FAQ
Common questions
What is a virtual CISO?
A senior security leader who works with you part-time or on retainer, providing strategy, oversight and reporting without a full-time executive hire.
Which frameworks do you use?
Typically NIST CSF 2.0, mapped to your obligations (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS) and informed by real attack-path testing.
Can you present to our board?
Yes. We prepare and deliver board-ready briefings in business terms: risk, impact, progress and decisions needed.
How is this different from compliance?
Compliance proves you meet a standard. Advisory decides what actually reduces your risk, and compliance follows from a well-run program.
