As your business grows, so do your cybersecurity responsibilities.

Enterprise customers expect security maturity. Investors ask about governance. Regulators demand compliance. Your board needs visibility into cyber risk.

But hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) isn't always practical.

SecComply's Virtual CISO (vCISO) service gives you experienced security leadership, strategic guidance, and ongoing execution—without the cost and commitment of a full-time executive.

Whether you need a trusted advisor, a complete security function, or additional delivery capacity, we become an extension of your team and help you build a security programme that grows with your business.

vCISO as a Service

Strategic Security Leadership for Growing Businesses

Ideal for organisations that need executive-level cybersecurity leadership but don't require a full-time CISO.

Your dedicated vCISO works closely with leadership teams to build, manage, and continuously improve your security programme.

Rather than simply providing recommendations, we take ownership of your security roadmap and help you make informed business decisions.

What We Help You With
  • Develop a cybersecurity strategy aligned with business goals
  • Build a practical security roadmap
  • Establish governance and risk management processes
  • Lead compliance initiatives (ISO 27001, SOC 2, ISO 42001, DPDP, HIPAA, GDPR)
  • Review security architecture and technology decisions
  • Support customer security reviews and due diligence
  • Prepare board and executive security reports
  • Manage security incidents and crisis response
  • Guide vendor selection and third-party risk management
  • Build internal security capabilities as your organisation grows
The First 90 Days

Every engagement begins with understanding your business.

We assess your current security posture, identify immediate risks, review compliance obligations, and develop a prioritised roadmap that balances quick wins with long-term improvements.

By the end of the engagement, leadership has complete visibility into where the organisation stands and what actions should be taken next.

CISO Office as a Service

More Than a CISO. An Entire Security Function.

A single CISO cannot manage cybersecurity alone.

An effective security programme requires governance, technical expertise, operational support, reporting, compliance management, and continuous monitoring.

Our CISO Office as a Service provides a fully managed cybersecurity function—combining experienced leadership, specialist teams, and our AI-enabled platform into one integrated solution.

Instead of hiring multiple security professionals, you gain access to an entire security office that works as part of your organisation.

Your Dedicated Security Office Includes
  • Virtual CISO
  • GRC Specialists
  • Cloud Security Experts
  • Application Security Specialists
  • AI Security Consultants
  • Compliance Advisors
  • Risk Management Experts
  • Security Awareness Support
  • Continuous Monitoring Platform
What We Manage
  • Security Governance
  • Risk Management
  • Compliance Programmes
  • Internal Audits
  • Security Assessments
  • Vendor Risk Management
  • Security Reporting
  • Incident Response Planning
  • Executive & Board Reporting
  • Security Roadmaps & KPIs
A Structured Operating Model

We don't just deliver projects—we establish an ongoing security function.

Our engagement includes:

  • Weekly operational reviews
  • Monthly risk and compliance reporting
  • Quarterly executive and board updates
  • Annual security planning and roadmap reviews
  • Clearly defined roles and responsibilities (RACI)
  • Continuous performance measurement through agreed KPIs and KRIs

As your organisation matures, we can continue operating as your security office or support the transition to an in-house team.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

vCISO as a Service gives you one named person who owns your security strategy and runs the program day to day. CISO Office as a Service gives you the whole function — strategy, GRC and technical specialists behind a lead, plus the reporting and audit machinery. The vCISO Partner Program is for consultancies and independent vCISOs rather than end clients: we act as your delivery bench so you can take on more work than you could staff alone.
Engagement models are flexible — from roughly 10 hours a month of advisory through to a full fractional leadership role. We size it to your stage, your compliance commitments and how much internal security capability you already have.
For many organisations, especially startups and mid-size companies, it provides equivalent strategic leadership at a fraction of the cost. As you grow into a permanent hire, the same team can run the function during the search and hand over a program that is already operating.
You hold the client relationship and we sit behind it. Work is scoped as fixed workstreams you can price into your own proposal, delivered and reported under your brand. It is designed so that adding a certification, a pen test or a cloud review to your offering does not require you to hire for it first.
We work with FinTech, SaaS, Healthcare, EdTech, E-commerce and D2C companies across India and globally.
