How It Works
1. You Achieve Certification
After Compliance Acceleration, you have your SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 certification.
2. Transition to Retainer
Switch from project mode to retainer mode. Your named CISO remains your ongoing partner.
3. Monthly Office Hours
Recurring meetings on your schedule. Governance, policy updates, incident support.
4. Stay Audit-Ready
Your program stays current. When audit renewal comes, you're already compliant.

| Cost Model | Fixed $8–15k | $5–10k/month (cancel anytime) |
