BEFORE YOU ASK

Common SMB questions.

We already have an internal IT lead. Where do you fit?
Above day-to-day IT, as the security and architecture function — we set the standard your lead runs to.
How long until we’re defensible?
A four-week audit, then eight to twelve weeks of stabilisation. Defensibility is a date, not a slogan.
Can you take over from our current provider?
Yes. A 30–60-day vendor takeover stabilises inherited systems before the retainer begins.
Do we have to bundle?
No. Each engagement stands alone. The bundle is a price, not a lock-in.
How large a vCISO do we need?
Sized to headcount and obligation. Fractional leadership starts at $3,000 CAD/mo for 50–250-person firms.
