Built for the way your practice delivers
Same platform, same AI engine, same pricing — three pages written for the three ways compliance gets delivered to clients.
Multiply your expertise, not your hours
AI runs the assessment work; you run the advisory. Start with one client on a $500 licence and grow into a book of business.
For Consultants →Add compliance revenue without adding headcount
Multi-tenant workspaces, white-label delivery and flat per-client licences that resell at your price.
For MSPs →Put compliance on top of security operations
Connect the EDR, vulnerability and MDM stack you already run and turn SOC data into audit-ready compliance posture.
For MSSPs →What is a vCISO platform?
A vCISO platform (virtual Chief Information Security Officer platform) is software that enables security professionals, MSPs and MSSPs to deliver CISO-level cybersecurity services to multiple clients simultaneously — without hiring a full-time CISO for each organization. A modern vCISO platform automates security assessments, compliance gap analysis, remediation planning and reporting across multiple frameworks (SOC 2, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CMMC and more) from a single multi-tenant dashboard.
RealCISO is a vCISO platform purpose-built for service providers managing 10 to 500+ client organizations — and, uniquely, it surfaces the service opportunities hiding inside that assessment data.

Scaling vCISO services gets harder with every client you add
Generic tools aren't built for multi-client compliance delivery. You end up managing spreadsheets instead of delivering security value.
Five, ten, twenty frameworks at once
You are not running one framework. You are running SOC 2, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, HIPAA and CMMC across your client base, each with different evidence, timelines and reports. Spreadsheets collapse under the weight.
Evidence hunting eats the billable day
Your consultants chase email trails, server logs, policy documents and audit reports across client environments. Time that should go to advice goes to admin.
Reports that dilute your brand
Off-the-shelf reports weaken client perception. You want deliverables that look like your work, with your name and your recommendations.
Remediation scattered across email and tickets
Findings get handed off and visibility disappears into threads, help-desk tickets and occasional calls. No single source of truth for what is fixed, in progress or overdue.
You can't see where the next engagement is
Your assessment data is full of sellable work: gaps nobody scoped, clients stalled at the same maturity level for three quarters, the same missing control across twenty accounts. That intelligence is trapped in individual engagements. Portfolio Intelligence surfaces it automatically →
Every new client means a new hire
Margins only work if delivery does not require headcount to scale with client count. Most tooling was built for one company's internal team, so it doesn't.
Six capabilities that let you serve 100+ clients without 100 new hires
Automated assessments
Run gap assessments against any of 20+ pre-built frameworks, ready on day one. Cleo maps controls, scores maturity L1–L5 and drafts remediation guidance; Impact Simulation ranks every open gap by its computed score improvement, so you know what to fix first. Hours, not weeks. Compare to Cynomi →
White-label reporting and dashboards
Your logo, your colours, your custom domain on every dashboard, report and Trust Center. Clients see your firm; RealCISO powers the engine. White-label is built in — not an add-on, not a custom project — and there are no platform fees visible to clients.
Managed remediation workflows
Every gap becomes a Planner task with an owner and a due date, tracked for every client from one dashboard, with Slack and email notifications. One source of truth for risk closure across your whole book — no more "did we fix that?" conversations.
Portfolio Opportunity Intelligence
Cleo reads gaps, maturity trends and evidence status across every client you manage and raises ranked service opportunities, each sized against your own rate card and backed by the finding that produced it. Expansion revenue from clients you already have. Ships with v2.14.0 on September 15. See Portfolio Intelligence →
Evidence that collects itself
Connect a client's cloud, identity, endpoint, EDR and vulnerability tools and RealCISO pulls live configuration every 12 hours, snapshots it as evidence and grades it against 386 automated tests — up to 57% of a full assessment from cloud and identity alone. See every integration →
Audits and a Trust Center per client
Run each client's audit from a tracked request list with fulfilment computed from evidence actually collected, and give every client a live Trust Center their customers, insurers and auditors can serve themselves from — included in every paid licence. Evidence & audits →
20+ pre-built frameworks. Zero framework setup.
Your clients ask for SOC 2. Then NIST. Then ISO 27001. Then HIPAA. They are all pre-built, cross-mapped and ready on day one — assess several in one project and credit one evidence set everywhere.
Every framework is included in every licence — no per-framework fees. See cross-framework mapping and the full list →
A multi-tenant dashboard built for volume
Unlike GRC tools built for single-company use, RealCISO's architecture was designed from the ground up for firms managing dozens or hundreds of client organizations.
Your portfolio, one pane of glass
- Every client in an isolated workspace, with secure segregation between organizations
- Status, outstanding gaps, evidence expiration and assessment renewals for every client in one view
- Risk scores rolled up across the whole portfolio
- Ranked service opportunities across that same portfolio, sized against your rate card
- New clients onboarded in minutes with templated setup
Your brand, your client relationships, our engine
- Custom branding: logo, colours and firm name throughout
- Custom domain as standard — clients log in to your platform
- Branded PDF reports, policy templates and report profiles pushed to every client workspace
- A shareable Trust Center per client for compliance proof
- Cyber insurance readiness dashboard, switched on per client
How RealCISO compares to generic GRC tools
Most GRC tools were built for a single company's internal team. RealCISO was purpose-built for service providers managing many.

Built by practitioners. Used by practitioners.
"RealCISO cut our assessment time in half. We used to spend 3 weeks on a NIST gap analysis — now it's done in days. The white-label reporting alone is worth the subscription."
"The multi-tenant dashboard is exactly what we needed. I can see every client's risk posture at a glance. No other vCISO software gives me that enterprise-level view at this price point."
"We added CMMC assessments to our service catalog in two weeks using RealCISO. The pre-built framework templates made it possible without hiring a CMMC specialist."

vCISO Platform FAQ
What is a vCISO platform?
A vCISO platform is software that lets a security consultant, MSP or MSSP deliver CISO-level security and compliance programs to many client organizations at once, without hiring a full-time CISO for each. It runs the assessments, maps controls across frameworks, tracks remediation and produces the reports, from one multi-tenant dashboard. RealCISO is a vCISO platform built specifically for service providers, and it also surfaces the service opportunities hiding inside that assessment data.
How does RealCISO pricing work for service providers?
Your firm holds one Consultant License, then adds a flat licence per client: Starter at $500 per client per year (partner-only), Premium at $2,500, or Complete at $4,000, which bundles automated evidence collection and unlimited vendor risk. Every framework is included in every licence. As your book grows you move through Registered, Silver and Gold program tiers; at Gold (16 or more clients) the Consultant License is waived. All of it is published on the pricing page.
Do my clients ever see RealCISO?
Not unless you want them to. White-label is built in, not an add-on: your logo, colours and custom domain on the platform, the reports, the Trust Center and the vendor portal. Policy templates and report profiles are managed once in your firm's workspace and pushed to every client.
What is Portfolio Intelligence?
Cleo, RealCISO's AI reasoning engine, reads gaps, maturity trends, evidence status and upcoming audits across every client you manage and raises ranked service opportunities, each sized against your own rate card and linked to the finding that produced it. Portfolio Opportunities ships with RealCISO v2.14.0 on September 15, 2026 and is included with the Consultant License.
Can RealCISO collect evidence automatically for my clients?
Yes. Connect a client's AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta, Intune, Jamf, Iru, CrowdStrike, ConnectWise, Tenable, Qualys or Enclave environment and RealCISO pulls live configuration every 12 hours, stores it as evidence and grades it against 386 automated tests. Cloud and identity alone evidence up to 57% of a full assessment. Continuous Compliance is included in the Complete client licence and available as a $100-per-month add-on on the others.
Can I try it before committing?
Yes. Sign up free and explore the platform with a real assessment. When you are ready to deliver client programs, convert to a Consultant License and add client licences as you sign clients.
