Traditional compliance consultants write reports and hand them over. We are an extension of your team — embedded, hands-on, and goal-driven from day one. Whether you're starting from zero, need a fractional CISO, or want to get audit-ready fast, we do the work and leave you with a running compliance program.
The compliance consulting industry runs on deliverables — gap reports, readiness assessments, framework maps — handed over at the end of an engagement, then left to gather dust. We measure success differently. Every engagement ends with a live compliance program your team can actually operate, artifacts in Simpra, and controls that pass an auditor's scrutiny. Not a document. A result.
Every engagement is scoped, fixed-fee, and ends with something your auditor can sign off on — and your team can actually operate.
Most companies approaching compliance for the first time face the same wall: too many frameworks, too much conflicting advice, and no clear path from where they are to where they need to be. The Initial Assessment cuts through that. In two to four weeks we map your current state, identify the right framework for your stage and buyers, and hand you a prioritized execution roadmap with no fluff and no surprises.
This isn't a consulting deliverable you'll shelve. It lands directly in Simpra as the foundation of your program — controls scoped, gaps logged, risk register initialized — ready to execute on day one.
Not every Series A or B company needs a full-time CISO. But every company dealing with enterprise customers, compliance requirements, or board-level security scrutiny needs someone who can play that role — credibly, continuously, and with real operational authority.
Our vCISO practice puts a CISO-experienced operator inside your team on a fractional basis. We don't consult from the outside. We're in your Slack, on your vendor calls, in your board meetings, and running your compliance program in Simpra — the same way an in-house hire would, at a fraction of the cost and with a team behind us that a solo hire couldn't match.
For teams that have a compliance program in motion but need expert execution capacity to get it to the finish line. We embed with your team, take ownership of specific program workstreams, and drive the work — not review the work someone else is doing.
Advisory engagements have a defined goal: SOC 2 readiness by a specific date, ISO 27001 gap closure, policy library built and approved. We scope to that goal and don't stop until it's done.
Starting fresh or migrating from a traditional GRC platform, our implementation team stands up your Simpra program in weeks, not months. Policies imported and mapped, controls wired to your frameworks, integrations live, evidence flowing, risk register populated. You inherit a running program, not a blank workspace to figure out.
We don't do open-ended retainers or billable-hour engagements. Every project has a defined goal, a fixed price, and a deliverable your auditor can sign off on.
A 30-minute call to understand where you are, where you need to get to, and what's in the way. No homework asked of you beforehand. No deck to prepare.
We send a SoW: deliverables, timeline, fee. No hourly billing, no per-meeting charges, no scope creep. You know exactly what you're buying before you commit.
Weekly check-ins, everything captured in your Simpra workspace. Progress is visible in real time. You're never waiting for a status update email.
The Initial Assessment is designed exactly for this. In 2–4 weeks we map your current state, select the right framework, and produce a prioritized roadmap that lands in Simpra ready to execute. You'll finish the engagement with clarity and a running program — not another consultant's report to figure out.
vCISO is an ongoing, fractional senior security leadership role — we own the security program the way an in-house CISO would, on a monthly retainer. Advisory is a project-scoped engagement with a specific goal: readiness by a date, policy library complete, ISO 27001 gap closed. Advisory ends when the goal is achieved. vCISO is continuous leadership. Most customers start with Assessment or Advisory and layer in vCISO as they grow.
Services work best on the platform — the artifacts land in a living system your team can operate long after the engagement ends. But we take services-only engagements when it's the right fit. We'll tell you upfront which approach makes more sense for your situation.
Initial Assessment: 2–4 weeks. Advisory: 8–16 weeks depending on scope and starting point. Implementation: 2–6 weeks. vCISO: minimum 3-month retainer, ongoing thereafter. Every engagement is fixed-fee and scoped before any paperwork is signed.
A core team of Simpra staff with deep compliance and security backgrounds — CISOs, GRC leads, auditors. You'll know exactly who is on your engagement before it starts. No bait-and-switch from senior to junior staff mid-project.
Enterprise deal stuck on a security review. No idea where to start. That's fine — tell us what's urgent and we'll figure out the right path together.
