Virtual CISO

A CISO’s answer to any regulatory question, on your data, 24/7.

Not a chatbot bolted onto a help page. The Virtual CISO knows your live compliance posture, your open gaps and every framework you are managing, and answers with article-level precision - drafting policies tailored to you and reviewing existing ones for coverage. It runs on your own API key, so your data stays in your control, and it costs nothing per question.

Most teams cannot afford a full-time CISO. The questions do not wait.

A regulatory question does not care that you have not hired a compliance expert yet. Which article applies, whether this policy covers the requirement, what good evidence looks like - these come up daily, and consultants bill by the hour to answer them. The Virtual CISO gives a small team the answer a seasoned CISO would give, grounded in your actual posture and gaps, any time, without the billable hours or the wait.

Grounded in your data

Every answer grounded in your live compliance posture.

Not a generic chatbot. The Virtual CISO knows your organisation, jurisdiction, active frameworks, current gap scores, open incidents and approved policies. Ask about your ISO 27001 obligations and the answer references your specific policies, gaps and risk posture - not hypothetical advice.

  • Organisational context injected into every prompt automatically
  • References your active frameworks, scores and compliance status
  • Knows your policies by name, approval status and coverage
  • Conversational memory within each session for follow-up questions
  • Multi-framework awareness for overlapping requirements

Regulatory knowledge

Article-level answers, with the citation to check them.

The Virtual CISO answers with exact article and paragraph references across GDPR Art. 33, NIS2 Art. 20, DORA Art. 5, ISO 27001 controls and hundreds more, with reporting timelines and materiality thresholds built in. Every response carries the citation, so you can verify it against the source regulation instead of taking it on trust.

  • Exact article and paragraph references in every response
  • Reporting timelines: 4h, 24h, 72h and one-month breakdowns by framework
  • Materiality thresholds and classification criteria built in
  • Penalty ranges with aggravating and mitigating factors
  • Cross-framework mapping between equivalent requirements

Drafting and review

Draft a policy from a prompt, then check it for gaps.

Generate a complete, structured policy for any supported framework, with inline regulatory citations and a coverage score. Or upload an existing policy and the Virtual CISO analyses it against the relevant controls, returning a coverage percentage, the controls covered and the specific gaps - each with suggested text you can insert directly.

  • Full policy generation with section structure and numbering
  • Regulatory article references auto-inserted as inline citations
  • Coverage score calculated immediately against framework controls
  • Upload any existing policy for a gap analysis against the framework
  • Suggested text for each gap, ready to apply into the document

Gap analysis

Turn a gap score into a plan you can act on.

Your gap assessment produced a score - but what does it actually mean? The Virtual CISO interprets your results in plain language, prioritises remediation by effort and impact, estimates timelines, and flags which gaps carry the highest regulatory risk. Stop staring at numbers and start closing them.

  • Plain-language interpretation of your gap assessment scores
  • Prioritised remediation roadmap ranked by risk and effort
  • Effort estimate for each remediation action
  • Identifies the gaps that carry the highest penalty risk
  • Updates its recommendations as you close gaps
