SECURITY ADVISORY RETAINER
A cybersecurity expert on call.
For less than you think.
You don’t need a six figure CISO. You need someone to call when a suspicious email arrives, when your cyber insurance renews, or when something just feels off.

THE MATH
Consultants bill by the hour. We don’t.
The average cybersecurity consultant charges $100 to $150 per hour. A single phishing review costs more than a cup of coffee. A 30 minute call burns through half your budget before you finish asking questions. The Security Advisory Retainer flips that model. One flat fee. Unlimited quick questions. No meter running.
| HOURLY | RETAINER | |
|---|---|---|
| Quick question | $100+ | Included |
| Phishing review | $150+ | Included |
| Monthly call | $200+ | Included |
| Named advisor | N/A | Included |
FULL TRANSPARENCY
This is advisory support, not a full CISO engagement.
The retainer does not include incident response, compliance assessments, regulatory representation, on site services, policy development, or risk assessments. Those are scoped and priced separately when you need them.
