Frequently Asked Questions
How does a vCISO engagement work for a Rocky Mount business?
We start with a scoping session to understand your environment, regulatory drivers, and goals. From there we propose a monthly retainer (typically 8 to 40 hours per month) that includes strategy sessions, board reporting, and program oversight.
Can the vCISO sit on our executive team?
Yes. Our vCISOs attend executive and board meetings, present security updates, and represent your Rocky Mount organization in customer security reviews and audits.
Do you support specific frameworks like CMMC or HIPAA?
Yes. The entire Petronella team is CMMC Registered Practitioner (CMMC-RP) certified, and we have decades of HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-171, and ISO 27001 program experience.
What is the difference between a vCISO and an MSSP?
An MSSP runs day-to-day security operations (monitoring, alerting, response). A vCISO provides executive strategy and oversight. Most Rocky Mount clients use both, often with Petronella delivering both layers for a single integrated relationship.
