Frequently asked questions

A Virtual CISO (vCISO) provides senior security leadership on a part-time or fractional basis. You get dedicated security guidance and implementation support without the cost of hiring a full-time executive — typically 40–70% savings.

Most organisations achieve certification in 6–9 months. We've helped well-prepared companies achieve it in 90 days using our accelerated framework. The timeline depends on your current security maturity.

Full GDPR implementation, ISO 27001 certification preparation, staff training, phishing simulations, incident response planning, and vendor security assessment — all delivered via a structured 90-day execution framework.

A vCISO handles traditional cybersecurity leadership. A CAISO (Chief AI Security Officer) specifically governs your use of AI tools — protecting against LLM data leakage, shadow AI, and ensuring EU AI Act compliance.

We specialise in mid-market companies (50–1,000 employees) across financial services, SaaS, manufacturing, and professional services. We've tailored our approach for PE-backed and VC-funded businesses that need to move fast.
