Question 6

How is SIAN different from larger cybersecurity firms?

Accepted Answer

We are practitioner-led, not consultant-led. Our founder built CI/CD pipelines at Binance, led vulnerability remediation at Snyk, and worked on AI governance at the European Parliament. We combine this hands-on expertise with a platform that delivers lasting systems, not just reports.

Question 7

How is pricing structured?

Pricing depends on the scope of services, organization size, and engagement model. We offer both project-based and retainer-based arrangements. Our vCISO service is a premium monthly retainer that covers ongoing strategic security leadership.

What certifications does SIAN hold?

Accepted Answer

We are currently pursuing ISO 27001 certification, which is our near-term priority. Our team members hold individual certifications including CISSP, CEH, and other industry-recognized qualifications.
