The hands that get it done.
Expertise On-Demand is where you bring in people rather than commission a deliverable — a virtual CISO who owns the program, practitioners embedded alongside your team, and the implementation and tooling work that turns a plan into a running control. Advisory produces the direction; this line supplies the people who carry it.
Virtual CISO (vCISO)
Senior security leadership, without the full-time hire.
A seasoned security executive who joins your team part-time and owns the program end-to-end — setting strategy, prioritizing the roadmap, and reporting to your board in language they understand. You get the judgment and accountability of a full-time CISO, sized and priced to where your organization actually is today. And we stay long enough to build lasting maturity, not just hand over a document and leave.

- Fractional senior leadership
- Board & executive engagement

Where a vCISO engagement goes
- Security strategy & multi-year roadmap
- Board & executive risk reporting
- Policy & governance framework development
- Security operating model & responsibilities
- Incident response program & playbooks
- Executive & technical tabletop exercises
- Ransomware readiness assessment
- Zero-trust & architecture strategy
- Cyber insurance coverage review
- Security investment prioritization
How it runs
Engagements are sized as a flexible, consumption-based arrangement — a standing cadence of leadership time plus room for the projects the roadmap surfaces. Strategy work is anchored to recognized frameworks (NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002, CIS Controls) so maturity is measured against something auditors and boards already trust.
How it uses Advisory
A vCISO draws on the Advisory line for the engagements the roadmap calls for — risk and exposure assessments, identity governance design, AI advisory — rather than duplicating them. The vCISO owns the program; Advisory supplies the depth on each piece of it.
Security Staff Augmentation
Senior security hands, embedded in your team.
Sometimes the plan is fine and the problem is simply hands: an analyst seat you can’t fill, an engineer for a nine-month program, coverage through a leave. We place experienced practitioners inside your team — your tools, your tickets, your standups — for as long as the need lasts and not a week longer. They arrive with Forecight’s bench behind them, so one hire brings a firm’s worth of depth.
- Embedded analysts & engineers
- Your tools & processes
- Flexible duration
- Backed by the full bench

Ways to engage
- Project-based placement for a defined initiative
- Reserved capacity under an annual retainer
- Micro-engagements for short, sharp needs
- Coverage for leaves & unfilled seats
- Long-run program support
The bench
The people we place are practising architects, engineers, analysts, and compliance specialists carrying current credentials — OSCP, CISSP, CISA, CRISC, PCI QSA among them — and vendor certifications across the identity, endpoint, and cloud platforms enterprises actually run. When your embedded practitioner hits something unfamiliar, the rest of the firm is one message away.
Deployment & Integration
Security tools deployed the way the datasheet promised.
Most security platforms underdeliver for one reason: they were installed, not implemented. We deploy and integrate the tools you’ve chosen — EDR, SIEM, identity, cloud controls — configured for your environment, wired into your workflows, and tuned until what fires is worth acting on and the coverage is real. Your team is trained on what we built, because a tool only you understand is a liability.
- EDR · SIEM · IAM · cloud
- Environment-specific configuration
- Workflow integration & tuning
- Team handover & training

How deployments run
- Design & architecture
- Installation & configuration
- Implementation & testing
- Knowledge transfer & workshops
Engagement types
- Proof of concept & technology assessment
- Jump-start implementation
- Migration & upgrade
- Technology health check
- Optimization & architecture consolidation
Delivery is by certified, multivendor engineers using proven runbooks — including focused support through production cutover, the point where most deployments quietly fail. Rulesets and policies are modernized as part of the work, not carried over untouched.
Technology Rationalization
Get more from fewer tools.
Security stacks grow by accretion — a tool per problem, a renewal per year, overlap nobody has time to question. We inventory what you own, map real coverage against real need, and recommend what to consolidate, renegotiate, or retire. The usual outcome is a smaller bill and better coverage at the same time, because the money moves from shelfware to the controls doing the work.

What the assessment covers
- Technical & functional deficiencies
- Redundant & overlapping technologies
- Control coverage mapped to real threats
- Licensing & renewal spend analysis
- Consolidation roadmap with impact analysis
- Data-driven investment recommendations
How coverage is judged
Your stack is mapped against NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002, and MITRE ATT&CK — so “covered” means a control demonstrably addresses a technique, not that a product category has a logo in it. The outcome is proof of what your tools actually do, and a defensible case for every renewal you stop paying.
