RealCISO automates the execution layer across your client base so your expertise goes to the strategic and advisory work that only you can do.

Platform Capabilities

Why Consultants Choose RealCISO

Nine capabilities that let you run a scalable multi-client practice without proportional time investment.

AI That Runs the Assessment — You Run the Advisory

The AI maps controls across any framework, scores maturity L1–L5, ranks gaps by computed impact, and generates remediation guidance. You review, edit, and advise. Hours compressed to minutes.

Simulate Before You Recommend

Impact Simulation lets you run a what-if before presenting a remediation roadmap. Go into client conversations with data-backed prioritization, not gut feel. No other vCISO platform has this.

Multi-Client Portfolio — One Dashboard

See every client’s status, outstanding gaps, evidence expiration alerts, and upcoming assessment renewals from one view. Manage your practice, not individual projects.

L1–L5 Maturity Trajectory — Your Board-Level Story

Track each client’s progression from Ad-hoc to Optimizing across quarters. That’s not just a report — that’s your value as a vCISO, quantified and presentable to any board.

White-Label Client Delivery

Your clients see your practice. Custom branded portals, policy templates in your format, report profiles with your firm’s identity. Your clients never see RealCISO.

Immutable Report Versioning — Audit-Defensible History

Every report version is timestamped, actor-tracked, and immutably stored. When a client asks about prior posture, you have a precise, defensible answer — every time.

Evidence Expiration — You See It Before They Do

Expiring evidence surfaces across every client in your portfolio, ranked by risk impact and audit proximity. You know what’s degrading before the auditor finds it.

Trust Center per Client (Premium)

Share a live compliance posture page with each client’s customers, insurance carriers, and auditors. Vanta charges ~$6,000/year for this. It’s included in every RealCISO account.

Compliance Data Graph — Structurally Irreplaceable

Controls, Risks, Vendors, Evidence, Policies, People connected in a structured graph with maturity scoring and history on every edge. The longer you use it, the more valuable your data becomes.

Built by Practitioners

Not Another Tool Built by Someone Who’s Never Done the Work

RealCISO was co-founded by Brian Haugli and Nick Hnatiw — a security practitioner and a federal-government-trained software engineer. Every feature was designed by people who’ve lived this work at scale.
