Description

RealCISO is a compliance intelligence platform for two audiences: MSPs and MSSPs managing security across multiple clients, and enterprise teams running compliance in-house. MSPs, MSSPs, and security consultants use it to run compliance assessments, manage cyber risk, track remediation, and report to boards — all in one place. Assessments map directly to NIST CSF, SOC 2, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, CIS Controls, CMMC, and 30+ other frameworks. Instead of months of spreadsheet work, clients get a clear picture of where they stand and what to fix — in days. Over 3,000 security providers rely on RealCISO to deliver vCISO services at scale. Built by practitioners. Founded by Brian Haugli — former DoD, former VP & CSO at The Hanover Insurance Group, CISSP, and co-author of the NIST CSF book published by Wiley.
