Virtual CISO in Orlando, FL.
Senior security leadership on a monthly retainer for Orlando businesses that need the executive but not the full-time hire. Strategy, quarterly board reporting, vendor reviews, and architecture sign-off, with a named executive who shows up in person.
Security leadership that sits at your table.
Orlando's mid-market runs on companies big enough to carry real security obligations (a customer audit, a cyber insurance review, a board that has started asking questions) and small enough that a full-time CISO does not pencil out. The vCISO retainer covers what that hire would: program steering, a roadmap, vendor decisions, and board communication. And because the firm is headquartered in Orlando, the work is not a monthly video call. If you are searching for a vCISO near you, your steering meetings, board readouts, and audit walkthroughs across the metro happen in person, at no travel charge.
What the retainer covers.
- Monthly executive steering meeting with security leadership and IT
- Quarterly board-ready security report: metrics, risks, incidents, roadmap
- Annual roadmap and budget recommendation
- Vendor and tool selection: SIEM, EDR, IAM, MDM, backup, cloud security
- Security architecture review and written sign-off before changes go live
- Auditor and regulator liaison, and incident command for material events
Retainers run around 10, 20, or 32 hours per month depending on size and regulatory weight; unused hours roll forward up to one quarter. The full structure lives on the Virtual CISO engagement page.
Common questions.
How is a vCISO different from an MSSP?
An MSSP runs the tools: the SIEM, EDR, and the SOC. A vCISO runs the program: strategy, governance, vendor decisions, and board communication. Many clients use both, and the vCISO holds the MSSP accountable.
How many retainer hours do we need?
Companies under 50 employees with a single product line typically run around 10 hours per month. Regulated, multi-cloud businesses of 50 to 200 employees run around 20. Larger organizations with multiple business units run around 32. Unused hours roll forward up to one quarter.
Will the vCISO attend meetings in person in Orlando?
Yes. The firm is headquartered in Orlando, so monthly steering meetings, board presentations, and audit walkthroughs anywhere in the metro carry no travel charge.
What happens if we have an incident?
The vCISO assumes incident command for material events. If response work exceeds the retainer hours, it overflows to the incident response retainer or is invoiced at the standard hourly rate with your approval.
