Executive security leadership, scaled to your business.
Get a seasoned CISO at the table without carrying a $300K salary line. Strategy, compliance, board reporting, and incident response, led by someone who has done it before.
Most growing businesses need executive-level security judgement long before they can justify a full-time Chief Information Security Officer. Our CISO On-Demand service (also called vCISO or CISO-as-a-Service) puts that expertise on your side, for as many hours a month as you actually need it.
We have stood in front of boards, passed audits, responded to breaches, and quietly cleaned up messes for companies of every size. Now we bring that same experience to yours.
Who this is for
- Founders and CEOs who are being asked harder security questions by customers, investors, and regulators.
- CIOs and CTOs who need a dedicated security leader but cannot yet hire a full-time one.
- Boards that want independent, plain-English reporting on the state of the cybersecurity program.
- Companies preparing for ISO 27001, SOC 2, Essential Eight, APRA CPS 234, or a customer security review.
- Organisations recovering from an incident that exposed gaps in leadership and accountability.
What our vCISO engagements cover
Strategy and roadmap
We build a prioritised, costed security roadmap tied to your business goals, so you always know what to do next and why it matters.
Governance, risk, and compliance
Policies, standards, risk registers, control frameworks, and the ongoing cadence that keeps them alive. We design them to be used, not filed.
Audit and customer assurance
Evidence collection, auditor liaison, and help answering the questionnaires your sales team keeps getting stuck on. Our clients pass audits on the first attempt.
Board and executive reporting
Clear, jargon-free updates that translate technical risk into business language your leadership team and directors can act on.
Incident readiness and response
Playbooks, tabletop exercises, and an experienced hand on deck if something does happen. We have led incidents end-to-end and know how to keep a crisis small.
Vendor and AI risk oversight
Third-party reviews, AI governance, and the growing list of questions nobody had to worry about two years ago.
Why clients choose us
- Real executive experience. Our vCISOs have held the seat, not just observed it. CISSP, CCSP, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, AWS and Azure security credentials.
- Flexible engagement models. Monthly retainer, fractional time-share, project-based, or interim while you recruit. Scale up or down with your needs.
- Right-sized cost. Clients save an average of $300,000 a year compared with a full-time hire, without losing senior-level coverage.
- Operational, not theoretical. We write things your team can actually implement on Monday morning.
What the first 90 days usually look like
- Weeks 1 to 2: current-state assessment. Interviews with leadership, technical deep-dives, control review, quick-win identification.
- Weeks 3 to 6: prioritised roadmap, risk register, first-pass policy refresh, and a clear view of where the real exposures sit.
- Weeks 7 to 12: first board update, kickoff on the highest-priority workstreams, and a working rhythm your team can sustain.
