Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fractional CISO’s pricing based as a fixed rate retainer, or hourly? 

Generally, Fractional CISO’s pricing is set as a fixed rate retainer, payable quarterly. We believe that this provides a better service for our clients. They don’t need to worry about billable hours when asking about cybersecurity questions, and someone on their Fractional CISO team is always available to help them.

We base pricing on three key factors:

  • Scope – What services are needed, compliance frameworks needed. 
  • Environment Complexity – More complex IT environments require more time to design a program. 
  • Company Size – Larger companies increase complexity time needed to implement a program. 

Our contracts last three years, but clients have the option to cancel before the end of their contract.

Typical deliverables include:

  • Gap assessment and initial cybersecurity program improvements
  • Cybersecurity and compliance plan
  • Policy writing and implementation
  • Security vendor and tool guidance
  • Quantitative cybersecurity risk assessment
  • Audit readiness and support services
  • Executive reporting and board updates
  • Ongoing advisory services

Yes. Our vCISOs routinely lead clients through SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC, and other compliance frameworks, from initial readiness to first audit, and ongoing compliance.

Usually, we can start working on your account within one week of agreement execution.

Is your Cyber Insurance really going to cover you?

Only 1/3 of cyber insurance policies actually pay out in incidents. Most companies have cyber insurance policies that insure too little, or too much, and have absurdly low caps and silly exclusions.
