The service covers compliance frameworks including HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and NIST standards, providing audit-ready documentation and policy alignment support. HERO's vCISOs conduct risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities and threats, develop custom security policies covering access control and data handling, and create incident response playbooks. The service includes vendor oversight to review contracts and tools, executive-level reporting for board presentations, and integration of security strategy into IT and business decisions. The vCISO works alongside leadership teams to build long-term security strategies while addressing immediate security needs. Services are delivered at a flat monthly cost, providing predictable pricing compared to full-time CISO employment. The offering is designed to help organizations meet compliance requirements, reduce security risks, and establish security frameworks that scale with business growth.
