Virtual & Fractional CISO
Executive security leadership, without the executive headcount.
Security & Risk
Innovation, Delivered.
Technology and security leadership, when you need it.
Independent advisory for organizations that need senior judgment more than they need another tool. We provide virtual CIO and CISO leadership, AI governance, cyber resilience planning, and more — so innovation ships instead of stalling. And breach response advisory for the day something goes wrong anyway.
Advice only. No products, no resale, no referral fees — so a recommendation is never a sales motion.
How we can help
Two practices: Security & Risk and Technology & AI. Most organizations reach both at once, and few have the scale to hire a senior leader for each. Engagements range from a two-day tabletop to standing as your fractional CIO or CISO.
AI Governance & Assurance
Control over how AI is built, bought, and used — before someone else forces the issue.
Technology & AI
AI Enablement & Adoption
Get past the pilot. Turn AI experiments into work that actually ships.
Technology & AI
Virtual & Fractional CIO
Technology leadership for organizations that have outgrown ad-hoc IT.
Technology & AI
Tabletop Exercises & Crisis Simulation
Find out how your people decide under pressure while it is still a rehearsal.
Security & Risk
Breach Response & Recovery Advisory
Someone has to run the response. That is a role, not a checklist.
Security & Risk
We're here to advise, not sell you a product.
Innovide earns money exactly one way: by giving advice. There is no catalog a finding could conveniently point toward, and no partner tier quietly shaping a recommendation. That is the entire business model, and it is the only reason advice is worth trusting.
In Demand Service Spotlight
AI governance, before it becomes an incident.
AI is arriving in most organizations from three directions at once: vendors switching it on inside products you already pay for, teams building with it, and staff using it whether or not anyone approved it.
Governance built after a customer questionnaire, a regulator, or a bad outcome is governance built under pressure. Innovide establishes the inventory, the decision rights, and the guardrails while there is still room to be deliberate — sized so teams keep shipping.
- Inventory of AI in use, including shadow and vendor-embedded AI
- Risk classification and an intake process teams will follow
- Acceptable-use policy and development standards
- Model and vendor due-diligence criteria
- Human oversight and escalation for AI failures
- Aligned to NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001
How engagements are shaped
Three models, and no surprises in any of them. Retainers and fixed-scope work are priced in writing before anything begins. On-call exists for the times there is no room for that — no retainer, no prior relationship, billed against the hours you actually use.
Monthly or annual
Retainer
A standing commitment of time, contracted on a monthly or an annual term. Best for virtual CISO and CIO work, for incident response retainers, and for anyone who wants continuity rather than a document drop. Annual terms suit organizations that want the planning horizon; monthly suits those testing the fit first.
Priced up front
Fixed scope
A defined piece of work — an assessment, a program build, a tabletop, a governance workshop, an executive briefing — with deliverables, timeline, and price agreed in writing before anything starts. No hourly meter running.
Time and materials
On-call advisory
For organizations that need help now and have no retainer in place. A suspected breach, a customer escalation, a regulator asking questions, a decision that cannot wait for a proposal cycle. No prior relationship required and nothing to sign in advance — billed against the hours you actually use, and we will say early if what you need is a forensics firm rather than an advisor.
When the call usually comes
Almost nobody thinks about engaging experts on a quiet Tuesday. Something forces the issue — a customer demand, a board question, an incident, a decision that can no longer be deferred. These are the moments that tend to bring people here.
If one of them looks familiar, the first conversation costs nothing — and the honest answer is sometimes that you do not need us yet.
- Companies whose first enterprise customer just sent a security questionnaire
- Organizations adopting AI faster than their governance can follow
- Businesses that have outgrown ad-hoc IT but cannot justify a full-time CIO
- Teams with an incident behind them and a mandate to prevent the next one
- Leadership facing a platform or build-versus-buy decision they cannot undo
- Investors and acquirers needing technology and security diligence
