Subject matter experts
Traditional vCISO is broken.
Hours evaporate fast.
You burn through your retainer on calls and status emails before any real security work gets done.
One person can't do it all.
A solo vCISO has gaps. Pen testing, cloud security, and compliance each demand specialized expertise.
Static programs fail dynamic businesses.
Your risks change. A fixed scope retainer from six months ago doesn't reflect your world today.
Unpredictable costs.
Need a pen test? That's extra. Risk assessment? Extra. Budget surprises at every turn.
Everything your security program actually needs.
Our BASE X Advisory subscription replaces the "bag of hours" model with a menu of real, rotating security services — all backed by a bench of specialists. Swap services in and out as your priorities shift. No renegotiations. No surprises.
Virtual CISO Advisory
Strategic security leadership, board-level reporting, policy development, and ongoing risk guidance from a dedicated vCISO — included in every plan.
Penetration Testing
Network, application, and social engineering assessments conducted by certified ethical hackers. Real findings, real remediation guidance.
Risk Assessments
Comprehensive enterprise risk assessments aligned to NIST, ISO 27001, or custom frameworks — quantified and prioritized for your leadership team.
Services Evolve With You
Swap services each cycle based on your current priorities. Launching a new product? Prioritize app security. Pursuing SOC 2? Shift to compliance. Your program, your call.
Cloud Assessments
AWS, Azure, and GCP configuration reviews to identify misconfigurations, over-permissioned identities, and exposure before attackers do.
Compliance Readiness
SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, and ISO 27001 gap analyses and audit preparation — so you're ready when the auditor arrives.
Up and running in days,
not months.
Kickoff & Discovery
We learn your environment, your risks, and your goals. No generic checklists — a real conversation with your assigned vCISO.
Build Your Program
Together we design a 90-day roadmap of services from our catalog that address your highest-priority gaps first.
Execute & Deliver
Our specialist team gets to work. You receive tangible deliverables — reports, findings, action plans — not just meeting notes.
Adapt & Evolve
Each cycle, we reassess. Swap services, shift focus, or scale up. Your program stays aligned to your business — always.
Full Access. One Price.
No hourly overages. No surprise invoices when you need a pen test. Our flat monthly subscription covers your entire security program — advisory hours, specialist services, and deliverables — in a single, predictable line item. Cancel anytime.
Flat Monthly Fee
One invoice covers everything. Budget with confidence and eliminate unexpected cybersecurity spend that blows your quarterly targets.
Cancel Anytime
No 12-month lock-ins. No exit fees. We earn your business every month by delivering results — and we're confident enough to stake our model on it.
Team Behind You
You're not buying one person's bandwidth. You get a full bench — pen testers, cloud architects, compliance specialists, and risk analysts.
