   • Value-based pricing, where fees align with risk reduction and business impact.
4. Sales and Go-to-Market Strategy
   • Position vCISO services as a proactive solution rather than a cost burden.
   • Leverage case studies and cybersecurity statistics to demonstrate value.
   • Partner with MSPs/MSSPs to expand reach and integrate services.

   • Utilize cybersecurity frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001) to streamline service offerings.
   • Automate risk assessments, policy generation, and compliance tracking to reduce workload.
   • Maintain ongoing client engagement through regular reporting and strategy updates.
6. Scaling and Differentiation
   • Specialize in industries with high compliance needs (e.g., healthcare, finance).
