Security leadership

CISO-as-a-Service

From $2,500/mo CAD · scoped to you

CISO-as-a-Service is an ongoing, outsourced Chief Information Security Officer function (the same thing as a fractional or virtual CISO), positioned the way buyers search for it.

Book a discovery call See pricing

You get senior security leadership, led by a published security researcher, without the cost or lead time of a full-time executive hire.

The person in the seat has five published CVEs and has run a SOC 2 Type II end to end in-house, with zero exceptions: the programme.

What we do

A named senior security leader accountable for your program
Security strategy and a roadmap tied to your business and buyers
Ownership of compliance efforts like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness
Support on enterprise security reviews, questionnaires, and buyer trust
Board and leadership-ready reporting on security posture and risk

Built for teams that...

  • Startups that need a security leader but cannot justify a full-time CISO yet
  • Teams facing SOC 2, enterprise deals, or board pressure on security
  • Founders who want one accountable owner for security and compliance

What you walk away with

You get executive-grade security leadership on a retainer: someone who owns the strategy, drives compliance, and can stand in front of your board or your biggest buyer, all for a fraction of the cost and none of the hiring lag of a full-time CISO.

Frequently asked questions

Is CISO-as-a-Service the same as a fractional CISO?

Yes. It is the same outsourced security leadership function; CISO-as-a-Service is just the term many buyers use when they search for it.

How is this different from a one-off project?

This is an ongoing retainer relationship. Your CISO owns the program over time rather than delivering a single assessment and leaving.

Who leads the engagement?

Senior security leadership led by a published security researcher with real offensive-security depth, backed by our team.

What does it cost?

It varies by scope and how much of the function you need. See our pricing page or book a call and we will size it to your situation.
