Most compliance tools were designed for a single organization with a single compliance goal. MSPs have a fundamentally different problem: hundreds of clients, dozens of frameworks, every industry, at volume — and margins that only work if the delivery model does not require headcount to scale with client count. RealCISO is the infrastructure that makes that math work.
Key features for MSP scale
Everything you need to run a profitable, scalable compliance practice — without proportional headcount growth.
Multi-tenant portfolio built for volume
Every client in its own isolated workspace. From your portfolio dashboard, see every client's status, outstanding control gaps, evidence expiration alerts and upcoming assessment renewal dates in one view. No account-switching. No spreadsheet tracking.
AI that does the assessment work
Cleo maps controls, scores maturity L1–L5 and generates remediation guidance from each client's actual assessment data and org profile — industry, team size, regulatory context, cloud environment. Your analysts review and advise; the AI executes the first pass.
Impact Simulation: computed prioritization
Every open control gap ranked by its actual score improvement potential, computed from the control and risk question tree. No manual tagging, no gut-feel prioritization. Every priority is backed by a number.
L1–L5 maturity — the differentiator in every client review
Track each client's progression from Ad-hoc (L1) to Optimizing (L5) over time, per control, aggregated to program level. Show a trend line, not a checklist. Nobody else tracks maturity trajectory over time at the control level.
White-label client delivery
Custom domain, custom logo, custom primary colours. Policy templates and report profiles pushed from your firm's workspace to every client. Your branded cyber program — not ours.
Evidence that collects itself
Connect a client's Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, Google Workspace, Okta, Intune, ConnectWise or Jamf environment and RealCISO pulls live configuration every 12 hours, graded by 386 automated tests. Expiring evidence surfaces across the whole portfolio, ranked by risk impact and audit proximity. See every integration →
Cyber insurance readiness
Switch on the insurance dashboard per client to show coverage readiness, control gaps by underwriter priority and audit-ready evidence for carriers — a renewal conversation your competitors cannot have.
Trust Center per client
Every paid client licence includes a live, shareable compliance posture page — no extra charge. Vanta charges around $6,000 a year for a comparable Trust Center. Learn more →
Multi-framework, single project
Assess a client's HIPAA and NIST CSF requirements simultaneously in one project. One evidence set, credited to both frameworks through cross-framework control mapping. Collect once, credit everywhere.
Portfolio Intelligence
Ranked, sized service opportunities across every client you manage — remediation projects, audit readiness, evidence automation, framework expansion, risk exposure and portfolio patterns — each backed by the finding that produced it. Ships with v2.14.0 on September 15. See how it works →
A revenue model built for MSPs
The economics work at volume because the pricing was designed for it: flat per-client licences you resell at your own price.
Flat per-client licences, from $42 a month
Starter $500, Premium $2,500 or Complete $4,000 per client per year. Mark up the platform, bundle it into your managed service, or sell compliance standalone. You own the client, the brand and the margin — platform cost runs under 4% of a typical vCISO retainer.
Complete: fully managed clients, one price
Platform, automated evidence from 15 integrations and unlimited vendor risk in a single per-client licence — capabilities no other vCISO platform automates. Prefer à la carte? Continuous Compliance and TPRM are $100 a month each, with flat partner discounts.
Stickier client relationships
L1–L5 maturity history and portfolio intelligence make your practice the source of truth for each client's compliance trajectory. That history lives in your workspace. You own it. Switching costs are real.
One platform. Every price on the page.
Registered, Silver and Gold program tiers add priority support, QBRs, a named partner manager and co-marketing as your book grows — the rate card stays the same.

How RealCISO stacks up
Why MSPs choose RealCISO over the alternatives — in plain language.
Why not Cynomi?
Purpose-built for MSPs with strong AI document generation. But: no white-label branding, no Impact Simulation, no maturity trajectory tracking, no immutable report versioning — and a custom licence quoted after a sales call. Our partner pricing is on the page; start with one client. See the comparison →
Why not Vanta?
Built for single-company SaaS compliance and priced per framework. Limited multi-tenant capability, no white-label, and the Trust Center is a ~$6K annual add-on. Not designed for MSP portfolio delivery at scale. See the comparison →
Why not Drata?
Single-company only — no multi-tenant MSP architecture. Cannot perform risk assessments, binary pass/fail control status, no maturity trajectory. Priced per framework on top of the platform fee.
Built by practitioners. Used by practitioners.
"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."
"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."

For MSPs FAQ
How do MSPs make money with RealCISO?
You hold one Consultant License and buy a flat licence per client — Starter $500, Premium $2,500 or Complete $4,000 per year — then resell compliance services at your own price, bundled into your managed service or standalone. Platform cost runs under 4% of a typical vCISO retainer. At sixteen or more clients the Gold tier waives the Consultant License.
Is each client's data isolated?
Yes. Every client lives in its own workspace with secure segregation between organizations. Your portfolio dashboard reads across them; nothing leaks between them.
What does the Complete licence include?
Everything in Premium plus Continuous Compliance — automated evidence from a client's cloud, identity, endpoint, EDR and vulnerability tools every 12 hours — and unlimited vendor risk management. One per-client price for a fully managed client.
Can we white-label the whole thing?
Yes: custom domain, your logo and primary colours on the platform, reports, Trust Center and vendor portal. Policy templates and report profiles are pushed from your firm's workspace to every client. Clients never see RealCISO unless you choose to show them.
How is this different from Cynomi?
Cynomi is purpose-built for MSPs with strong AI document generation, but it has no white-label branding, no Impact Simulation, no maturity trajectory tracking over time and no immutable report versioning — and it quotes a custom licence after a sales call. RealCISO's partner pricing is on the page, and you can start with a single client.
Do we need compliance specialists on staff?
No. Cleo does the first pass — control mapping, maturity scoring, remediation guidance tailored to each client's industry, size and regulatory context — and your existing engineers review and advise. Every framework is pre-built and included.
