RSI —
vCISO, Compliance Assessments & Penetration Testing

A virtual CISO (vCISO) is a fractional security executive who provides the strategic security leadership, compliance program ownership, and board-level reporting that a full-time Chief Information Security Officer delivers — without the cost of a permanent executive hire. Mid-market companies that lack a dedicated CISO but face compliance requirements, cyber insurance pressures, or board-level security accountability benefit from RSI vCISO services, which provide security strategy, risk management, and compliance oversight on a part-time or fractional engagement model.

RSI performs gap assessments and supports remediation across CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification), PCI DSS, HIPAA, NYCRR 500, and CCPA. They also perform SOC 1 and SOC 2 readiness assessments and support NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-53, and NIST 800-171 framework implementations. RSI delivers both the assessment — identifying gaps against the required framework — and the remediation roadmap for achieving compliance.

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a DoD cybersecurity framework that defense contractors must comply with to bid on and retain federal contracts. RSI performs CMMC gap assessments against Level 1 and Level 2 requirements, identifies remediation gaps, and helps organizations build the security program and documentation required to prepare for a formal CMMC certification assessment.

RSI cyber risk assessments follow NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, and CIS 20 frameworks — providing a structured evaluation of the organization's security posture across the framework control categories. Assessments identify security gaps, assign risk ratings, and deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap. Organizations use RSI risk assessments to establish a security baseline, respond to cyber insurance requirements, or fulfill contractual client security requirements.

RSI performs network penetration testing, application penetration testing, and infrastructure vulnerability assessments. Engagements include both external and internal testing scopes, with deliverables covering discovered vulnerabilities, exploitation evidence, risk ratings, and remediation recommendations. RSI pen testing is used for compliance validation (PCI DSS, HIPAA, CMMC), cyber insurance applications, and general annual security validation.

Yes. RSI provides Managed IT and Security Services covering managed IT support, cloud design and migration, Microsoft Office 365 implementation and SharePoint customization, and ongoing security monitoring. This allows organizations to engage RSI for both the assessment and advisory layer (vCISO, compliance, pen testing) and the managed operations layer — maintaining a single security-focused managed services partner.

Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is the process of assessing and monitoring the security posture of vendors, suppliers, and partners who have access to your systems or data. RSI provides vendor risk assessments, TPRM program development, and ongoing third-party security monitoring — helping organizations satisfy TPRM requirements from regulators, cyber insurers, or client contracts requiring vendor risk oversight.

No. Your service agreement is directly with RSI — Fibi is not a party to the contract. Fibi helps evaluate RSI alongside other cybersecurity, vCISO, and compliance assessment providers based on your specific compliance frameworks, industry vertical, and security program maturity, then steps back. Advisory through Fibi does not affect the fees you pay.
