Executive CISO:

“Never worry about security again”.

Enterprise customers expect you to look and feel like they do.
But as a startup, you don’t have the time, budget, or (likely) the expertise to do that.

We do — and we have templated & built our models to fit exactly for what startups need.

We setup, rollout, and manage security 100%, from start to finish.
– Processes and procedures
– Technology infrastructure
– Customer-facing & questionnaires

Don’t buy anything, don’t start anything – we’ve got this covered from top to bottom.

What Do You Get From an Executive CISO?

Peace of Mind.
Never worry about security and compliance again.
Executive Presence.
See the difference it makes rounding out your executive team with a professional executive, that understands not just security, but what it takes to grow a B2B SaaS org.
Unblock Sales.
Know that security & compliance will never be a blocker or delay in your sales cycles or biggest partnerships, going forward.
Customer-Facing.
Executive representation to your customers. We find it very analogous to legal reviews when their General Counsel can speak 1:1 to yours (when you’re large enough to have one) – things go a lot smoother when its expert-to-expert.
One Stop Shop.
Don’t stitch together a handful of products, providers, and internal resources. Our #1 goal is to do what you really need – solve the “entire problem”, top to bottom, in the easiest, most cost efficient, and light-weight way possible.

See our talk on how, as a CISO, we rapidly setup security programs for startups.

Hear From Your Fellow Founders

Trust is a big step to develop, with the best new relationships often starting from recommendations and referrals.

But there’s alot more to gain than just “security”. Hear some stories on the benefits of how “looking professional to your customers” make an amplified difference in how you’re perceived.

“If you show up like every other startup, you’re going to get treated like every other startup. It’s going to be long cycles. And security & compliance is going to block you.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get things organized and cleaned up before exploring an option like this?

No. Hard no. Trust that you’re bringing in experts that know what they’re doing, and they’ve done this before. We have templates and approaches for everything. Think of it like sending in a SWAT Team – we come in efficient, organized, and on a mission; we’ll let you know when you’re needed. 🙂

How is this different from other “Virtual CISO” offerings?

We believe that if a CEO “has 5 problems, we’d like to make it 4”. We act as an executive function within your ogranization, and run this top to bottom. Our goal is to free up your teams’ time, and make this as light-weight and easy as possible. There are a few others in the market, whereas we find they provide “support” and “options on how to approach it” – we are of the belief that “you’re not looking for help, you’re looking to make this problem go away”

What does an engagement look like?

We work on long-term engagements (12-month contracts). We build, run, maintain, and grow the areas we provide expertise in. Success for us means taking an expertise area fully off your hands, allowing your team to focus where they need to be: on product & customer.

Do we need or want tools like Vanta, Tugboat, or Drata?

These tools have value, but they do not “build your security program”. They can help streamline an audit, once your entire program is in place. They also require a lot of expertise for “tuning”, as they are very opinionated (since algorithmic), which creates additional work an overhead. There is a time and place for them, but we do not recommend that at the start.

How do you help with customer interactions?

We act as part of your executive org structure, and are your customer-facing point person for anything security related. For security positioning, questions, questionnaires, and even security-related guidance in contracts. It’s not always required, but we find it goes a long way in your sales cycles when your customers see you’ve invested in a CISO; and the trust it can instill in your overall company (beyond just security), with professional executive presence, can be genuinely meaningful.

See and feel the difference that having this executive level functionally professionally managed makes – both within your org, and to your customers.
