vCISO and Security Compliance Consulting in Maryland and the DC Metro
SecurePath Security gives SaaS companies and SMBs across Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia a CISSP-certified security leader on a flexible retainer. We build the security and compliance programs that close enterprise deals, without the cost of a full-time CISO.
Security Leadership for DMV Companies
If your company is based in the DMV and selling software to enterprise or government-adjacent buyers, you have probably run into security reviews that stall deals. A prospect sends a long security questionnaire, asks for your SOC 2 report, or wants to know who owns security at your company. SecurePath Security answers that question for you. We act as your virtual CISO, build the program behind the answers, and guide you through whatever compliance framework your customers require.
We are based in Maryland and work with companies throughout the region, from Baltimore and Annapolis through the DC suburbs and into Northern Virginia. Most of our work happens remotely, which keeps engagements efficient, and we can meet in person in the DMV when it helps. You get a security partner in your time zone who understands the buyers your business is selling to.

Common Questions
Do you only work with companies in Maryland and DC?
No. We work with SaaS companies and SMBs across the DMV and nationwide. The regional focus means clients in Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia get a security partner in their time zone who can meet in person when it helps.
Are consultations remote or in person?
Most of our work is remote, which keeps engagements efficient and lets us respond quickly. For clients in the DMV, we can meet in person when a working session or a board meeting calls for it.
Do you understand the compliance needs of DC-area companies?
Yes. Many companies in the region sell to enterprise and government-adjacent buyers with strict security requirements. We help you meet the frameworks those buyers ask for, most often SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.
How quickly can we start?
A typical engagement begins within a week or two of our first call. We start with a short scoping conversation, agree on priorities, and move into the work. There is no recruiting delay the way there would be with a full-time hire.
What does a vCISO cost?
Most engagements run between $3,000 and $12,000 per month depending on scope. Our vCISO pricing guide breaks down the models, and our pricing page shows how we structure engagements.
