vCISO engagement scope

vCISO Pricing

Scope varies because every environment, timeline, and governance requirement is different. The clearest way to evaluate fit is by scope, outcomes, and operating cadence. Here’s how a scope-based delivery model model maps to common deliverables, plus what drives cost up or down.

Reference engagement patterns

  • 4-week Board Risk Snapshot: a focused 4-week advisory sprint
  • 90-day foundation build: a broader 90-day foundation build
  • 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”)
