DPDP Rules: soft enforcement ends in 154 days on November 13, 2026. Start by August →
Most compliance consultants and fractional CISOs hide pricing behind a sales call. I publish mine. Every retainer is month to month, cancel by the 28th of any month with no penalty and zero termination fees. Annual prepay is available at a discount.
A 90-minute diagnostic call plus a 48-hour Evidence Index Blueprint: your top 10 gaps with severity and time-to-close, and a 30/60/90 day priority roadmap.
If you continue to a retainer within 14 days, the $999 counts toward your first retainer month.
If the blueprint doesn't surface at least three gaps worth fixing, the diagnostic is free.

For companies starting their compliance journey and getting the operating layer running.
For companies with an active enterprise pipeline, multi-framework needs or India operations. Typically $7,500 to $9,000 a month.
The honest comparison most pricing pages avoid. Annual fully-loaded cost of the usual ways a US SaaS covers this work, against the Active retainer.
One accountable operator running the layer, for less than a single loaded hire you would still have to manage. And you can cancel any month.

48 hours after the callWhy one operator, not a firm
At a firm, your account is a rotating cast: a partner sells it, a manager scopes it, and a junior consultant you have never met does the actual work. When a buyer's security team pushes back, nobody owns the answer.
I run this as a single accountable operator. The person who scopes your compliance is the person who does it and the person who answers for it when an auditor or a buyer asks. That is the whole point of the model, and it is why the work holds up under review.
one name on the work. mine.I am taking a small founding cohort of clients right now. It is the most hands-on this engagement will ever be.
Every engagement starts with the $999 diagnostic. The table compares the two ongoing retainers it can lead into.

The starting prices are published, which is more than most will do. The exact figure depends on scope: which frameworks are in play, how many entities and your questionnaire volume. The diagnostic produces the precise number, with the rationale.
Annual prepay is available at a discount. Otherwise the published rates are the rates. I would rather hold an honest price than inflate it to discount it back.
The $999 diagnostic is the consultation, and it produces a real deliverable rather than a sales pitch. If you continue within 14 days it counts toward your first retainer month, so the assessment effectively costs nothing if we work together.
No. Compliance operations is continuous work, and hourly billing punishes the efficiency you are paying for. The retainers are scoped so you know the monthly number in advance.
Monthly, in advance. Cancel by the 28th of any month with no penalty and zero termination fees. US clients are billed in USD.
Yes. Where it simplifies your accounting, an India entity can be billed in INR while the US parent is billed in USD.
Start with the $999 diagnostic. It tells you honestly which tier fits, and whether you need one at all.
