  • Executive Insight.
Security expertise that sits at the table, not just on the sidelines—because when you can’t afford to get it wrong, you need a vCISO that gets it right.

Is Your Organization Truly Cyber Ready?

Most businesses lack the in-house expertise to manage evolving cyber threats, regulatory compliance or internal security leadership.

Do Any of These Situations Sound Familiar?

No Security Program in Place

"We need someone to develop and oversee our security program."

Cyber Threats Go Unmonitored

"We don't have anyone monitoring cybersecurity threats."

"Who owns the cybersecurity budget here?"

We are your vCISO for that and so much more.


What Exactly is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity is not just an IT issue—it’s a business continuity issue. One breach can cost you contracts, compliance, and customer trust. Direnzic helps businesses identify vulnerabilities, build stronger defenses, and maintain operational security in an evolving threat landscape.

Cyber threats don’t discriminate. Whether you’re a growing business or managing critical infrastructure, your cybersecurity strategy determines your resilience.

What exactly is a vCISO?

A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is an outsourced cybersecurity executive who provides strategic security leadership, risk management, compliance guidance, and incident response oversight — without the cost of a full-time, in-house hire. A vCISO ensures your business is protected, audit-ready, and operating with a proactive cybersecurity roadmap.

What industries do you specialize in?

While we serve a wide range of clients, our strongest past performance spans several high-impact sectors, including:

  • Transportation
  • Water Treatment & Utilities
  • Government & Municipal Agencies
  • Manufacturing & Industrial Operations
  • Healthcare & HIPAA-Regulated Environments
  • Financial Services & Fintech
  • Entertainment & Media Production

These industries trust Direnzic because we understand their unique risk profiles, compliance mandates, and operational demands. No matter your field, we bring strategic, results-driven cybersecurity leadership tailored to your business.

What’s the difference between your service tiers?

Each of our service tiers is designed to align with your organization’s size, risk exposure, and regulatory needs:

🔰 Strategic Start ($4,500/mo): For SMBs with emerging security needs such as baseline compliance and security monitoring. Build a compliance-ready core that includes monthly reviews, basic assessments, policy development, quarterly executive reporting, and 4 hours of support.

🛡️ Executive Oversight ($8,500/mo): For mid-market firms and growing businesses with compliance and threat response needs.

Do we need a vCISO if we already have an IT team?

Yes. Your IT team manages day-to-day tech operations, but a vCISO provides strategic oversight, ensuring your business meets cybersecurity best practices, passes audits, reduces legal exposure, and recovers quickly from threats. We compliment your IT staff by focusing on risk, governance, compliance, and cyber resilience — not device management.

What makes Direnzic different from other security consultants?

Direnzic isn’t just another vendor. We’re deeply embedded partners with decades of experience protecting critical infrastructure, water utilities, municipalities, and regulated industries. What sets us apart:

Clear communication — we explain cybersecurity in business terms, not tech jargon.
Tailored strategy — no generic templates, only custom plans that align to your business.
Compliance expertise — we speak fluent NIST, CMMC, HIPAA, and EPA.
Engagement — we offer interactive training, live exercises, and real-world readiness.

How quickly can you respond to a security incident?

For our Advanced, Critical Infrastructure, and Enterprise clients, we offer Incident Response retainers. Each retainer level adheres to their own incident SLA. Contact us for more information on our Incident Response retainers.

Is there a minimum contract period?

Yes. To ensure we deliver meaningful results, we require a 12-month minimum for Strategic Start and Executive Oversight tiers, and a 36-month minimum for Critical Systems Command and Enterprise CISO+™ Program tiers. Cybersecurity maturity takes time — and we’re with you every step of the way.
