VCISO for BC founders and operators. A vCISO owns your security program: policies, controls, vendor risk, audits, board reporting, and incident leadership. You get a named executive on customer security questionnaires, regulator letters, and the cap table without a $300K+ comp package.
British Columbia is Vancouver-led and US-facing: SaaS, payments, gaming, and a durable crypto and digital-asset scene, with Victoria adding govtech and cleantech. The province shares a time zone with Seattle and the Bay Area, and most BC companies sell south rather than east. That means US enterprise buyers, and US enterprise buyers ask for SOC 2 by default, usually earlier in the cycle than a Canadian buyer would.
We work remotely, and Pacific hours are a normal working day here, not a favour we do at the end of a Toronto calendar. The BC sequence is consistent enough to plan around: the first serious US customer sends a security questionnaire, the deal stalls, and the answer turns out to be SOC 2 plus a recent third-party penetration test. We scope that as one piece of work instead of two.
