Why Choose Breach Craft for Your Virtual CISO Needs

Virtual CISO (vCISO) services have become common, but quality varies significantly between providers. Breach Craft has developed a model addressing traditional limitations through collaborative, team-based security leadership.

Key Differentiators

1. Collaborative Team vs. Solo Practitioner

Rather than assigning a single consultant, Breach Craft provides a dedicated point of contact supported by the entire team behind the scenes. This enables:

• Diverse expertise across security domains
• Stress-tested solutions against broader experience before implementation
• Backup coverage ensuring continuity during absences
• Collective problem-solving for complex challenges

You get the consistency of a primary contact with the depth of an entire security team.

2. Cross-Industry Knowledge Sharing

Our team collaborates on challenges across customers, creating advantages including:

• Early threat awareness from observations across our client base
• Strategy cross-pollination between industries facing similar challenges
• Rapid vulnerability response based on collective intelligence
• Proven solutions validated across multiple environments

What works in one industry often applies to others. Our team structure ensures these insights flow to all clients.

3. Flexible Hour Management

Monthly allocations range from 10-60 hours with allowance for front-loading without automatic overages. Our approach emphasizes:

• Long-term averages rather than strict monthly accounting
• Front-loading for intensive project phases
• Trust-based relationships over bean-counting
• Flexibility during incidents or urgent needs

We’re building partnerships, not maximizing billable hours.

4. Vendor Neutrality

The firm maintains independence without financial incentives to recommend specific products or upsell additional services. Our recommendations focus exclusively on client needs, not commission structures.

5. Extensive Partner Network

For implementation work requiring specialized expertise or additional capacity, we maintain vetted partner relationships. These arrangements come without vendor lock-in or obligation—we connect you with resources, not sales pipelines.

6. Fixed Annual Terms

One-year contracts with clear terms, fixed monthly allocations, and predictable pricing eliminate surprise invoices. You know exactly what you’re paying for and what you’ll receive.

Organizations That Benefit Most

Our collaborative vCISO model particularly benefits organizations facing:

• Complex multi-domain challenges requiring diverse expertise
• Growing security programs needing strategic guidance
• Regulated industry compliance with ongoing requirements
• Unique security contexts benefiting from cross-industry perspective

Real-World Example

A Colorado financial services firm leveraged 20 monthly hours for:

• PKI infrastructure guidance and implementation
• Data protection standards development
• Physical security enhancement recommendations
• Incident response procedures development and testing

The combined expertise of our team addressed challenges spanning multiple security domains—capabilities difficult to find in a single solo practitioner.

Beyond Traditional vCISO

Traditional vCISO arrangements often provide a single consultant working in isolation. Our model delivers:

• Team expertise applied to your challenges
• Peer review of recommendations before implementation
• Continuity across personnel changes
• Depth unavailable from individual practitioners

Security leadership requires more than one person’s perspective. Our collaborative approach delivers superior results through combined expertise.
