Engagement Formats
Every organization is different. We offer four engagement formats — individually or in combination.
Retainer
Ongoing fractional CISO support on a monthly basis. Provides consistent leadership presence, program continuity, and a trusted advisor relationship. Most clients start here.
Project
Scoped, time-bound engagements focused on a specific deliverable — a compliance certification, security architecture review, M&A due diligence, or program build-out.
Assessment
A structured evaluation of your current security posture against a defined framework (NIST CSF, SOC 2, HIPAA, SEC). Delivers a prioritized gap analysis and remediation roadmap.
Custom Engagement
Not every need fits a standard package. We design bespoke engagements for unique situations — PE portfolio oversight, board advisory roles, regulatory response, or multi-entity programs.
