What We Do — And Why It Matters

A full-time CISO costs ₹50 to ₹150 lakh per year — beyond the reach of most Indian SMEs and fast-growing companies. A Virtual CISO gives you the same expertise, on a retainer basis, tailored to your organization's size and risk profile. Our vCISOs have led security programs at enterprises, startups and public sector organizations across India.

Our certified professionals follow internationally recognized methodologies — OWASP, NIST, PTES, OSSTMM and OWASP MASVS. Every engagement is manual-first: real experts thinking like attackers, not just running automated scanners. We are CERT-In empanelled — every report we issue is accepted by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and all major Indian regulators.

Every Engagement Includes

  • Dedicated named vCISO with Indian enterprise experience
  • Security strategy and 12-month roadmap
  • Board and executive security reporting
  • Compliance program ownership (ISO 27001, DPDPA, SOC 2)
  • Vendor risk management
  • Incident response leadership and 1-hour availability
  • Staff security awareness program oversight
  • Flexible engagement models (4 to 20 days per month)
