How It Works

How Securafy's vCISO Engagement Works

Our virtual CISO service delivers C-suite security leadership through a structured quarterly cadence — keeping your security strategy aligned with your business, your compliance obligations, and your board's expectations.

Month 1 — Current State Assessment

We start with a comprehensive security posture review: current controls, compliance gaps, cyber insurance status, existing policies, and board-level reporting history. We map your environment to your applicable frameworks (HIPAA, GLBA, CMMC, NIST CSF) and identify the highest-priority gaps. You receive a written findings brief at the end of Month 1.

Month 2 — Roadmap Development

We build your prioritized, budgeted security roadmap — connecting your current state to your compliance requirements and business goals. The roadmap includes a 12-month implementation schedule, cost estimates for each initiative, and the risk rationale executives need to approve investments. We present this to your leadership team for alignment.

Month 3 — Policy Foundation

We develop or update your written information security policies — the foundational documentation required by GLBA, HIPAA, CMMC, and cyber insurance. Policies include Information Security Policy, Incident Response Plan, Acceptable Use Policy, Vendor Management Policy, and Data Classification Policy.

Quarterly — Strategy & Reporting Cycle

Each quarter: a leadership strategy session reviewing your security posture, roadmap progress, and emerging threats; a board or executive report in plain language addressing risk exposure, control status, and compliance posture; compliance status updates against all applicable frameworks; and roadmap progress review with adjustments for any business changes.

Ongoing — Advisory & Incident Support

Between quarterly cycles, your vCISO is available for cyber insurance renewals, vendor security questionnaires, board inquiries, regulatory examinations, and incident response leadership. You have a named security executive in your corner — accessible when it matters, not just at scheduled check-ins.
