vCISO pricing (day-rate)

vCISO Pricing

Pricing varies because scope varies. The cleanest way to evaluate cost is a day-rate tied to outcomes. Here’s how a CAD $1,500/day model maps to common deliverables, plus what drives cost up or down.

Reference pricing (CAD $1,500/day)

  • 4-week Board Risk Snapshot: ~20 days → ~$30,000
  • 90-day foundation build: ~45–60 days → ~$67,500–$90,000
  • Retainer: 2–6 days/month depending on complexity

What increases cost

  • Multiple business units / acquisitions
  • Weak identity hygiene (no MFA, broad admin rights)
  • No tested recovery, unclear backups, unknown RTO/RPO
  • Heavy compliance scope (SOC 2 / ISO / regulated)

What reduces cost

  • Clear executive sponsor and quick decisions
  • Existing ticketing / change management discipline
  • Good asset inventory + ownership
  • Willingness to prioritize (not “do everything”)
