Security Leadership. Without the $350K Price Tag.
You need a CISO. You don't need to spend $600K to get one. Let's talk about what fractional security leadership actually looks like for your organization.
A top-tier CISO costs between $350,000 and $600,000 a year. Most growing companies don't have that budget. They face the same regulatory pressure and the same attackers as the ones that do. PSS's vCISO service gives you strategic security leadership, compliance roadmapping, and an experienced team without adding to your headcount. You can't see the storm you're in as well as somebody from the outside. That's what we're here for.
What a vCISO engagement actually looks like:
- Onboarding assessment: we map your current posture, gaps, and priorities using our Synomi platform.
- Strategic roadmap: a clear, prioritized plan that makes sense for your size, industry, and risk profile.
- Ongoing leadership: monthly reporting, board-level briefings, compliance tracking, and someone who picks up the phone.
- You stay in control. We give you the options and the truth. You make the call.
Average CISO salary: $234,000/year. PSS CaaS averages $108,000/year. That number includes vCISO leadership, compliance support, pen testing, and dark web monitoring. If you're currently asking your IT director to also own security, you know exactly what that's costing you.
Is a vCISO actually as good as a real CISO?
For most companies in the SMB and lower mid-market: yes. Sometimes better. A vCISO brings cross-industry experience your full-time hire won't have. The caveat: if you're a regulated enterprise with a 50-person security team under you, you need a full-time CISO. If you're not that, give us a call.
