4.8/5 across 223 reviews on SourceForge · #1 vCISO platform on G2, Summer 2026
MSSPs are in the best position in the market to add vCISO services: you already have the client relationships, the security engineering depth and the recurring revenue model. What most MSSPs lack is the platform infrastructure to deliver compliance advisory at portfolio scale without blowing the margin on analyst time. RealCISO is that infrastructure.
Built for the MSSP delivery model
Nine capabilities that let your existing security team deliver structured compliance advisory — no compliance specialists required.
Compliance assessment on top of your security operations
Your SOC catches threats. RealCISO connects them to compliance posture — bidirectional control ↔ risk mapping means that when a control degrades, the risk register re-scores automatically. See risk management →
Bring your security stack
Read-only integrations with CrowdStrike, Tenable, Qualys, Microsoft Intune, Jamf, Iru, ConnectWise and Enclave — plus cloud and identity — pull live findings and configuration every 12 hours and grade them against 386 automated tests. EDR coverage, vulnerability age, MFA and encryption state become evidence on their own. See every integration →
AI assessment engine — no compliance specialists required
Cleo maps controls, scores maturity and generates remediation guidance tailored to each client's regulatory context and org profile. Your existing security engineers deliver structured compliance assessments.
Multi-framework, single project delivery
Assess HIPAA, NIST CSF and SOC 2 for the same client in one project. One evidence set, credited across all three through cross-framework control equivalencies.
Portfolio view at MSSP scale
Every client's compliance posture from one dashboard — assessment status, control maturity by category, evidence expiration alerts, outstanding gaps ranked by risk impact — with each client isolated in its own workspace.
L1–L5 maturity — quantified improvement over time
Track how each client's security program progresses across quarters, per control, with revisions sealed automatically. Show trend lines, not checklists. That is a renewal conversation, not a status report.
White-label delivery
Your brand on every client deliverable — custom domain, logo, colours. Policy templates and report profiles managed centrally and pushed to every client workspace, with a Trust Center per client included in every paid licence.
Asset inventory from the tools you run
Every device, account and cloud resource your integrations report, merged into one record per asset with tri-state posture — so "unreported" is never mistaken for "no". Early Access. Learn more →
Portfolio Intelligence
Cleo reads gaps, maturity trends, evidence status and upcoming audits across every client and raises ranked, sized service opportunities with the finding behind each one. Ships with v2.14.0 on September 15. See how it works →
Revenue. Retention. Differentiation.
Revenue
In conversations with RealCISO partners, vCISO services typically add $10K–$80K a year in contract value per client. With multi-tenant delivery you add clients without proportionally adding analyst hours, and platform cost runs under 4% of a typical retainer. The margin works.
Retention
Maturity trajectory data and portfolio intelligence create real switching costs. The compliance history you build for each client lives in your workspace. That history is the stickiness.
Differentiation
No other vCISO platform combines L1–L5 maturity trajectory, Impact Simulation and Portfolio Intelligence under your own brand, fed by the security stack you already operate. White-label makes it yours. Your clients never see RealCISO.

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."
"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."
Not another tool built by someone who has never done the work

For MSSPs FAQ
How does RealCISO connect to the security stack we already run?
Read-only integrations with CrowdStrike, Tenable, Qualys, Microsoft Intune, Jamf, Iru, ConnectWise and Enclave — alongside AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Okta — pull live configuration and findings every 12 hours and grade them against 386 automated tests. Endpoint coverage, vulnerability age, MFA enforcement and encryption state become compliance evidence without an analyst touching a spreadsheet.
Do we need compliance specialists to deliver vCISO services?
No. Cleo maps controls, scores maturity and drafts remediation guidance tailored to each client's regulatory context and org profile; your existing security engineers review and advise. Every framework is pre-built and included in every licence.
What happens when a control degrades?
Control-to-risk mapping is bidirectional: when a control's maturity drops — because a test failed, evidence expired or an answer changed — the risks it addresses re-score automatically, and the Planner task that closes the gap is linked to both.
How much can vCISO services add per client?
In conversations with RealCISO partners, vCISO services typically add $10,000 to $80,000 a year in contract value per client, depending on scope and framework. With multi-tenant delivery you add clients without adding analyst hours proportionally, and platform cost runs under 4% of a typical retainer.
Can our clients see it under our brand?
Yes. Custom domain, your logo and colours on the platform, reports, Trust Center and vendor portal; policy templates and report profiles managed centrally and pushed to every client workspace. Your clients never see RealCISO unless you choose to show them.
What does it cost?
One Consultant License for your firm, then a flat licence per client: Starter $500 (partner-only), Premium $2,500 or Complete $4,000 per year — Complete bundles automated evidence and unlimited vendor risk. All prices are published on the pricing page, and the Consultant License is waived at the Gold tier (16+ clients).
