Common Questions

What does a Fractional CISO retainer actually cost?

Retainers start at $4,000 per month and are scoped based on company size, regulatory requirements, and how much executive involvement you need. Most mid-market engagements run $5,000 to $10,000 per month. We scope it together before you commit to anything.

What is included in the CMMC readiness assessment?

The assessment covers all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, produces a SPRS score, documents your gaps, and gives you a prioritized remediation roadmap. Implementation support to close those gaps is available as a separate scoped engagement.

How fast can we get started?

Security reviews typically start within one week of booking. Fractional CISO retainers and CMMC programs begin within two weeks of scoping. We move fast because most clients come to us with a deadline in mind.

Do you work with companies outside of defense contracting?

Yes. Fractional CISO engagements cover any mid-market company dealing with SOC 2, cyber insurance requirements, enterprise customer security questionnaires, or board-level security oversight. CMMC work is specific to DoD contractors.
