Veritas gives growing and mid-market businesses a seasoned Chief Information Security Officer — on demand. We own your security risk so your leadership can focus on running the business.
Most growing companies have IT support, maybe even an MSP. What they lack is a senior executive who owns security risk — someone accountable to leadership, ready for an audit, an insurer, or a breach. That gap is exactly where Veritas steps in.

No long-term lock-inMost growing companies are stuck choosing between options that don't quite fit. Here's how the decision really shakes out.
A senior security executive commands $250K–$400K+ in salary and benefits, and is hard to recruit. For most SMBs, that's capacity you can't justify.
Too expensiveThey keep your systems running well — but they aren't accountable for security strategy, compliance frameworks, insurer requirements, or your board.
Leaves a leadership gapThe most expensive option of all. When — not if — something goes wrong, the downtime, recovery, and lost trust dwarf the cost of being prepared.

Still have questions? Talk to usA vCISO is a Chief Information Security Officer you engage part-time, on a retainer, instead of hiring full-time. You get the strategy, accountability, and board-level credibility of a senior security executive — owning your risk, compliance, and insurance readiness — without the six-figure salary.
IT teams and MSPs are essential — they keep your systems running and secure day to day. A vCISO sits above that: owning security strategy, compliance frameworks, cyber-insurance requirements, and board reporting. We complement your IT; we never compete with it.
Far less than a full-time CISO. Most engagements begin with a fixed-fee Risk Snapshot, and its cost is fully credited toward any ongoing work. Retainers are month-to-month and scoped to your size and needs — we'll give you a clear number after a short conversation.
More than ever. Smaller organizations are now targeted more often than large enterprises precisely because they have fewer defenses. Attackers, insurers, and your own customers all know it — which is why security has become a condition of doing business.
None that traps you. Projects like the Risk Snapshot are one-time. Ongoing vCISO advisory is month-to-month with no long-term lock-in — you stay because it's working, not because you're contractually stuck.
Book a free 30-minute consult or request a Risk Snapshot. We'll talk through what's prompting the conversation, scope the right next step, and give you a clear picture of where you stand — no obligation.
A Risk Snapshot is the simplest way to understand exactly where you stand — and it's fully credited toward any engagement that follows. No long-term commitment to find out.
