Security leadership, without the full-time hire
Most small and mid-sized businesses can't justify a full-time CISO, yet they still face the same threats, audits, and customer security questionnaires as the enterprise. Our vCISO service gives you that senior leadership on a fractional basis: someone accountable for your security program, your compliance posture, and the roadmap that gets you there.
Why Purple Raven
The vCISO that operates like one of your own
Most vCISOs hand you a checklist and a quarterly call. We operate like an in-house contributor who actually moves the business forward.
Revenue-aware
We tie security decisions to the deals and revenue they protect or unlock, so the program moves the business forward, not just the risk register.
Threat-model-led
We start from threat modeling, not generic checklists, so the work targets your real exposure and lands as practical, prioritized outcomes.
Product and enterprise
We operate at both levels: securing the products you build and ship, and the enterprise that runs the business day to day.
Always available
You get the responsiveness of a full-time hire. We stay embedded and reachable like a member of your team, not a consultant you can only book on a call.
