The OXEN Advantage

Through regular strategic engagement, recognized cybersecurity frameworks, and coordination with internal and external stakeholders, OXEN helps organizations develop a stronger, more accountable security program while making efficient use of existing personnel, technology, and financial resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this service designed for?

Organizations that need experienced security leadership but don't have the headcount or budget for a full-time CISO. It's a strong fit for companies facing compliance requirements, security program gaps, or board-level pressure around cybersecurity, without the ability to hire a dedicated executive.

What does the monthly engagement actually look like?

Each month includes a structured meeting with a documented agenda and notes, progress review against the security roadmap, and work on current priorities (policy updates, compliance tasks, architecture decisions, etc.). Quarterly, we add a full onsite meeting with your leadership team.

What's the CIS Secure Portal and why does it matter?

The CIS Secure Portal is the platform used to conduct and track CIS Controls assessments. Your organization gets access alongside OXEN, so you can view your maturity scores and progress data directly rather than waiting for a report.

How is vCISO Services priced?

This is a monthly managed service. Reach out to OXEN for current pricing based on your organization's size and requirements.

What optional services can be added?

Tabletop exercises, in-person or online staff training, supply chain policy development, and EOS-structured security meeting formats can be added to the engagement. These are scoped separately.

What's NOT included?

Hands-on technical remediation, security tool management, and 24x7 monitoring are not part of this service. vCISO Services is strategic and governance-focused. Technical execution is handled through separate managed services agreements.

How long before we see results?

The first 60-90 days focus on establishing baseline, building the roadmap, and getting foundational policies in place. From there, the engagement is an ongoing program, not a one-time project. Measurable progress against CIS Controls is visible through the portal.

What happens if our compliance requirements change mid-engagement?

Your vCISO adapts the roadmap and policy work to address new requirements as they emerge. That's part of what ongoing engagement means, you're not locked into a plan that was written six months ago.
