A level above Express Comply

Managed Comply is a significant level above Express Comply: a full security and compliance operating platform with a virtual CISO, not a single-framework prep program. If you need one framework prepared and maintained at a flat rate, Express Comply is the smaller program; Managed Comply is for companies that want security and compliance operated, led, and reported on continuously.

In plain terms

Managed Comply costs $5,000 per month for companies with 1–100 employees, $12,000 per month for companies with 101–200 employees, and $15,000 per month for companies with 201–350 employees; companies with 351 or more employees receive a custom quote. Every tier includes a full virtual CISO and up to three standard frameworks. Dedicated, exclusively-assigned full-time engineers can be added from $15,000 per month, advanced frameworks like FedRAMP, CMMC, and HITRUST are quoted at scoping, and Agency can manage your existing security and compliance employees under the same program.

Agency is a master reseller of Vanta and Drata, has served 1,000+ companies, is rated 4.9/5 on G2, and operates a U.S.-based team.

The full virtual CISO

Every Managed Comply tier includes a complete virtual CISO — not advisory hours. The vCISO owns security program leadership, framework strategy, audit readiness, vendor and customer security reviews, and board-level reporting. When your customers, auditors, or investors ask who runs security, there is a named answer with an operating program behind it.

Frameworks: three standard, advanced by quote

Up to three standard frameworks are included in every tier — SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and similar — run concurrently under one program, with cross-framework mapping so work done once counts everywhere it can.

Advanced frameworks — FedRAMP, CMMC, HITRUST — are added by scoped quote, because their boundaries, assessors, and timelines vary too much for a flat number to be honest. See FedRAMP with Agency for how those engagements run.

We can run your existing team

Agency can manage your existing security and compliance employees under the Managed Comply vCISO — your people, Agency’s leadership and program structure, included in scoping rather than billed as an add-on. Companies rarely find this capability elsewhere: it means hiring one platform instead of choosing between “outsource everything” and “build a department.”

Dedicated full-time engineers

When the program needs full-time hands — a FedRAMP push, a heavy remediation quarter, an enterprise security review season — dedicated, exclusively-assigned, forward-deployed engineers are added from $15,000 per month per engineer. They work only on your environment for the duration.

What’s included

Scope — the full managed compliance and security platform: program operation, monitoring, evidence, remediation coordination, and audit management, sized to your headcount tier.
Deliverables — a complete virtual CISO, up to three standard frameworks run concurrently, security reviews, and board-level reporting.
Support — a named Agency team operating continuously, plus vCISO availability for customer, vendor, and diligence conversations.
Timeline coverage — continuous monthly operation, through every audit window and observation period while the engagement runs.
Platform compatibility — runs on your GRC platform of choice; Vanta and Drata preferred and available through Agency at published pricing.

What’s priced separately

Dedicated, exclusively-assigned full-time engineers — from $15,000 per month per engineer.
Advanced frameworks (FedRAMP, CMMC, HITRUST) — quoted at scoping.
The GRC platform subscription — see Vanta pricing and Drata pricing through Agency.
Independent audit fees and penetration tests — stated separately in the Order Form so the monthly price never hides them.

Who this is for

1–100 employees

Companies that need real security leadership and multiple frameworks without hiring a security department — $5,000 per month.

101–200 employees

Scaling companies whose customer, vendor, and audit load has outgrown a part-time program — $12,000 per month.

201–350 employees

Established companies consolidating security, compliance, and reporting under one operated platform — $15,000 per month.

351+ employees

Larger organizations with custom scope — quoted to match team structure, framework mix, and reporting needs.

How vCISO pricing usually works — and why this page has numbers

Virtual CISO pricing across the market comes in four shapes: hourly consulting, a monthly retainer, project-based work, and leadership bundled with execution. Scope drives cost far more than the model does, which is why most providers quote instead of publish.

Managed Comply publishes anyway, because the scope is standardized: a full vCISO plus up to three standard frameworks, operated. What moves a quote off the published tiers is what you would expect — headcount above 350, advanced frameworks, dedicated engineers, or absorbing an existing internal team into the program.

Conditions

Published tiers are standard published pricing through Agency for the stated headcount bands and up-to-three standard frameworks; final scope and price are confirmed in your Order Form/SOW, and per the published program terms, a fully executed MSA and Order Form/SOW are required before any benefit under the Program can be claimed. Managing your existing security and compliance employees under the vCISO is included in scoping.

Worked examples

Illustrative example, not a quote

80-person company, SOC 2 + ISO 27001 + GDPR: $5,000 per month — $60,000 per year — for the operated program, full virtual CISO included, all three frameworks inside the tier.

Illustrative example, not a quote

150-person company: $12,000 per month for the 101–200 employee tier — virtual CISO, up to three standard frameworks, and continuous operation.

Illustrative example, not a quote

250-person company adding one dedicated engineer: $15,000 per month for the 201–350 tier + $15,000 per month for the exclusively-assigned engineer = $30,000 per month total.

How this compares

The alternatives are a full-time CISO hire or a fractional CISO stitched to a separate compliance vendor. A full-time CISO costs a senior-executive salary plus benefits and equity — and still needs tooling and a team to operate anything. A fractional CISO plus a separate compliance vendor means two contracts, two roadmaps, and a seam down the middle of your program exactly where auditors look.

Managed Comply is one platform: leadership, operation, and up to three frameworks from $5,000 per month — a fraction of the fully loaded cost of one senior security hire, with the execution layer already attached.

Managed Comply pricing: frequently asked questions

How much does a virtual CISO cost?

Market vCISO pricing runs hourly, retainer, or project-based, and is usually quoted rather than published. Agency publishes it: Managed Comply includes a complete virtual CISO from $5,000 per month for companies with 1–100 employees, $12,000 per month for 101–200, and $15,000 per month for 201–350 — with up to three standard frameworks included rather than billed on top.

How much does managed compliance cost per month?

What does $5,000 per month include?

For companies with 1–100 employees, $5,000 per month includes the complete Managed Comply platform: a full virtual CISO (program leadership, framework strategy, audit readiness, vendor and security reviews, board-level reporting) and up to three standard frameworks — SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and similar — operated continuously.

How many frameworks are included?

Up to three standard frameworks are included in every Managed Comply tier — SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and similar — run concurrently under one program. Advanced frameworks like FedRAMP, CMMC, and HITRUST are added by scoped quote.

Can Agency handle FedRAMP?

Yes. FedRAMP, CMMC, and HITRUST are advanced frameworks added to Managed Comply by scoped quote — their boundaries and assessor timelines vary too much for a flat published number. The program structure (vCISO leadership plus operated execution) is the same; see FedRAMP with Agency.

Can Agency manage our existing security team?

Yes. Agency can manage your existing security and compliance employees under the Managed Comply vCISO — your people, Agency’s leadership and program structure. This is included in scoping rather than billed as a separate line item.

What is the difference between Managed Comply and Express Comply?

Express Comply is a standardized flat-rate program: one framework prepared, maintained, and covered through its observation period for one year, from $5,000 flat for companies with 1–10 employees. Managed Comply is a significant level above it: a full security and compliance operating platform with a complete virtual CISO and up to three standard frameworks, from $5,000 per month. See Express Comply pricing.

Is there an annual contract?

Managed Comply is billed monthly. The engagement term, scope, and any commitments are defined in your Order Form/SOW — a fully executed MSA and Order Form/SOW govern every engagement, so the terms you sign are the terms that apply.
