Cybersecurity strategy coaching pricing options
Flexible annual retainers fit every university's budget and needs
Pick from multiple annual retainer pricing options
Having worked in higher education for over two decades, Chris Schreiber understands how CIOs and CISOs need effective solutions that fit within tight budgets. That’s why our CISO coaching services are available with flexible pricing options to fit your budget constraints and cybersecurity program goals.
We built all of our coaching retainer levels around the CYBER HEAT MAP cybersecurity assessment method. This tool helps simplify how universities assess and plan for their future cybersecurity technology needs.
- An ESSENTIAL coaching retainer provides expert guidance with semiannual workshops to review and help prioritize your university cybersecurity program goals based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF).
- For research universities and schools who want more comprehensive reviews, the ADVANCED retainer offers quarterly coaching sessions. Besides incorporating the NIST CSF, this option reviews your research compliance needs for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and your readiness for the NIST 800-171 requirements being championed by the U.S. Department of Education.
- We also offer custom consulting for institutions that need short-term cybersecurity expertise. If you want to complete an assessment of your information security program or need help from a fractional CISO, we offer competitive rates and have over 20 years of experience in higher education. Request a free initial consultation to learn how we can assist with your information security program!
