A full-time CISO costs $250K+ per year — and takes months to recruit. NodeCypher's vCISO service gives you seasoned security leadership, a working GRC programme, and compliance readiness on an engagement model that flexes with your needs.
Tools don't make decisions. Policy documents don't write themselves. A vCISO provides the strategic layer your security programme is missing — without the full-time cost.
Your IT team is excellent at keeping systems running but has no bandwidth for risk management, compliance tracking, or board-level security reporting. We provide the layer above the tactical work.
A Fortune 500 wants a SOC 2 report before signing. An investor is asking about your security programme. You need a credible answer — and a real programme behind it — within weeks, not years.
ISO 27001 certification in six months. SOC 2 audit scheduled. You need someone who has been through this before to run the preparation — gap assessments, evidence collection, remediation sprints.
Government contractor, healthcare provider, or financial services firm. Regulatory requirements don't care about your team size — you need documented controls, policies, and a clear audit trail.
Every vCISO engagement is hands-on. We don't produce a report and walk away — we own the programme alongside you and drive it to completion.
Structured assessment against your target framework — SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NIST CSF, or GDPR. Prioritised gap report with effort and risk estimates for every finding.
Recurring scan cadence, CVE triage, patch prioritisation, and remediation tracking — from discovery to closure, with executive reporting at each milestone.
Complete policy library aligned to your target framework: AUP, ISMS, BCP/DR, incident response, access control, data classification, and vendor management policies.
Documented IR playbooks, tabletop exercises, contact trees, and regulatory notification templates — so your first security incident isn't also your first test of your response plan.
Vendor security questionnaires, supply chain risk tiering, and contract security clause review — so you know the risk profile of every critical supplier before it becomes your problem.
Live risk register, compliance status per framework, open finding tracker, and a monthly board-ready summary — security posture visible at every level of the organisation.
We use a two-phase engagement model that prioritises quick wins in the first month while building durable foundations for long-term compliance and governance.
