Hire a real human CISO
for your business — instantly.
You tell us your infrastructure. We begin maintaining it today: continuous, non-destructive security scans of every machine and external-facing point you have, reviewed by a named security chief who answers for your posture. We've got your IT covered.
Monitoring starts the day you sign up
No six-week onboarding. No consultants scoping a statement of work. Three steps.
Tell us your infrastructure
Domains, servers, cloud accounts, machines — as many as you want. Five minutes in the dashboard.
Verify ownership
A DNS record or a file on your site proves the assets are yours. We never scan anything unverified — it's a hard gate, not a policy. How authorization works.
First scan runs tonight
Your named CISO reviews the results and delivers your baseline report with professional upgrade recommendations within five business days.
Honest pricing
Our platform does the continuous monitoring, so your expert's time goes purely into judgment — recommendations, incidents, your questionnaires. That's why these prices look the way they do.

Buy either plan, get the matching plan from the other brand at half price, permanently. And every plan already includes a free DigitalRiskWatch subscription — our self-serve scanning product, up to $599/mo value — which is what qualifies you for half-price incident response.
Built to be trusted with your infrastructure
Verified ownership, always
We cannot scan an asset until you cryptographically prove you own it — DNS record or hosted file. This is enforced by the platform, not by promise, and you get the full log of everything we run. Read our authorization policy.
Non-destructive by design
Regular comprehensive testing that never disrupts your systems. Anything more intrusive happens only under a separately signed authorization scope, through our sales team.
Real, named humans
Your CISO has a name, a face, credentials, and your account in their book. Meet them on your dashboard — they write your recommendations and answer for them.
Fair questions
Why is this so much cheaper than a vCISO firm?
Because you're not paying a senior expert to run scans and format reports. Our platform does that continuously. You pay for their judgment — the recommendations, the incident decisions, the questionnaire answers.
We already have an IT company. Do we have to switch?
No — keep them. They operate your IT; we're the executive layer they don't provide: security accountability, a strategy, and someone who answers "are we secure?" in one page instead of tickets. Your IT provider will like our reports.
Is the scanning safe?
Everything is non-destructive, scheduled, and logged. Nothing runs against assets you haven't verified you own. We carry errors & omissions and cyber liability insurance, and we pass our own scans.
What happens when you find something serious?
We proactively handle incidents as we find them, and you choose how to be told: email, SMS, or an actual telephone call. If hands-on emergency response is needed, subscribers pay half price on the entire engagement.
We're too small to be a target… right?
43% of Canadian organizations were hit by a cyber attack last year, and attackers automate — they scan everyone, small first, because small usually means undefended. That's exactly why the $149 plan exists.
