CISO work — simplified

Run a real security program — without drowning in it.

SimpleCISO turns technical findings and organizational information into a managed security program. AI does the repetitive work — assessments, mapping, drafting, follow-ups — while a qualified human stays accountable for every material decision.

Part of the Summit Cyber stack SimpleSec finds & validates the technical risk → SimpleCISO turns it into a governed program
The gap

Findings are easy. A program is hard.

Scanners and pentests produce findings all day. Turning them into owned risks, prioritized work, documented decisions, and evidence an auditor will accept is the part that eats a CISO's week — and the part most teams never finish.

◇ Scattered inputs

Spreadsheets, Slack threads, vendor portals, and PDF reports that never roll up into one defensible picture of where you stand.

◷ Work that stalls

Gaps get noted but never become owned, dated tasks. Risk acceptance lives in someone's memory instead of a signed record.

◎ Evidence you can't find

When the audit or the board asks, you're reconstructing months of activity from scratch — and hoping nothing expired.

How it works

Assessment to action — one governed lifecycle.

SimpleCISO runs the whole loop, and puts a human gate on every step that carries liability.

01

Assess

Plain-language assessments against a framework produce a deterministic, explainable score — no black-box number.

NIST CSF 2.0CIS
02

Prioritize

Gaps and imported findings become risk candidates. A human accepts, owns, or defers each one — nothing auto-closes.

03

Execute

Owned tasks with due dates, AI-drafted remediation guidance, and follow-ups that don't fall through the cracks.

04

Prove

Evidence vault with adequacy review and point-in-time snapshots — board and audit reports in a click.

The guardrail

AI never silently decides.

Risk acceptance, evidence sufficiency, and anything you publish are human-gated. AI produces drafts behind approval and does the repetitive work — it never closes a control or accepts a risk on its own. Every material action is attributable to a person, with an audit trail.

We report readiness and evidence coverage, never "compliant" or "certified." That discipline is deliberate — it's a liability firewall you can stand behind.

Who it's for

Built for the people who carry the program.

Fractional & virtual CISOs
Run many clients from one portfolio. Each organization is fully isolated — no spreadsheet-per-client, no cross-tenant leakage. See who needs attention first, in one view.
MSSPs & security partners
Deliver governance as a service on top of the testing you already do. SimpleSec findings flow in as risk candidates; SimpleCISO turns them into a managed program per client.
Internal security leaders
One defensible system of record for assessments, risk, evidence, and board reporting — instead of a drawer full of point tools and stale spreadsheets.
Frameworks

Map once. Reuse everywhere.

Assess against a canonical control model and reuse the work across frameworks. NIST CSF 2.0 and CIS are built in; ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and PCI DSS ship as licensed catalogs with full provenance. Evidence collected for one maps to the others.
