NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Framework Security’s vCISO program stands out for its flexible, high-impact approach that brings real cybersecurity leadership to growing organizations. In a field often filled with cookie-cutter offerings, Framework provides personalized, hands-on guidance that helps companies navigate risk, compliance, and growth at the same time.

The vCISO team is made up of seasoned security leaders who work closely with each client’s executive, product, and engineering teams. Rather than relying on policy templates or static dashboards, Framework’s vCISOs offer real-time input during audits, vendor reviews, product launches, and infrastructure planning. Their focus is always on aligning security with business goals.

One of the biggest strengths of the program is its adaptability. Clients can scale up or down depending on their current needs. Whether it is a startup preparing for SOC 2 or a mature company aligning to NIST CSF 2.0, the program adjusts to meet them where they are. Clients also have direct access to analysts and engineers, ensuring that advice is not only strategic but also practical and actionable.

Framework also brings innovation to the vCISO space by combining advisory with execution support. Services like AI risk assessments, Secureframe replacements, TX-RAMP readiness, and privacy gap analyses are all built into the offering. Clients get more than guidance—they get results that move projects forward.

This approach has earned Framework Security strong client loyalty and consistent referrals. Many clients begin with a specific need and expand their engagement over time because of the value delivered. The vCISO model continues to evolve with client demands, supporting secure growth without slowing down innovation.

Framework’s vCISO program is modern, responsive, and focused on what matters most to the organizations it serves. It offers a better way to manage security leadership—one that is flexible, embedded, and built for today’s pace of change.
