Cyber Security Services- Securing Fortune 100 companies since 2014

Your organization needs executive-level cybersecurity leadership, but the talent market is brutal, and a full-time CISO commands $200,000 to $415,000 in total annual compensation before recruiting fees, benefits, and turnover risk. Cyber Security Services delivers the same strategic direction, board-level authority, and hands-on program ownership through our Virtual CISO (vCISO) service, at 60–75% of the cost of a full-time hire.
Our vCISOs are CISSP-certified practitioners who have built and led security programs across healthcare, financial services, technology, and government contracting. We plug into your leadership team as a seamless extension, owning your security roadmap, steering compliance initiatives, and showing up when you need us most.
A Virtual CISO (vCISO) is a senior cybersecurity executive who serves your organization on a fractional or contract basis. They carry the same weight as a full-time CISO, owning your security strategy, managing enterprise risk, overseeing compliance programs, and presenting to your board. The difference is flexibility: you scale hours and scope to match your organization’s real needs and budget, not a fixed headcount slot.
For companies between $5M and $200M in revenue (or any organization facing a compliance deadline, security incident, or leadership gap) a vCISO is the most economically rational path to enterprise-grade security leadership.
We build your security program from the ground up or mature the one you have: a current-state assessment, a prioritized multi-year roadmap, the right controls for your size and risk, and a budget your leadership can plan around. As your fractional CISO, we own the program and track it to completion.
We design and manage your third-party risk program, including vendor security questionnaires, contract review, and ongoing monitoring: a critical requirement under SOC 2, HIPAA, and most enterprise procurement processes. See our vendor risk assessments.
Most organizations underestimate what a full-time CISO actually costs. A $150,000–$300,000 base salary becomes $290,000–$455,000 annually when you add benefits (30%), recruiting fees ($30K–$50K), and ongoing training. The median CISO tenure is only 26 months, meaning you face those recruiting costs every two years. A vCISO from Cyber Security Services delivers the same caliber of leadership for a predictable monthly engagement fee, with no recruiting lag, no benefits overhead, and no turnover risk.

It is designed for companies that need core policies, a security roadmap, risk prioritization, and help responding to customer or compliance questions.
For growing organizations that need a managed cybersecurity and compliance program, not just occasional advice.
The Growth vCISO tier is for companies that have more systems, more vendors, more customer security requirements, and increasing compliance pressure. It adds recurring risk management, remediation oversight, GRC support, vulnerability management coordination, and stronger executive visibility.
For organizations that need continuous executive cybersecurity leadership, board-ready reporting, and mature program oversight.
The Executive vCISO tier is for organizations with complex environments, regulated data, multiple vendors, audit obligations, or significant customer trust requirements. It provides the highest level of recurring oversight, including executive reporting, continuous risk management, vendor risk execution, security operations coordination, control reviews, and compliance program leadership.
~16 hrs/month
Foundation vCISO
GRC support
Monthly hours are used to size the engagement and planning cadence. Final scope, meeting frequency, deliverables, and support model are defined during onboarding based on the client’s risk profile, compliance obligations, and business priorities.
Choose Foundation vCISO if: You need to create structure, policies, & a roadmap, but you are not ready for a larger ongoing security program.
Choose Growth vCISO if: You are preparing for audits, responding to customer security requirements, managing regulated data, or need recurring risk and compliance oversight.
Choose Executive vCISO if: You need board-ready security leadership, continuous governance, vendor risk oversight, mature compliance reporting, and a stronger operating rhythm across security, IT, legal, and executive stakeholders.

Most engagements start within one to two weeks of signing. The first 30 to 60 days focus on understanding your environment: current controls, risks, compliance obligations and upcoming audits or customer requirements. That work produces a prioritized 12-month security roadmap. From there, your vCISO works a set number of hours each month (about 16, 40 or 80, depending on your tier) on policies, vendor risk, board and leadership reporting, and audit readiness, with quarterly reviews of progress against the roadmap.
Monthly pricing follows the level of effort you need:
That is a fraction of the cost of a full-time CISO once salary, benefits and recruiting are included.
Final pricing depends on scope; we provide a fixed quote after a free scoping call.
Yes: this is one of the most common vCISO use cases. Our vCISOs have guided dozens of organizations through SOC 2 Type I and Type II readiness, including gap assessments, control design, policy development, and auditor coordination. We know what auditors look for and how to build evidence efficiently.
Yes. Virtual CISO (vCISO) and fractional CISO describe the same service: an experienced chief information security officer who leads your security program part-time, on a monthly retainer, instead of as a full-time employee.
The main factors are the hours of senior leadership you need each month, the number of compliance frameworks in scope, how mature your program is today, board and customer reporting requirements, and whether you need hands-on help such as vendor reviews or audit coordination. We size the engagement to your risk and give you a fixed monthly quote.
