Most mid-market organizations operate without a dedicated security executive. The risk is real, the regulatory pressure is increasing, and a full-time CISO is not a justifiable hire at every revenue level. Felaris provides fractional cybersecurity leadership (embedded, operational, accountable) for organizations that need senior security direction at a fraction of the cost.
Our client base spans all industries. We bring additional depth to regulated environments where medical device, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing organizations face cybersecurity obligations under FDA, EU MDR, and ISO 27001 certification, but vCISO and cybersecurity program services are available to any mid-market organization.

Strategic security leadership without a full-time hire. Security strategy and roadmap development, governance framework, security metrics and board reporting, vendor and tool evaluation, budget planning, regulatory compliance governance, and incident response oversight.

To improve security, you first need an honest assessment of current state. Felaris evaluates security posture across people, process, and technology: cybersecurity maturity assessment, security control evaluation (NIST, CIS Controls), incident response capability, third-party risk assessment, and improvement roadmap with priorities and budget requirements.

Felaris develops incident response plans, conducts tabletop exercises, and helps organizations establish or improve Security Operations Center capabilities. SOC strategy and staffing, MSSP evaluation, incident response playbooks, security monitoring and alerting, forensics and root cause analysis, and board-level incident communication.

Vendors and third-party providers create security risk that requires active governance. Felaris establishes vendor risk assessment frameworks, security evaluation questionnaires, risk scoring, ongoing monitoring, incident notification protocols, and contract security requirements.

Cybersecurity regulations evolve continuously. Felaris maintains alignment with HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, PCI DSS, NIST, and industry-specific standards. Cloud security covers architecture, access control, data protection, encryption, posture management, and monitoring across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Data protection covers classification, encryption, access control, breach response, retention policies, and privacy alignment.

Network infrastructure hardening, segmentation, intrusion detection, and monitoring. Application security assessment, secure development practices, code review, and penetration testing. Vulnerability assessment and scanning (external, internal, targeted), social engineering testing, wireless security, remediation guidance, and re-testing validation.
Mid-market organizations ($25M to $500M) across the US, Caribbean, and Europe that need fractional CISO leadership or structured cybersecurity program development. Medical device, pharmaceutical, life sciences, and regulated manufacturing organizations where cybersecurity obligations intersect with FDA, EU MDR, and ISO compliance. Organizations preparing for M&A, IPO, PE investment, or external audit where security posture will be evaluated.
NIST CSF controls, data protection, and access governance intersect with AI model security, training data protection, and adversarial risk. Organizations building AI capabilities need cybersecurity governance that extends to the AI attack surface. See Fractional CAIO Services.
Cybersecurity risk in a regulated environment is a compliance issue as much as a technology issue. If you are preparing for an FDA inspection, EU MDR audit, or a major system implementation, get the security assessment done before the auditors do.
Whether you need a vCISO to run the function, a risk assessment to understand your exposure, or a structured program to address what an audit or incident revealed, the starting point is a direct conversation about where you are and what needs to change.
