SAFE vs. RealCISO

In today's landscape, a typical Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at a Fortune 2000 firm oversees around 12 disparate cybersecurity solutions, which creates a fragmented perspective characterized by multiple dashboards and a lack of centralized data aggregation. This fragmentation often hinders the ability to showcase a definitive return on investment for various cybersecurity expenditures, leading to significant challenges in measuring the organization's cyber resilience, particularly since there is no systematic way to gauge the changes that occur following the adoption of new products. Compounding this issue is the lack of standardized metrics within the industry for assessing the success of cybersecurity product deployments. SAFE addresses these challenges by enabling organizations to predict potential cyber breaches, seamlessly integrating data from their existing cybersecurity solutions, external threat intelligence, and pertinent business contexts. The platform employs a supervised Machine Learning Bayesian Network to forecast the likelihood of breaches, delivering crucial scores, prioritized actionable insights, and a transparent evaluation of the risks that organizations face, which ultimately strengthens their security framework. By leveraging SAFE, companies can refine their cybersecurity strategies, improve decision-making, and navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape with greater confidence, ensuring a more resilient cyber defense.

RealCISO is a compliance intelligence platform for two audiences: MSPs and MSSPs managing security across multiple clients, and enterprise teams running compliance in-house. It gives MSPs, MSSPs, consultants, and in-house security teams a single place to run compliance assessments, manage risk, track remediation, and demonstrate security posture to boards and auditors — without the spreadsheet chaos. Built on NIST CSF and mapped to 30+ frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and CMMC, RealCISO turns assessment data into action. Over 3,000 security providers use it to deliver vCISO services at scale. Founded by Brian Haugli — former DoD, former VP & CSO at The Hanover Insurance Group, and co-author of the NIST CSF book published by Wiley — RealCISO was built by practitioners who ran these programs manually and knew there had to be a better way.
