What audit-ready looks like for an agency
The security posture your enterprise brand’s procurement team is actually asking about.
Not a Google Doc with your MSAs. Not the “we take security seriously” slide from your capabilities deck. A living readiness view that lines up cleanly with the brand’s vendor assessment — per client, per campaign, per platform.
Figma libraries, campaign folders, master creative — scoped per brand so a designer offboarded from Client A can’t open Client B’s unreleased spot.
Pixels, GA4 properties, CAPI feeds, first-party audience uploads — access logs and retention rules tied to the campaign, not one giant shared login.
Google Ads, Meta Business, TikTok Business, LinkedIn Campaign Manager — SSO enforced, standing admin roles removed, ex-employees deprovisioned the same day.
Every talent agency, UGC platform, media buyer, and freelance editor named — so the brand’s procurement team gets a real subprocessor register, not “we’ll get back to you.”
Getting here in an afternoon — not a quarter — starts with unblocking the three things every agency ops director hits first.
The problem
Enterprise clients want security proof. Most agencies can't deliver.
You've got the creative talent, but procurement is asking questions you can't answer.
Questionnaires kill momentum
Enterprise clients send 200-question security assessments. Your team scrambles for days, delaying the actual work.
No security documentation
When asked for policies, you have nothing. No access control policy, no incident response plan, no data handling procedures.
Losing deals to 'security concerns'
You've lost contracts because you couldn't demonstrate security posture. The big accounts go to agencies with compliance certs.

vCISO Lite vs. the alternatives
See why agency ops directors choose us over a boutique cyber consultant retainer or handing it to whoever’s on IT this quarter.
We're a 12-person PR agency. When a major client's procurement team sent us a security questionnaire, I panicked. vCISO Lite helped us respond in an afternoon. We got the contract.
When the retainer client’s procurement lawyer is on the phone.
For the strategic work — negotiating cyber addenda into a retainer-client MSA, running incident response when a brand-safety eventhits mid-campaign, recovering a compromised Meta Business Manager or Google Ads MCC before the brand notices, or standing up per-brand DLP for a Fortune 500 onboarding — vCISO Lite pairs with the Other20 advisory team. Fifteen years of agency + Fortune 500 security leadership, priced by engagement, no full-time hire.

Common questions
What agencies ask us
Do we really need SOC 2 as a marketing agency?
It depends on your clients. Many Fortune 500 companies now require SOC 2 or equivalent documentation from all vendors handling their data—including marketing agencies. If you're losing deals to 'security concerns,' a formal compliance program can open doors.
How does automated evidence gathering help us?
vCISO Lite connects to your cloud providers, project management tools, and collaboration platforms. We continuously gather evidence like access logs and security settings. When enterprise clients request documentation, it's already organized and ready.
What if a client's security review identifies gaps?
Gaps are observations that need attention—they're addressable. vCISO Lite helps you track gaps, prioritize fixes, and document remediation. Our gap analysis typically identifies issues before client reviews do, so you're prepared.
How quickly can we respond to security questionnaires?
Most agencies using vCISO Lite complete questionnaires in 2-4 hours instead of days. Our AI suggests answers based on your documented security posture and automatically attaches relevant evidence.
