Before using the platform, our assessments, documentation, and strategic plans were manual, inconsistent, and hard to scale. With Cynomi, we’ve streamlined and standardized our entire vCISO engagement—from automated risk assessments to compliance mapping and executive-ready reports. The platform enables us to onboard clients faster, manage more accounts without expanding our team, and clearly demonstrate value through actionable roadmaps. It’s positioned us as a true strategic partner to our clients, not just another cybersecurity vendor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As the Cybersecurity Practice Manager at a service provider, we've relied on Cynomi for the past year to orchestrate PCI DSS, GDPR, and broader GRC engagements across multiple clients. Beyond audit preparation, we use the platform to conduct full-lifecycle risk assessments, deliver vCISO services, and maintain continuous GRC oversight. Cynomi’s guided workflows, centralized dashboards, and out-of-the-box connectors let my team spin up each engagement quickly, assign tasks to client stakeholders, and automatically gather evidence from cloud environments, endpoints, and ticketing systems—cutting manual effort by nearly 75%.

CMMC compliance is the one area that needs to be revisited as it becomes very expensive for organization that have multiple sites and require multiple licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fortress had previously leveraged a GRC platform tool that was not only expensive but also did not crosswalk easily from Framework to compliance assessment. We have found that Cynomi has assisted us with not only the assessment process for our clients but enables our Fractional CISO to support our clients more efficiently and effectively.

If you're thinking about offering vCISO services, Cynomi is worth looking at. It has saved my team a lot of time on assessments and reporting.

There’s a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you’re up and running, it helps with the amount of Excel documents in the past that were needed to complete these assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cynomi has been a solid partner for us. The platform is easy to use. It’s helped my team to streamline our assessments and to give our clients better support.

What I really appreciate is how responsive and open the Cynomi team is—they actually listen to feedback and are always happy to assist. I am excited to see what new features are coming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My business partner, formerly the company exec in charge of cyber security at one of the largest banks in Africa, said he wished he had access to Cynomi back in 2002. He would have deployed in that bank, which today has 60,000 employees. My recommendation is "try it" with a specific project in mind. Pricing is available for a single project. Assess its full capabilities and then decided whether to keep using it or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A vCISO or Fractional CISO business is constrained by resources, meaning if he works one day a week as a vCISO for a client, then that day is "lost" from a revenue generation perspective. Cynomi is AI-driven. It allows a vCISO to have cover in the form of less-experienced individuals who can work with a client to discover the information required by Cynomi while the vCISO is working on another project or two. This ability to provide a vertically integrated team is more effective for customers, fosters the emergence of new CISOs mentored by experienced mentors, and lowers the costs to clients. The security maturity assessment, which can be used for various projects is a "living document" being updated with whatever frequency is required by the customer.

Talk candidly with the vendor about your needs. I have found everyone to be very helpful and candid with no false promises. I would encourage usage of the solution within your practice to be limited to those with experience in governance and security leadership. Understanding the importance of information security and risk governance in your client environments is step #1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Repeat after me. No More Spreadsheets! Seriously... Before Cynomi, spreadsheets for tracking and aligning with best-practice and compliance frameworks were spreadsheet-heavy. Now, with the ability of the Cynomi platform to allow us to combine and harmonize across multiple frameworks and compliance regulations, things flow much smoother. Coupled with our professional services for advisory and assistance, the Cynomi platform helps immensely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
