgment more than a CISO's salary.

What the seat owns

Security strategy and the roadmap — prioritized against your actual risk, not a vendor's product list.
Policy and the security risk register, kept current and owned by name.
Audit and insurance readiness — frameworks, questionnaires, and the evidence behind every answer.
Incident response leadership — the person who runs the first hour when something happens.
Board and leadership reporting — posture, progress, and spend in language directors use.

One firm, both executive seats

The vCISO is the natural companion to Managed IT — and to the Fractional AI Officer. Security and AI governance are converging in every boardroom question and every insurance renewal; with ProIncident they're one accountable relationship, not two vendors pointing at each other.

Engagement model

A fixed monthly retainer, scoped by organization size and compliance load — no hourly billing, consistent with everything else we publish. Standing cadence with leadership, defined deliverables, and liability boundaries written into the agreement.

Common questions

Is a vCISO enough for compliance frameworks?
For most mid-market obligations — insurance requirements, SOC 2 readiness, customer questionnaires, industry frameworks — yes: the seat provides the leadership and evidence layer, with our security operations underneath it.
How is this different from a security consultant?
Ownership and continuity. A consultant delivers an engagement; the vCISO carries your posture quarter over quarter, answers for it to your board, and is there when the incident call comes.
Do we need managed IT with ProIncident to use the vCISO?
Yes — and deliberately so. A vCISO answers for your security posture, which means the same firm has to run the operations underneath it: patching, monitoring, response. Strategy without hands on the environment is advice, not accountability. The seat sits on top of managed coverage, and the two are scoped together.
