Your board wants someone accountable for security, and hiring a CISO takes months you don't have.
We plug in a senior security leader and a hands-on squad that runs the stack you already use, watches your cloud and SaaS around the clock, and answers for security when the board asks. Your engineers stay on the product.
Hire us for the vCISO, the 24/7 SOC, or all of it. Every capability below is run by the same squad, and each one links to how it works.
A senior security leader plus an analyst and a PM who know your business. One team to call, not a ticket queue.
A 24/7 SOC watching your cloud and SaaS: AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, Microsoft 365, and Slack. 900+ detection rules, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
Fully managed Sophos across Windows, Mac, and Linux. We configure it, deploy it, and run it, so your team doesn't.
KnowBe4 training and phishing tests, rolled out and managed for you. 150+ courses, real reporting.
A privacy officer on retainer who holds CIPP/C and CIPP/E and is called to the BC bar. GDPR, PIPEDA, and Law 25 covered.
Governing how you use AI, mapped to ISO 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, so you can answer the questions buyers have started asking.
Every engagement is run by a named squad. Pick the entry point that fits where you are: find out where you stand, plug in the full team, or start with a single managed service.
A step-by-step review of your security posture against a recognized control framework. You get the full picture in about three weeks, and it becomes the foundation of your roadmap.
A dedicated squad runs your security program end to end: a vCISO owns the roadmap, an analyst does the work, and a 24/7 SOC watches your environment. This is a security team, not another dashboard.
Not ready for a full program? Take one thing off your plate. We run threat detection, endpoint protection, or user education as a standalone managed service.
Every Kobalt security program follows the same sequence, with milestones you can plan around.
We review your stack, your risks, and what's driving the need: a deal, the board, an incident, or a gap you already know about. No prep required.
We benchmark your current posture against a recognized framework and hand back a prioritized risk log with the engineering effort to close each item.
Your vCISO, analyst, and PM onboard, connect your cloud and SaaS log sources, and roll out endpoint protection and user education.
The SOC starts watching your environment. You get alerts, triage, investigation, and regular analyst reviews, not just pager noise.
Weekly working meetings, monthly executive reporting, and quarterly business reviews. The vCISO owns the roadmap and reports to your board.
When a deal appears or you expand, the program flexes: add a pentest, another cloud source, or a new framework. As fast as you need, never a promised date.
A senior security leader runs you north of $200K a year, before the analysts and tools they'll need to hire next. And one person can't watch your logs at 3am, day after day. A Kobalt squad provides the leadership, the hands-on team, and a 24/7 SOC, for less than that one salary.

Kobalt.io's vCISO provided clear guidance and support, managing our ISO 27001 compliance process with ease. It's so much easier to work with them than if we had to start from scratch.
They keep their managed threat detection service simple, and allow us to stay ahead of the game and focus on what is important for us.
We absolutely love the security training awareness module, especially the real-world scenarios to show applications of key concepts.
