TURN SECURITY FROM A SALES BLOCKER INTO A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

1. Close Enterprise Deals Faster

Stop losing deals to security questionnaires. We help you build the compliance posture enterprise customers require — ISO 27001, SOC 2, and beyond.

2. Pass Investor Due Diligence

VCs are scrutinizing security like never before. We ensure your security program demonstrates maturity, not just checkboxes, so that you can focus on your pitch.

3. Scale Without Security Bottlenecks

As you grow from 50 to 200+ employees, your security needs evolve. We build programs that scale with you, not slow you down.

Strategic Security Leadership

Roadmap development, risk assessments, board reporting, vendor security reviews. The strategic layer your growing company needs.

Compliance Certification

ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type I/II, and framework readiness. From gap analysis through audit preparation and certification body liaison.

Hands-On Implementation

Policy creation, control implementation, evidence collection. We don't just advise — we help you build.

Enterprise customers send complex security assessments. Expert responses that pass scrutiny — included in all vCISO engagements.

 SECURITY QUESTIONNAIRE SUPPORT

Enterprise deals don't wait. Neither should your responses.

Get Your Questionnaires Handled →

Your customer's security team reviews hundreds of questionnaires. They spot generic AI-generated answers immediately — and it raises red flags about your actual security posture.

We provide expert-crafted responses that reflect your real environment, address technical follow-ups, and move deals forward.

FAQs

 

How long does ISO 27001 certification typically take?

For most companies, 6-8 months from kickoff to certification. If you already have a GRC platform and some groundwork done, we can often accelerate to 4-5 months.

What if we already have a GRC platform but got stuck?

This is actually our most common scenario. Bring your existing platform — we'll assess where you are, prioritize what's left, and get you across the finish line.

Do you handle security questionnaires?

Yes. This is a core part of what we do. We provide expert-crafted responses that pass the scrutiny of enterprise security teams — not generic answers that raise red flags. Available as a standalone service or included in vCISO engagements.

What's included in the GRC platform for the Compliance Accelerator?

We include a market-leading platform fully configured and maintained throughout your engagement. It's yours to keep after the program.

Can we start with Advisor and upgrade later?

Absolutely. Many clients start with strategic guidance and move to Partner or Accelerator as their certification timeline becomes urgent.

What's the difference between standalone Questionnaire Support and vCISO?

Questionnaire Support focuses specifically on handling enterprise security assessments — ideal if you're not ready for broader security engagement. vCISO tiers include questionnaire support, strategic guidance, implementation support, and certification support.

What industries do you specialize in?

We focus on European tech companies — particularly DeepTech, CleanTech, SaaS, and robotics. Companies selling to enterprise customers who require compliance certifications.
