Ongoing cyber management —
without building an in-house security team.
Customers ask for security questionnaires. Suppliers demand compliance. One cyber incident can halt operations and damage trust built over years. CISO-as-a-Service gives management a single professional address for cyber — through AYIT OS.
When cyber demands pile up and no one owns the agenda end-to-end.
Customers and business partners send security requirements. Management needs a clear view of where the organization stands. Someone has to turn those requirements into a work plan that can actually be executed and tracked. CISO-as-a-Service gives management one accountable point of contact for the cyber agenda — scoped to the size and pace of the business, without standing up an in-house security function.
A methodology built in regulated environments.
This service builds on experience the founder accumulated in previous roles serving financial organizations under regulatory supervision. The methodology, the deliverables, the cadence, the board reporting — all shaped in environments where mistakes have real consequences.
What changes when working with an SMB? The size of the team. The complexity of the systems. The pace.
- Quarterly security strategy aligned with business goals
- Policy & procedure ownership — written, maintained, reviewed
- Security questionnaire responses for prospects and customers
- Board reporting — monthly metrics, quarterly deep-dive
- Incident response readiness — response runbook, drills and availability during an incident, according to the selected plan
- Compliance program management — Amendment 13, ISO 27001, sectoral
- Ongoing engagement at a fixed monthly fee, no hourly billing
- AYIT OS is how the service runs. Every risk, task, owner and remediation lives in one place — so a boutique engagement delivers the tracking and board-level visibility you'd expect from a full in-house team.
A predictable cadence that scales with you.
Month 1 — Initial mapping
Risk assessment, an initial picture of the current environment and a first report to management. The posture is mapped before anything is changed.
Ongoing cadence
A weekly meeting, monthly metrics and a quarterly strategy review. A predictable rhythm, defined in advance.
Incident escalation
Availability and incident response times are defined in the service agreement and depend on the selected service plan. During an incident — we coordinate the response and work alongside the professional IR team, as the party that knows your environment firsthand.
Quarterly program review
Check whether the current program still fits. Adjust scope up or down as your business grows.
Programs tailored to your business.
CaaS pricing depends on company size, regulatory burden, and reporting requirements. After our discovery call, you receive a fixed-price proposal — no hourly billing, no surprises.
What happens if I have a security incident outside business hours?
Availability and incident response times are defined in the service agreement and depend on the selected service plan. The definition of a "critical" event and the corresponding response window are agreed at the start of the engagement.
Will I have a dedicated point of contact?
Yes. Your engagement is led by senior practitioners only — no junior rotations. You'll have a dedicated point of contact who knows your environment from day one.
How is this different from buying a security product?
Products solve specific problems. A CISO solves the strategic problem — what to buy, what to skip, how to prioritize, what to tell the board. The service runs through AYIT OS, supporting risk, task and remediation tracking.
Can I switch to a smaller program if business slows?
Yes. Quarterly reviews are designed exactly for that — scaling up or down based on what your business actually needs.
What's the minimum commitment?
3 months. After that — per the contract we sign together, tailored to your needs.
