My recommendation is "try it" with a specific project in mind. Pricing is available for a single project. Assess its full capabilities and then decided whether to keep using it or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A vCISO or Fractional CISO business is constrained by resources, meaning if he works one day a week as a vCISO for a client, then that day is "lost" from a revenue generation perspective.

Cynomi is AI-driven. It allows a vCISO to have cover in the form of less-experienced individuals who can work with a client to discover the information required by Cynomi while the vCISO is working on another project or two. This ability to provide a vertically integrated team is more effective for customers, fosters the emergence of new CISOs mentored by experienced mentors, and lowers the costs to clients.

The security maturity assessment, which can be used for various projects is a "living document"being updated with whatever frequency is required by the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
