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 and 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.
