How Companies Transformed Their Security with vCISO
Real results from companies that partnered with Workstreet for virtual CISO services

Clay needed to scale security and compliance without slowing down their explosive growth trajectory—moving from $500M to $3.1B valuation in just over a year. Workstreet's expert-led security services on the Vanta platform enabled Clay to achieve SOC 2 readiness in record time while keeping their product and sales teams focused on growth.

Stride Health, a leading cloud-based healthcare software company, partnered with Workstreet to transform their security and compliance program from a resource-intensive burden into a strategic business advantage. Over two years, Workstreet delivered exceptional results: 90% reduction in audit findings, 95% reduction in internal team time commitment, and zero findings in the latest penetration test—all while maintaining full HIPAA and NIST 800-53 compliance.
vCISO FAQs
Common questions about vCISO programs.
Unlike traditional consultants who provide point-in-time advice, Workstreet's vCISO operates as an integrated part of your team. Our team-based approach combines the strategic expertise of former Big 4 and SaaS cyber professionals with hands-on operators who understand how to right-size compliance for growing SaaS companies. Instead of over-committing resources or slowing you down, we focus on action-oriented solutions that help you pass audits and security reviews while conserving internal resources for product development and growth. You get executive-level security leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, with the added benefit of a complete GRC team backing your vCISO.
Our vCISO service supports any establshed framework plus custom frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, NIST, HITRUST, and emerging standards like ISO 42001 for AI governance. We can get companies audit-ready in as little as 30-60 days for SOC 2 Type I, with Type II observation windows starting immediately after. Our team has successfully supported hundreds of companies through their compliance journey, with a track record of faster audits and fewer findings compared to previous years.
You get an entire security organization, not just one person. Your engagement includes a dedicated vCISO, GRC Director, Security Analyst, and Compliance Analyst - essentially a complete security department. We also have security engieers for optional services. Services are fully customizable but typically include custom policy creation, tabletop exercises, internal audits, quarterly compliance reporting, risk management, vendor risk assessments, full audit management and defense, and ongoing support via Slack/Teams during business hours. We act as an extension of your team, answering questions, managing your security roadmap, and ensuring you stay compliant as you scale.
We work seamlessly with your existing technology stack, particularly Vanta. Our team manages all aspects of your GRC platform, from initial setup and integration management to ongoing compliance monitoring and evidence collection. We can connect your in-scope tools using Vanta's pre-built integrations, create custom policy mappings, manage your trust center, and ensure proper documentation flows. For companies not using Vanta, we can help with platform selection and migration. The goal is to enhance, not disrupt, your current workflows while building a scalable compliance foundation.
We're operators, not former auditors or consultants - we lean toward action and understand how to build security programs that enable growth, not slow it down. Our team has hands-on experience scaling security for over 1,500 SaaS companies, and we've built the #1 compliance policy framework on GitHub. We focus on business outcomes, not just checkbox compliance. With our proprietary GUARD framework, we help you evolve from basic compliance to security as a competitive advantage. Plus, our integration with Vanta and AI-powered approach means faster implementation, continuous monitoring, and better outcomes than traditional consulting models.
