Common Inquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CISOaaS software or a managed service?

CISOaaS is a managed cyber governance service, supported by platform and technology capabilities. You are engaging CISO leadership and a managed Cyber GRC operation, with the CISOaaS portal giving you visibility into the governance activities, evidence and reporting that service produces.

What does a CISOaaS subscription cover?

Every subscription combines CISO-level governance oversight, managed Cyber GRC activity and technology-enabled reporting. The depth of that coverage — how many frameworks and entities are in scope, the governance cadence, the level of CISO advisory capacity and the reporting rhythm — is what differs between plans and is scoped with you before you commit.

Can we start with a specific challenge rather than the full service?

Yes. A focused engagement can address a defined requirement — cyber risk and compliance, security assurance and audit readiness, third-party risk, data privacy, or CISO advisory — with the option to move into continuous managed governance through CISOaaS afterwards.

What if our organization does not fit a standard plan?

Organizations operating across multiple entities, countries or regulatory regimes are scoped individually. Talk to an advisor and we will work through your governance requirements before recommending an approach.
