Discuss your situationCommon questions
These answers cover how Moat works with your team and what the first conversation is designed to establish.
No. Moat works alongside your existing IT provider. Your provider continues the technical work in its scope while Moat helps leadership set priorities, assign responsibilities, coordinate the parties involved, and track progress.
A fractional CISO provides part-time cybersecurity leadership. For Moat clients, that means turning business concerns into a prioritized plan, clarifying who owns each action, coordinating providers and specialists, and giving leadership useful reporting for decisions.
The exact scope is agreed before work begins. A typical engagement can include a prioritized action plan, a risk and action register, provider coordination, organization of agreed evidence, and recurring leadership reporting. Technical implementation and specialist services require a separate scope.
Pricing follows the agreed scope, the organization’s size and complexity, and the amount of coordination required. The discovery call is used to understand the situation before Moat recommends an engagement.
In 20 minutes, Lester will learn what prompted the conversation, how cybersecurity responsibilities are handled today, and what decision or deadline is in front of leadership. If Moat appears useful, the next step is a clearly defined scope.
No. Moat helps organize priorities, responsibilities, evidence, and decision-making. Regulators, clients, auditors, and insurers make their own determinations, and no responsible advisor can guarantee their approval.
