Security leadership

vCISO for MSPs

From $3,000/mo CAD · scoped to you

Your clients are asking for security leadership and you don’t have a CISO on staff to give them. We provide white-label and overflow virtual-CISO capacity you can deliver under your own brand: senior, credible, and behind the scenes.

The person in the seat has five published CVEs and has run a SOC 2 Type II end to end in-house, 76 controls with zero exceptions: the programme.

Built for teams that...

  • MSPs whose clients are asking for vCISO or security-leadership services
  • Consulting and IT firms that want to add security leadership without a full-time hire
  • Providers with more vCISO demand than internal capacity to serve it
  • Firms that need a credential-backed security partner to stand behind engagements

What we do

  • White-label virtual-CISO delivery your clients experience as your team
  • Overflow capacity so you can say yes to demand you couldn’t staff internally
  • Security roadmaps, risk assessments, policy work, and client security reviews
  • Support on your clients’ framework readiness (SOC 2, ISO 27001, and similar)
  • A published security researcher and SOC 2-experienced partner standing behind the work

What you walk away with

You expand your service menu and revenue with senior security leadership your clients see as yours, without the cost and risk of hiring and retaining a full-time CISO.

Frequently asked questions

Is this genuinely white-label?

Yes. We can operate behind your brand so the client relationship stays yours. We agree on how visible we are up front, whether fully white-label or co-branded, and that is your call.

Can you take overflow when we are already staffed?

That is a common use. When demand spikes past your internal capacity, we absorb the overflow so you never have to turn work away or over-hire for peak load.

What credibility do you bring to our clients?

A published security researcher and SOC 2 Type II experience stand behind the work, plus a specialist partner for offensive and adversarial testing when a client needs it.

How is this priced for partners?

It varies by volume and engagement model. We structure partner pricing so you keep healthy margin, and confirm the details on a call.

The workspace is included, not quoted

The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

traztech Workspace Other GRC platforms
Licence cost $0. Free forever, no card, no paid tier $7,500 to $50,000 a year, on an annual contract
Control library, evidence register, policy templates, risk register, vendor questionnaires, readiness scoring Included Included
What it costs inside an engagement with us $0. You need a workspace either way Unchanged. The subscription sits on top of the fee
What it does to your audit quote $11,000 off a five-figure quote on one engagement, for a documented readiness position Nothing. The audit firm prices your readiness, not your tooling

Pricing in the right column is what compliance automation platforms are publicly reported to charge; none of them publish a number, so treat it as a range rather than a quote. The $11,000 came off the audit firm's own number once the readiness position was documented (the engagement). Where a paid platform is the better buy, and the fuller comparison, is on the Workspace page.

Published vulnerability research

Five published CVEs. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, which gave defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626 takes HP ENVY 5000 printers offline from any unauthenticated device on the same network.

The printer is the one that matters on a compliance page: an asset nobody counts as a computer, on a flat network, downed by a device that never had to log in. Auditors ask how controls fail. We have found out first-hand.

A SOC 2 Type II built from nothing

At Humera, a venture-backed US security company, Jacob built the compliance programme in-house from nothing: no report, no policies, no documented controls. It ended in a Type II attestation across 76 controls with zero exceptions, on a team of 15.

The platform held 99.9% uptime throughout, which is the part most readiness projects get wrong: controls are easy to design and hard to retrofit onto a system people already depend on.

Recent engagements

For a Waterloo data centre operator we ran SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 together rather than one after the other, across a production campus, an AI compute platform and a self-hosted collaboration stack. Scoped so further Ontario and Quebec sites enter as they reach production. Findings delivered and remediated.

For an Ontario medtech company putting an AI clinical assistant in front of practitioners, we ran the gap analysis and built the evidence programme behind their SOC 2.
