Hiring a full-time CISO costs $180,000–$250,000 per year — a budget that simply doesn't exist for most growing businesses. Yet the risks don't care about your headcount.

Cyber incidents, failed audits, and unmet compliance requirements don't just cost money. They cost contracts, customer trust, and in regulated industries, your ability to operate.

Built different.
On purpose.

AI-Powered Efficiency

We leverage AI to automate policy drafting, evidence collection, and gap analysis — the work that bogs down traditional consultants for weeks. You get better output, faster, at a lower price point. Think of it as the difference between a hand-drafted blueprint and one drawn with precision tools: the result is more accurate, and it arrives on Monday instead of next month.

Local Presence, National Standards

We're Birmingham-based and available for on-site engagements across the metro and surrounding business areas. We understand the regional business environment, the industries that power it, and the compliance pressures specific to Alabama's healthcare, manufacturing, legal, and SaaS sectors.

Your Virtual CISO

We don't hand you a report and disappear. We embed into your organization as a true security leadership partner — attending your stakeholder meetings, briefing your leadership team, and standing beside you in front of auditors, insurers, and enterprise clients who require proof of your security posture.

Multi-Framework Architecture

The Daxis Control Matrix maps 120 priority controls across NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HIPAA simultaneously. One engagement can satisfy multiple regulatory and contractual requirements — not because we cut corners, but because we architect compliance intelligently.

Years of practice.
One focused
firm.

Before founding Daxis Consulting, our principals built and managed security programs across multiple industries — directly in the environments that compliance frameworks are designed to protect.

That practitioner experience is the foundation of everything we deliver. We don't just know what frameworks require — we know what it actually takes to implement them inside real organizations.

Common questions,
direct answers.

What exactly is a Virtual CISO and why do I need one?
A Virtual CISO (vCISO) provides the strategic security leadership of a Chief Information Security Officer without the full-time executive salary — typically $180,000–$250,000 per year. We serve as your embedded security partner: assessing your risks, building your compliance program, briefing your board, and standing beside you in front of auditors, insurers, and enterprise clients. For most SMBs, a vCISO is the only economically viable path to genuine security leadership.
How does AI actually help with compliance, and does it compromise quality?
Think of AI as the precision instrument, not the architect. AI accelerates the structured, repeatable work — policy drafting, evidence organization, gap analysis, framework mapping — while our consultants handle the judgment: interpreting findings, advising leadership, and ensuring every output is accurate and tailored to your specific environment. The result is faster delivery at lower cost, with no reduction in rigor. Traditional consultants do the same work manually. We do it smarter.
How is your pricing determined?
We use scope-based pricing determined after a complimentary 30-minute assessment call. Investment depends on your organization's size, risk profile, target frameworks, and current compliance maturity. This means you never pay for scope you don't need — and every engagement is right-sized. What we can tell you: our engagements are consistently 30–40% below what traditional consulting firms charge for equivalent work.
Which compliance frameworks do you support?
Our core expertise spans NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA Security Rule, and CMMC 2.0. Our control matrix is architectured to satisfy multiple frameworks simultaneously — so if you need ISO 27001 for international contracts and SOC 2 for domestic enterprise clients, we address both in a single integrated engagement, not two separate projects.
How long does it take to go from first call to audit-ready?
Quick Start engagements deliver an audit-ready evidence package and remediation roadmap in 4–6 weeks. Full Implementation programs — covering technical controls, policy suite, training, and comprehensive documentation — complete in 90 days. Traditional consulting firms routinely quote 6–8 months for equivalent scope. Our AI-accelerated delivery model is the difference.
Do you offer on-site services in Birmingham and surrounding areas?
Yes. We're Birmingham-based and conduct on-site assessments, site visits, training sessions, and executive briefings across the metro and surrounding business areas. Clients who prefer fully remote delivery also have that option — our process is designed to work either way without compromising thoroughness.
