Establish truth first, then ownership, then an operating cadence.
vciso.tr connects security leadership, assurance, AI governance, privacy, and vendor risk to business risk, decisions, and evidence—not a product-resale agenda.
Independent working principles
- No software/license resale
- No vendor commissions
- Direct senior-practitioner involvement
- Evidence and business risk first
- No claim of legal advice or certification guarantee
Who is this model for?
Companies that are early for a full-time CISO but too mature for informal security ownership
Teams under ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA, or enterprise customer-review pressure
Leadership teams that need clearer ownership across AI, privacy, vendor risk, or board reporting
Choose the shape around the actual need
One retainer format does not fit every company.
Discovery sprint
Makes current scope, stakeholders, risk ownership, and evidence gaps visible quickly.
90-day governance roadmap
Connects control ownership, priority risks, reporting rhythm, and practical actions in one plan.
Audit readiness support
Structures evidence, policies, and gap actions for ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA, or customer assurance work.
Customer assurance and questionnaire support
Turns questionnaires, evidence packs, and approved answers into a repeatable sales support workflow.
Fractional governance cadence
Keeps risk registers, executive reporting, and decision agendas active through monthly or biweekly rhythms.
A 30 / 60 / 90-day operating model
- 0–30 days — Establish truth: make scope, obligations, customer commitments, material risks, current controls, and evidence visible.
- 31–60 days — Establish ownership: assign risk owners, control owners, evidence owners, exception paths, and executive reporting.
- 61–90 days — Establish rhythm: begin recurring reviews, board/executive briefs, assurance backlog management, and the longer roadmap.
An engagement should answer “what is materially different now?”
When does this model make sense?
- Senior security judgment is missing
- Customer-assurance demand is recurring
- Risk and evidence are fragmented across teams
- No leadership decision cadence exists
- You want an operating program rather than a binder of policies
What is this not?
- 24/7 SOC/MDR service
- Only a penetration test
- Scanner or agent resale
- Legal advice or regulatory representation
- A certification guarantee without operational change
Common questions
What happens in the first conversation?
We clarify current pressure, scope, customer/audit expectations, material risks, decision owners, and what output needs to exist in the first 30–90 days.
Does a virtual CISO replace a full-time CISO?
Not for every company. Fractional leadership can close the gap during growth; a full-time role is more appropriate when daily leadership of a larger team and continuous executive presence are required.
Are deliverables only documents?
No. The goal is an operable system: risk ownership, evidence map, executive reporting cadence, decision records, customer-assurance library, and an owned priority plan.
Does vciso.tr sell security products?
No. There is no software/license resale or vendor-commission model. Adding a new product is not the default answer when the current environment can solve the problem.
