Get audit-ready. Keep a security leader in your corner.
Xorabyte is a fractional CISO for startups facing SOC 2, security questionnaires, and enterprise security reviews. One senior practitioner who has run the whole cycle, on a retainer you can afford.
Founder-led by a practitioner who has taken a company through SOC 2 end to end: scoping, controls, evidence, and auditor sign-off.
Deal stalled on a security questionnaire? We answer it and unblock the deal. $1,500, fast turnaround.
A security leader who runs it, backed by continuous monitoring
A security leader runs it for you
One senior practitioner owns your SOC 2, your questionnaires, and your cloud review. Fixed-scope sprints and monthly retainers, priced for a startup.
Your compliance stays current
Your controls, evidence, and deadlines stay in one place and current between audits, monitored for you as part of the retainer.
Founding client rate: our first three retainer clients get $3,000/mo, locked for 12 months, then it converts to the standing Essentials rate. Three spots.
Why founders call a fractional CISO
Security stops being optional the moment it blocks a deal, a raise, or a renewal. Here is where it usually starts.
A deal is blocked
An enterprise buyer will not sign until you have SOC 2 or pass their security review. Revenue is waiting on a control set you do not have yet.
A questionnaire landed
A 200-line security questionnaire showed up and nobody on the team can answer it fast enough to keep the deal moving.
You are the de facto CISO
Security keeps landing on the founder or a lead engineer, and it is pulling the best people off the product.
Diligence or insurance
A fundraise, an acquisition, or a cyber-insurance renewal just put your security posture under a microscope.
One accountable owner for your security outcome
Not a report and a handshake. A senior practitioner who runs the program and stays on the hook for the result.
SOC 2 and ISO 27001, owned end to end
Scoping, controls, evidence, and auditor management, run by someone who has done it before, not delegated to your team.
Questionnaires answered
Security questionnaires and vendor reviews handled fast, so a stalled deal starts moving again.
Cloud reviewed for real gaps
A hands-on review of access, networking, logging, and exposure: the misconfigurations an auditor or attacker finds first.
A straight answer for the board
Where security actually stands, in language your board and your investors can act on.
Automation where it helps
Continuous evidence collection runs in the background, so the program does not eat your engineers alive.
Founder-led, no bench handoff
The practitioner who scopes your engagement is the one who runs it. You are not passed to a junior after signing.
Pick the engagement that fits the trigger
Compliance, continuously collected
Every retainer includes continuous monitoring, so evidence stays current between audits instead of piling up before one.
