Most Security Firms Advise. We Run the Program.
Virtual CSO leadership and Enterprise Security Risk Management programs for mid-market organizations. Cybersecurity is one of thirteen domains we cover. Texas DPS-licensed. CPP, CISSP, CISM credentialed. Operating since 2013.
Engagements from $2,500/month
Three Things Most Security Buyers Learn the Hard Way.
Cyber-only firms cover the cyber slice.
They don’t help with workplace violence, fraud, physical security, supply chain, or business continuity. Your risk surface is broader than their playbook.
MSPs react after the breach.
Ticket response is not security. Antivirus is not protection. Monitoring with no containment is not control.
Fractional CISOs disappear after the assessment.
You get a deck. You don’t get a program owner who shows up next quarter when the auditor or insurer calls.
This Isn’t a Service Purchase. It’s an Operating Model.
Tools that aren’t operated are shelfware. Advisors who don’t run the program leave a deck. Compliance that isn’t operationalized is paperwork.
We design the program, run it, and report it to your board. That’s the engagement.
ESRM Is the Product. The vCISO Role Is How It’s Delivered.
Six structural pillars. Enforced — not suggested. This is what an Enterprise Security Risk Management program actually looks like in practice.
Identity Control
Identity Is the Perimeter.
The first thing attackers test, and the last thing most providers actually enforce.
- MFA enforced across all users
- Administrative privilege reduction
- Conditional Access baselines (Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace)
- Credential hygiene monitoring
We treat identity as the primary boundary — because adversaries do.
Email & Endpoint Defense
Email Is the #1 Breach Vector.
Most incidents start with a single inbox. We close that surface first.
- Enterprise email security (managed)
- Impersonation and spoofing protection
- Endpoint hardening and EDR
- Continuous policy tuning
Filters that came with the license aren’t security. They’re defaults.
Detection & Response
Detection Without Action Is Noise.
Monitoring that emails you about an incident at 2 AM hasn’t done anything for you.
- 24×7 Managed Detection and Response
- Continuous endpoint monitoring
- Real containment — not forwarded alerts
- Documented incident workflow
We don’t pass alerts upstream. We act on them.
Patch & Vulnerability Enforcement
Standards Are Enforced — Not Suggested.
The gap between “patched” and “actually patched” is where most breaches live.
- Automated OS and third-party patching
- Compliance baseline tracking
- Vulnerability scanning and remediation prioritization
- Configuration control
Unpatched systems aren’t IT issues. They’re liability exposures.
Data Protection & Continuity
Backups Must Be Proven — Not Assumed.
A backup that’s never been restored is a guess with a budget.
- Backup verification and integrity monitoring
- Periodic recovery testing
- Retention standardization (aligned to your framework)
- Business continuity and disaster recovery planning
If it can’t be restored, it doesn’t exist.
Governance Oversight (Compass)
Control Requires Visibility.
Safeguards you can’t document are safeguards you can’t defend.
- Quarterly safeguards review
- Board and executive risk reporting
- Framework-aligned mapping (NIST CSF, CIS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, Texas SB 2610)
- Annual safeguards summary
What you can’t measure, you can’t control. What you can’t document, you can’t defend.
Three Disciplines. One Operator.
Most providers sell IT, security, or governance. We operate all three as one controlled environment — and route you to the right entity from the start.

- Quarterly executive briefings and annual board-level reporting
What you can’t document, you can’t defend.
total360compass.com →Three disciplines. One vendor relationship. One accountable operator.
Two Products. One Program Owner.
Most mid-market organizations actually need a CSO, not a CISO — they just call it “CISO” because that’s the term they’ve heard. Both engagements are available. The Risk Discussion tells you which fits.
Virtual CSO — the broader engagement.
For organizations whose risk goes beyond cyber — physical security, fraud, workplace violence, supply chain, business continuity, brand. Most mid-market businesses, even if they don’t realize it.
Strategy across all 13 ESRM domains. Quarterly board reporting. Compass-backed evidence trail. Texas DPS-licensed for physical security execution.
From $2,500/month · 8–20 hours/month
Virtual CISO — the cyber specialist.
For organizations whose risk really is cyber-only — usually because they already have a CSO function, or they operate entirely in digital environments.
Cybersecurity strategy, framework selection (NIST CSF / ISO 27001 / SOC 2 / HIPAA / CMMC), incident response plan, board reporting, compliance program ownership.
From $2,500/month · 8–20 hours/month
Other engagement variants — vCIO (when IT governance is the gap) and vCTO (when product or transformation is the gap) — are available when the gap isn’t security at all. Same engagement model, same pricing band.

Why Total 360 Security Exists.
“Most business owners don’t need more security tools. They need someone who’s actually held the title, can translate the threat landscape into board-level decisions, and will still be here next quarter when the auditor calls.”
