No Funding, No Problem: Why RealCISO is Winning Without Venture Capital

Scale vCISO Services with RealCISO

In an industry obsessed with fundraising announcements and eye-popping valuations, we’ve taken a different path — and it’s working.

Since day one in October 2020, RealCISO has been revenue-generating and profitable. We’ve never taken a dollar of outside investment. No venture capital, no Series A, B, or C — and no distractions.

Instead of selling shares, we’ve focused on earning trust. Today, over 2,800 organizations use RealCISO to assess risk, align to frameworks, and power their vCISO and consulting practices. That’s not potential. That’s real traction.

While others fundraise, we build.

There’s no shortage of cybersecurity startups announcing $30M+ raises and promising to “disrupt” risk management with AI-driven platforms. But here’s the reality:

  • Many of these platforms are still figuring out product-market fit.
  • Their tools are often bloated, confusing, or rely too heavily on automation without context.
  • We’ve seen multiple customers switch to RealCISO from competitors like Cynomi — citing ease of use, faster ROI, and more practical outputs.

We focus on what matters: real outcomes.

RealCISO was built to solve a clear problem: help security leaders and consultants rapidly assess, prioritize, and act on cyber risk. That’s it. And we’ve done it by:

  • Supporting over 15+ frameworks out of the box.
  • Enabling MSPs, MSSPs, and consultants to scale their vCISO offerings.
  • Delivering results that speak for themselves — not in pitch decks, but in dashboards, reports, and client wins.

No fundraising. No fluff. Just forward momentum.

We don’t need a TechCrunch headline to validate our approach. We have clients — lots of them — and they keep growing.

So while others celebrate funding rounds, we’ll celebrate another week of new customer wins and another day of being cashflow positive.

If you’re tired of the hype and ready to get real about cyber risk — you know where to find us.

Try RealCISO today. No funding required.
