The Problem Most Growing Companies Face
You're caught in the middle: too big for basic security, too small for a full-time CISO
Can't Afford a Full-Time CISO
Full-time CISOs cost $250K-$400K+ in salary alone. Add benefits, equity, and recruiting costs? You're looking at half a million dollars before they write a single policy.
Compliance Deadlines Looming
CMMC, HIPAA, NIST 800-171—the acronyms are piling up. Your biggest customer just sent a 47-page security questionnaire, and you have 30 days to respond or lose the contract.
Your Team Is Overwhelmed
Your IT manager is great at keeping the lights on, but security strategy? Compliance frameworks? Board reporting? That's not their expertise—and they're already working 60-hour weeks.
Losing Deals Due to Security
Enterprise customers won't sign without seeing your SOC 2 report. Government contracts require CMMC certification. Every "no" to a security question costs you revenue.
One Breach Away from Disaster
The average data breach costs $4.45M. For a growing company, that's not just money—it's reputation, customer trust, and potentially your entire business.
No Clear Security Strategy
You're buying security tools, but is it the right stack? Are you covering the actual risks? Without a CISO, you're flying blind—and hoping for the best.
