Pricing · Every tier maps to whichever framework your auditor reads

One Snapshot to know where you stand. Five subscription tiers to keep you there.

Every tier maps your controls to whichever framework your auditor reads: SOC 2, PCI DSS v4.0, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and HIPAA; GDPR and US state privacy by request. What changes across tiers is framework count (Cornerstone carries one of your choosing; Sentinel and above carry all five), cadence (monthly to weekly), entity count (one to unlimited), and concierge level (email-only to two named contacts with a dedicated incident-response runbook). Pick the row that fits your scope and pace. Monthly or annual prepay, with two months free on annual.

Aegis AI™ vCISO subscription tiers

Six tiers. Cornerstone carries one framework of your choosing. Sentinel and above carry all five: SOC 2, PCI DSS v4.0, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and HIPAA; GDPR and US state privacy by request. Cadence, entity coverage, and concierge level rise from there. The $1,995 Snapshot credits to month 1 of any tier within 30 days. Annual prepay is 10× monthly, two months free.

How to size the ladder: Cornerstone is for one entity carrying one framework. It costs about what a compliance platform costs, and instead of handing you a dashboard and an empty evidence list, the work arrives done for your approval. Move up to Sentinel when a second framework enters scope. Sentinel and Guardian deliver what most teams assemble from compliance software plus outside consulting hours, done for you, continuously. Vanguard replaces standing up an internal compliance function. Fortress and Sovereign price against headcount, not software: security-office coverage, with your executives making every call.

Below the ladder sits one single-framework tier for nonbank financial institutions under the FTC Safeguards Rule: auto dealers that finance, mortgage and installment lenders, money services businesses, collection agencies, tax preparation firms, and advisers outside SEC registration. 16 CFR §314.4 names the artifacts your program must contain; this tier keeps them current. Start with the $1,495 Safeguards Readiness Assessment and it credits in full to month 1 within 30 days.
