Frequently Asked

Security Consulting & vCISO: Common Questions

◆

What does a vCISO actually do that a consultant doesn't?

A vCISO takes ongoing accountability for your security posture, board reporting, budget decisions, program direction, not just a single project. It is fractional executive leadership, not a one-off deliverable.

How many hours a week does a vCISO engagement involve?

It varies by organization size and risk profile. We scope engagement intensity, from a few hours a week to near-full-time, based on your specific needs rather than a fixed package.

Can a vCISO support M&A due diligence?

Yes. We regularly assess a target company's security posture, compliance standing, and technical debt as part of due diligence, giving acquirers a clear risk picture before closing.

Is this a long-term retainer or can we book project-based work?

Both are available. Some clients want an ongoing vCISO retainer, others need a defined project, like building a security program from scratch, with a clear start and end date.
