Fractional security lead · vCISO services

A customer just sent you a security questionnaire.

I'm Rajesh Kumar. I help startups get through the security review that is holding up a deal: answered truthfully, at a fixed price, by the person you talk to on the first call.

How it works

First call to handover,
in writing.

Every stage ends with a document in your hands.

The full process

  1. STEP 01

    A free 30-minute call.

    I find out what triggered this, the deadline, your stack and who decides. If I'm the wrong fit, I say so. You get a written recap the same day, with the package I recommend and its price.

  2. STEP 02

    A fixed scope and fee.

    A short intake, then a statement of work: deliverables, exclusions, milestones, and how your data and any AI tools are handled.

  3. STEP 03

    Delivery, then handover.

    Read-only access, a status note every week, and everything moved into your own storage at the end.

Who you work with

One named person,
start to finish.

I'm a principal cloud security architect with more than 25 years in infrastructure and security. In 2026 I led a startup's SOC 2 preparation through to its Type I report, issued by an independent auditor.

More about me

You work with me.

The person on the first call is the person who does the work. No handoffs.

Fixed and published.

Fixed scope, fixed fee, written exclusions. Retainers run month to month with 30 days' notice.

Yours to keep.

Everything is handed over in your own storage and tools, and my access is removed at the end. No lock-in.
