Multi-Framework vCISO Assessments Without Framework Expertise

‍

Customer Type: MSSP Offering vCISO Services

Primary Framework(s): SOC 2 / ISO / NIST / CMMC

Workflow Type: Posture Mapping + Heat-maps + Roadmaps

‍

Customer Profile

• MSSP delivering strategic advisory + security operations
• Clients span industries with different compliance requirements
• vCISO engagements require roadmap planning and maturity scoring

‍

The Challenge

• Clients asked “what frameworks apply to us?”
• Manual maturity scoring required deep framework expertise
• Hard to identify multi-framework overlaps (“quick wins”)
• Roadmaps were time-consuming to build per client

‍

How They Used CMAI

• Uploaded existing controls, tool descriptions, and policy summaries
• Mapped current posture to multiple frameworks simultaneously
• Generated heat maps showing coverage across standards
• Identified overlapping controls that satisfy multiple frameworks
• Built prioritized compliance roadmaps tied to business objectives

‍

Implementation Pattern

Policies + Control Descriptions → CMAI API → Framework Coverage Heatmap → Roadmap + vCISO Report

‍

Results Delivered

• ‍Faster vCISO Assessments with repeatable outputs‍
• Higher Client Trust through objective mapping artifacts
• ‍Recurring Monitoring Revenue through ongoing compliance tracking

‍

Why This Was a Fit

They needed deterministic mapping and repeatable outputs to scale vCISO delivery across frameworks without expanding expertise.
