The vCISO Audit
An independent review of what your vCISO engagement is actually delivering — with a written scorecard and a clear verdict.
Who this is for
"We have a vCISO and can't articulate what they've delivered this quarter — and we're not confident our program is where they say it is."
"We're being pitched vCISO services and can't compare the proposals — the scope language sounds the same across providers and we don't know what to look for."
"Our audit is approaching and we have a nagging concern that the program isn't as ready as our vCISO's status updates suggest."
What you get
- ✓Structured intake review of your engagement — contract scope, monthly cost, delivery history, and current program state as you understand it.
- ✓Assessment against the independent 25-point vCISO deliverables checklist — the same checklist published at what-a-vciso-should-deliver, applied to your actual engagement.
- ✓Optional read-only review of your Vanta, Drata, or other compliance platform instance for program-health evidence — test pass rates, evidence currency, evidence gaps, outstanding tasks.
- ✓Written scorecard — what exists, what's missing, what appears overpriced or underscoped for your program's actual needs.
- ✓A clear verdict: On Track / Gaps to Address / Consider a Change
- ✓30-minute readout call to walk through findings, answer questions, and discuss next steps based on the verdict.
How it works
- Request the audit. Complete the short intake form below. We'll review your request and reply within 1 business day to confirm the audit is the right fit and discuss the intake process.
- Intake. We send a structured questionnaire covering your vCISO engagement scope, monthly cost, contract terms, and delivery history. Optionally, you grant us read-only access to your compliance platform. We work from your documentation — we don't conduct interviews with your vCISO provider.
- Scorecard and readout. Within 5 business days of receiving your completed intake, you receive the written scorecard by email. We then schedule a 30-minute readout call to walk through findings and next steps.
Pricing
Flat fee. No subscription, no upsell obligation. If the verdict is "On Track" — your vCISO is doing great work — that's a fully successful audit. You'll know exactly what you're paying for and why it's worth it.
Why independent matters
GRC Migrate does not sell vCISO services. We do not receive commissions from vCISO providers. We have no financial stake in the verdict. The scorecard is built to be shared with your vCISO — good providers welcome an independent standard and use it to strengthen the engagement.
The independence matters most when the verdict is ambiguous. An internal review is limited by the same blind spots that created the gaps. A review from your vCISO's firm has an obvious conflict. An independent review produces findings that can be acted on without those constraints.
