PRACTICAL PROTECTION. GUIDED BY YOUR vCISO.

Start with the risks that matter to your organization.

HOZHO combines consolidated protection, hands-on education, and vCISO leadership to help reduce risk across your people, systems, and operations.

We typically start with the CIS Controls: a practical foundation for organizations with limited time and budgets. Then we connect the relevant safeguards to your other framework, contractual, and insurance priorities.

Already invested in security tools? We can work with your existing Microsoft, Google, and other security platforms and help close the gaps.

For eligible state, local, tribal, and territorial organizations, your vCISO can help identify cost-effective CIS and MS-ISAC resources.
