Advisory Services
Get the strategic security leadership your organization needs — without the cost, complexity, or commitment of a full-time hire.
"Our board finally understands our security risk. Having a vCISO changed the conversation entirely — from technical jargon to business risk we could act on."— CISO, Mid-Market Financial Services
How It Works
Our vCISO embeds as a senior member of your leadership team, providing strategic oversight across all pillars of your security program. Unlike a consultant who delivers a report and leaves, our vCISO is with you every month — in board meetings, vendor evaluations, and incident calls.
Coverage
Security policy development, standards alignment, and board accountability frameworks that make your program auditable and defensible.
Enterprise risk register, threat landscape assessment, and risk appetite definition tied directly to your business objectives.
Regulatory gap analysis across SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, HIPAA, and PCI DSS — mapped to a single, unified remediation roadmap.
IR plan development, tabletop exercises, and breach communication protocols so your team knows exactly what to do when it matters.
Technology selection, budget planning, and vendor evaluation grounded in your risk profile and tied to measurable business outcomes.
Third-party risk program, supplier security assessments, and contract review to ensure your supply chain doesn't become your vulnerability.

Why Cythelligence
Our advisors have held the CISO chair at organizations like yours. They know what works because they've done it — and they know the pressure of sitting in that seat when a breach hits the news.
We attend your meetings, answer your calls, and respond to your incidents. A real partner, not a quarterly check-in. Our vCISO's calendar has your name on it — permanently.
Security serves the business. Every recommendation is framed in terms of risk, cost, and business impact — not CVE scores and technical jargon that stops at the IT department.
