Vrinik proves it. Fractional CISO leadership, incident response, and compliance readiness — delivered by the practitioner who builds security programmes that pass audits and survive real incidents. Evidence. Not theory.
Advisory frames the work. Assessment exposes the gaps. Compliance evidences the controls. Resilience holds the line when tested. Every engagement covers all four — by the same practitioner.
Frames the work.
Board-level security leadership retained on your terms — without the full-time hire. Everything a CISO does, structured around your stage and budget.
All the strategic security leadership of a CISO, structured for remote-first companies and fast-moving teams that need flexibility over presence.
Exposes the gaps.
A ranked, NIST-benchmarked picture of risk exposure — with a prioritised roadmap that tells the business exactly where to invest first.
Security designed in from the start — not retrofitted after the build. Identity-first patterns, zero-trust boundaries, and controls that scale with the business.
Adversary-emulation testing with practitioner depth — not a tool-driven scan dressed up as a pen test. Findings prioritised by exploitability and business impact.
Evidences the controls.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, PCI DSS — from gap assessment to audit-ready programme. Built from the controls up, not from a framework template down.
Policies, governance frameworks, and information classification built to hold up under audit — not just to exist on paper.
DPDP, GDPR, and cross-border data handling built into how the business actually operates — not a policy library that ignores engineering and sales reality.
Holds the line when tested.
Incident response plans and tabletop exercises built around the actual environment — so the team knows what to do before the event, not during it.
Business continuity and disaster recovery built around real RTO and RPO targets the business can actually meet — tested, evidenced, signed off.
Six stages, from first conversation to the year after certification. Each builds on the last. No stage skipped. No stage handed off.
Understanding the operations, the regulatory pressure, and the board’s questions — before any recommendation is made.
A structured assessment that separates real exposure from noise. Findings ranked by what actually moves the business — not by severity score alone.
Phased, budget-conscious, and built around how the business actually operates — not a framework template applied generically.
Hands-on delivery. Policies written. Controls implemented. Evidence collected. The work other firms describe in a slide deck.
Pre-audit internal review and gap remediation. Audit day becomes confirmation of work done, not discovery of problems missed.
Continued advisory as the business grows, the threat surface evolves, and regulatory expectations rise. Security is never finished.
