Virtual CISO (vCISO) Pricing

vCISO (virtual Chief Information Security Officer) cost can vary depending on the size and complexity of your organization, as well as the specific services provided by the vCISO. Some vCISOs offer different levels of service, such as basic consulting and advice, to more comprehensive services that include security assessments, incident response planning, and ongoing monitoring and management. It is important to work with a vCISO who will understand the specific needs of your organization and can provide a customized solution that fits your budget.

Cloud9 Data offers a choice of ala carte hourly or fixed monthly plans to meet a wide range of requirements.

vCISO pricing is generally more cost-effective than hiring a full-time, in-house CISO. Hiring a full-time CISO can be a significant expense for an organization, as they typically command a high salary and benefits package costing up to $300K/yr.

Additionally, the cost of recruiting, training, and maintaining a full-time CISO can be significant. On the other hand, vCISO services are typically provided on a retainer basis, which allows organizations to budget for the cost of security expertise.
Another benefit of vCISO is that it allows organizations to have access to a wider pool of expertise and experience, as vCISOs are often providing services to multiple organizations. Additionally, vCISOs are often more flexible and able to adapt to the changing needs of the organization.
Overall, vCISO can be a good option for organizations that want to have access to a high level of security expertise but are not able to justify the cost of hiring a full-time CISO.
