vCISO & SOC 2 Compliance — clear the security review blocking your next deal.

The problem we solve

A deal is waiting on a report you don't have.

An enterprise prospect just sent a security questionnaire, or a contract is gated on a SOC 2 report. Hiring a full-time CISO means adding a senior executive salary to payroll; doing nothing costs the deal. A vCISO gives you senior security leadership scoped to exactly what you need — strategy, controls, evidence, and a clean path through the audit.

We tell you where your number lands and what the timeline really looks like before you commit — no surprises at the audit.

Industry context

What SOC 2 actually costs

  • The independent CPA audit alone typically runs $20,000–$50,000+ for a Type II, driven by scope and complexity (Secureframe, Drata).
  • All-in first-year cost for a small-to-midsize company lands around $30,000–$150,000 once prep, tooling, and team time are counted (Sprinto).
  • A Type II report requires a minimum 3-month observation window — 6 months preferred (Secureframe, Vanta). We map your timeline up front.

What you get

Security leadership, delivered as a service.

Fractional CISO

Security strategy, policy, and executive sponsorship at a retainer — not a salary. The security leader your buyers expect you to have.

SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA readiness

Gap assessment, control design and implementation, and evidence collection mapped to the framework your deals require.

Zero-trust IAM & least privilege

Identity, access, and secrets design across your environment — the control layer auditors test hardest.

Audit liaison

We prepare you, coordinate the independent CPA firm, and work alongside your auditor through to the report.

Continuous compliance

Monitoring and drift detection so you stay audit-ready year-round — not just pass once and decay.

Who it's for

SaaS and tech companies facing their first SOC 2, healthcare-adjacent products needing HIPAA, or any team where security reviews are slowing enterprise sales.

Common questions

vCISO & SOC 2, answered straight.

What does a fractional CISO cost?

A monthly retainer scoped to your stage — far below a full-time hire. Book a consultation for a scoped quote against your actual environment and deadline.

How long does SOC 2 take?

Type I readiness is a function of your current control maturity — we scope it in the gap assessment. A Type II report requires an observation window of at least 3 months (6 preferred). We map your realistic timeline up front, before you commit.

Do I need a consultant, or just Vanta/Drata?

Compliance automation tools collect evidence; they don't design controls, make risk decisions, or talk to your auditor. We use those tools and provide the human expertise they assume you already have. Read our honest breakdown →

Which framework do I need?

SOC 2 for most B2B SaaS; ISO 27001 for international/enterprise; HIPAA if you touch PHI. We'll tell you in the first call — and if you don't need us, we'll say that too.
