Security leadership
On retainer, Trellis acts as your Chief Information Security Officer at a fixed monthly price, without the cost of a full-time hire or a six-month search. Each tier matches your funding stage, from a first compliance program through readiness for an initial public offering.
What it includes
- A multi-year security roadmap tied to your funding milestones
- Ownership of the compliance program, from the first audit to a second framework
- Customer security reviews, vendor risk and AI security
- Board and audit committee reporting, with risk stated in dollars
- Security hiring, from role design through onboarding, with interim leadership during the search
- Incident readiness, plus up to 15 hours of incident command at no extra charge
- Board and executive coaching, or a standing seat on your security advisory board
What you get
A named security leader with startup-through-public-company experience, scaled to your stage instead of a full-time salary.
How it runs
Every engagement is scoped to your organization, its size and its risk, with a fixed price or monthly retainer agreed before work starts.
Trellis works inside your environment with read-only access your team can revoke at any time, and delivers every change as a pull request or configuration change your engineers approve. Trellis never holds standing administrator access. Read how Trellis works →
