Not just a vCISO. An embedded security team—strategy, adversarial testing, and engineering—integrated into your organization at a fraction of the cost.
A vCISO tells you what your security program should look like. A fractional security team builds it, tests it, and maintains it. The vCISO governs the program. The adversarial tester finds the gaps before attackers do. The security engineer closes them.
Most companies at early to mid-stage don't need a full-time version of any of these. But they need all three—and they need them to work together. That's what the ZIVIS Fractional Security Team is.
Two practitioners. Full coverage across strategy, attack, and engineering.
Security leadership at the executive level
Former VP of Security at Salesforce. 30+ years of enterprise security leadership. Has managed ~40 global certifications including FedRAMP and HiTrust at Fortune 500 scale.
Hands-on attack, build, and remediation
Adversarial security practitioner and security tooling engineer. Conducts AI red team engagements, builds threat models, and implements the controls that close the gaps.
When strategy and execution live in the same engagement
Both team members understand AI systems—not just traditional security mapped onto LLMs, but actual agentic risks, semantic attack surfaces, and the unique threat landscape of AI-powered products.
No gap between governance and implementation. The vCISO defines the posture; the security engineer builds it. The adversarial tester proves whether it works.
Not a point-in-time engagement. Your threat model evolves with your product. Red team findings feed directly into remediation. Compliance stays current.
The combined cost of a full-time CISO + security engineer + red teamer exceeds $500K annually. Fractional gives you all three at a fraction of that—right-sized to your stage.
When something goes wrong, you have people who know your systems, your architecture, and your risk profile. Not a vendor you're onboarding during a crisis.
The ZIVIS platform automates continuous scanning, evidence collection, and monitoring. The team handles what automation can't: judgment, context, and adversarial creativity.
Tailored to your stage, goals, and AI architecture
Strategy + execution + engineering, embedded in your org
You're closing enterprise deals and they're asking for SOC 2, penetration test reports, and a CISO to call. We give you all three without a full-time headcount.
Compliance requirements increasingly demand technical evidence, not just policies. We handle the governance and run the tests that produce the evidence.
You had an incident. You need to understand what happened, fix the gaps, and demonstrate to customers and regulators that your posture is different now. That requires both strategy and hands-on remediation.
