Centric Consulting offers virtual CISO services with fractional, interim, and project-based support models. Define the role, named staffing, authority, and deliverables before comparing a proposed engagement.
Documented services
Centric Consulting's virtual CISO page describes flexible leadership and project support, including executive cybersecurity advisory, identity and access support, internal audit support, and cybersecurity project management. These service areas should be scoped individually in a proposal.
Engagement considerations
Explain whether you need a continuing fractional leader, temporary vacancy coverage, or leadership for a particular project. Name the business sponsor and internal team that will perform follow-up work. Ask the proposed consultant to walk through a blocked security decision and show how it reaches the appropriate approver.
Inspect a sanitized roadmap or management report. Confirm how its priorities relate to your service boundary, available resources, and open risks. Discuss the people assigned to the work rather than relying on the full firm's service catalog.
Questions to verify in a consultation
- Who leads the engagement and who provides specialist support?
- Which decisions can the consultant make, and which require internal approval?
- What scheduled availability and escalation route are included?
- How are project execution and advisory responsibilities separated?
- What records, open actions, and access are transferred at the end?
Scope to confirm
Compare proposals with the same staffing model, capacity, milestones, reporting cadence, and expected outputs. Itemize any testing, implementation, software, travel, or incident response services. Confirm how work outside the agreed scope is requested and priced.
