Our Mission

We help growth-stage companies grow fast and stay secure. Security should enable your business, not slow it down.

Our Story

For founders and engineering leaders at growth-stage companies who need real security leadership before they can justify a full-time CISO, IOmergent is the operating CISO: a CISO who has led security in-house and runs your program, from the processes and tooling to the roadmap, backed by a team that does the hands-on work when you need it. Unlike a checkbox vCISO who writes policies and shows up quarterly, we put the processes and tools in place, drive findings to fixed, and own the program your board and your buyers trust.

We believe that information security should be in the service of what’s possible and optimized to support client business strategy and objectives, because alignment unlocks velocity and supports growth. This belief is fundamental to our offerings and our methodologies.

We’ve been in the trenches of high-growth enterprises and global organizations operating under quarterly objectives. We understand that sometimes things (unwritten policies, broken or non-existent procedures, unintegrated tools) need to be addressed. We believe that with the right mindset and assistance, urgent security actions can contribute to velocity and scale. IOmergent can engage with clients to scope and deliver bespoke information security services whenever action is required.

How we work: from the first conversation to running your security program every week.
