Frequently asked questions

Common questions about SOC 2, security compliance, and our services

A fractional CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is a part-time or contract security executive who provides strategic security leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. We handle compliance programs, governance, risk management, and board-level reporting.
SOC 2 Type 1 typically takes 4-8 weeks from gap assessment to audit-ready. SOC 2 Type 2 takes 6-12 months because auditors evaluate your controls over time. We've helped clients achieve Type 1 in 6-8 weeks.
Type 1 is a point-in-time evaluation of your security design. Type 2 evaluates your controls over 6-12 months to ensure they work consistently. Type 1 is faster and works for most SaaS companies; Type 2 is more comprehensive for enterprise deals.
If you're a SaaS company targeting enterprise customers, yes. 77% of enterprise buyers now require SOC 2 as part of vendor due diligence. It's a trust signal and increasingly a deal-blocker without it.
Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) is Microsoft's identity platform. It's critical for SaaS because it controls who has access to your systems. Proper Entra ID configuration, MFA, Conditional Access policies, and identity governance are core to SOC 2 compliance and Zero Trust security.
Zero Trust is a security architecture that never trusts any user or device by default. Every access request is verified. It requires MFA, least-privilege access, continuous monitoring, and identity governance. It's increasingly required by regulators and enterprise customers.
AI governance is the framework for managing risks around AI tools in your company. It includes Shadow AI inventory (who's using ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude?), data privacy policies, security controls, and compliance with emerging AI regulations like the EU AI Act.
SOC 2 consulting typically costs $10K-$25K for a fixed project. Auditor fees add $5K-$15K more. Compliance tools (Vanta, Drata) add $1K-$3K/month. We're transparent about scope and pricing upfront.
A gap assessment reviews your current security posture against a compliance framework (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.). We identify what you have, what you're missing, and what needs to change. It's the starting point for any compliance project.
Yes, but tools like Vanta, Drata, and Secureframe automate evidence collection—they don't replace strategy. You still need someone to define scope, select controls, manage auditors, and make governance decisions. That's where fractional CISO services add value.
Monthly vCISO retainers include: ongoing compliance monitoring, policy updates, incident response guidance, board-level reporting, security strategy guidance, and vendor risk assessments. We're your part-time security executive.
SOC 2 is standard for SaaS companies selling to US enterprises. ISO 27001 is required if you have EU customers or operate in heavily regulated industries. Many companies start with SOC 2, then add ISO 27001 later.
We specialize in Microsoft security. We work with Azure security, Entra ID, Conditional Access, managed identities, Azure Policy, Azure Defender, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud. If you're building on Microsoft, we're the right fit.
Enterprise customers send security questionnaires (RFP/RFI). We help you answer them accurately, track your responses, and use them to improve your actual security posture. Part of vCISO services.
Early-stage startups can start small with a gap assessment and basic policies. As you raise capital or pursue enterprise customers, SOC 2 becomes urgent. We scale with you from bootstrap to Series B.
Quarterly at minimum. SOC 2 Type 2 requires continuous monitoring and annual review. We recommend quarterly strategic reviews to stay ahead of regulatory changes and business growth.
Audit-ready means: policies are documented, controls are implemented and tested, evidence is organized, and your team knows how controls work. When your auditor arrives, you're confident they'll find what they expect.
Our focus is SOC 2, ISO 27001, Zero Trust, and AI governance for SaaS. If you need HIPAA or PCI DSS, we can advise but recommend specialists in healthcare and payments.
We can jump in mid-project, audit what's been done, identify gaps, and accelerate to audit-ready. Many companies find we save them time and money even if they've already started.
Our focus is SOC 2, ISO 27001, and Zero Trust for SaaS. We advise on PCI DSS but recommend specialists for payment processing companies. Many of our clients add PCI DSS after SOC 2.
NIST compliance is required for government contractors and regulated organizations. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 both map to NIST. We can guide organizations toward NIST alignment as part of broader compliance strategy.
Cybersecurity compliance services include: gap assessment, security policy development, control design and implementation, evidence collection, audit preparation, and ongoing compliance monitoring. End-to-end consulting from assessment to audit-ready.
Full-time CISO costs $150K-$300K+/year. Fractional CISO costs $5K-$12K/month and scales with your needs. You get executive-level security leadership without full-time overhead.
Yes. After a project completes, we offer optional monthly retainers for vCISO support, compliance monitoring, policy updates, and strategic guidance. Many clients transition from projects to retainers.
We have a 97% first-attempt audit pass rate across our engagements. Most failures come from companies who pivot strategy mid-audit or don't implement recommendations fully. When clients follow the roadmap we build together, audits go smoothly.
