Virtual CISO & Security Retainer

A dedicated security leader for your business — without the six-figure salary. Ongoing protection, advisory, and peace of mind on a monthly retainer.

Here's the situation most small businesses are in: you know security matters, but you don't have anyone whose job it is to worry about it. Nobody is reviewing your firewall logs. Nobody is checking whether your backups actually work. Nobody is keeping up with the latest threats and making sure your defenses match. And when something goes wrong, you're scrambling to find someone who can help — at the worst possible time.

A full-time Chief Information Security Officer costs $150,000 to $250,000 a year. You don't need that. What you need is someone with that level of expertise watching your back on a schedule that fits your business and your budget.

That's what a Virtual CISO retainer gives you. You get a seasoned security professional — a Certified Ethical Hacker with over 25 years of enterprise experience, certifications in Rapid7, CrowdStrike, and Vectra AI, and a background that includes leading cybersecurity operations across military and corporate environments — on call and on your side.

What's Included

Quarterly Security Review

Every quarter, we conduct a thorough review of your security posture — scanning for vulnerabilities, reviewing access controls, checking configurations, validating backups, and assessing any changes in your environment since the last review. You get a clear report with findings, risk ratings, and prioritized recommendations. This alone catches the kind of slow drift that turns into a breach.

Ongoing Security Advisory

When a major vulnerability drops and it's all over the news, you shouldn't have to wonder "does this affect us?" You'll have a direct line to someone who can answer that question in minutes, not days. We monitor threat intelligence relevant to your environment and proactively notify you when action is needed. New software purchase? Office expansion? Cloud migration? We advise on the security implications before you commit.

Policy & Compliance Guidance

We help you develop and maintain the security policies your business needs — acceptable use, password standards, incident response procedures, data handling, remote work security, and more. If you need to meet compliance requirements for cyber insurance, HIPAA, PCI, CMMC, or client contracts, we help you get there and stay there.

Incident Response

If something happens — a phishing attack, a compromised account, suspicious activity, ransomware — you have someone to call immediately who already knows your environment, your systems, and your people. We don't need to spend the first two hours figuring out what you have. We already know, and we're ready to act.

Security Stack Management

We oversee your security tools — endpoint protection, email filtering, DNS security, MFA, backup monitoring — making sure everything is current, configured correctly, and actually doing its job. We review alerts, investigate anomalies, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks between your quarterly reviews.

Annual Security Roadmap

Once a year, we sit down and build a strategic security plan for the next 12 months — prioritized improvements, budget recommendations, and a realistic timeline. This gives you a clear path forward instead of reacting to whatever's on fire this week.

Pricing

You don't need a $200,000 hire. You need the right person, on the right schedule, at a price that makes sense.

We offer three retainer tiers based on the size and complexity of your environment. Every tier includes a real security professional — not a dashboard and an AI chatbot. Pick the level that fits, and we'll adjust as your needs change.

Annual Commitment

Sign a 12-month agreement and save 10%. That brings Essential to $2,250/month, Professional to $4,050/month, and Premium to $6,750/month.

Bundle and Save

Starting with a Cyber Insurance Compliance Assessment? We can credit the assessment fee toward your first three months of any retainer tier. Get compliant now, stay compliant year-round.

Who This Is For

• Businesses with 10-200 employees that can't justify a full-time security hire

• Companies whose cyber insurance requires documented security oversight

• Organizations that handle sensitive data and need compliance guidance

• Businesses that have been breached before and never want it to happen again

• Any company that wants to stop hoping they're secure and start knowing

Why a Retainer Instead of One-Off Projects?

Security isn't a project — it's a posture. A one-time assessment tells you where you stood on that specific day. A retainer means someone is watching continuously, adapting to changes in your environment, and catching problems before they become incidents. The businesses that get breached aren't the ones who never did an assessment — they're the ones who did one two years ago and never followed up.
