Illustrate cyber posturing, compare to industry compliance targets, and identify residual risk.
Translate moments of security urgency into strategic investments with a clear call-to-action.
Deliver the right issue to the right engineer at the right time to meet overall security goals.
Generate audit prep, compliance posturing, and security certificates for your customer.
Earning customer trust in security means both illustrating why and how they can trust your basic offering, and what protection it lacks.
Critical customer security questions you must be able to answer:
What do I need to protect my business?
How much do I need to spend?
Security buyers will seek out advisors that can deliver credible right-sized security solutions that answer their questions.
Put your brand front-and center by delivering your customer a security dashboard that shows them what security they have now, and how they compare to reasonable security targets.
We maximize your security credibility by branding this shareable compliance dashboard with your logo, and available on a "vCISO" vanity hosting domain.
This helps the customer understand exactly how your essential or advanced security tiers are delivering value to them.
An informed customer will translate a moment of urgency into readiness to invest in cybersecurity. Be prepared to recognize and capture the moment:
Momentary Loss
- Security incidents
- A major breach
External Pressures
- Customer sales resistance
- Insurer or regulatory requirement
- Due diligence from other outside parties
Review the customer's current security posturing and remind them of how this relates to reasonable security targets.
Illustrate residual risks previously identified and how they may be related to their moment of urgency.
FortMesa supports both instant compliance reviews as well as workflows to enable more comprehensive paid or loss-leader risk assessments.
Consult with the customer about their cyber posturing and compliance gaps, but also present a clear plan of exactly what you will provide over the course of their contract.
