Compliance & Advisory Services
For organizations that need high-level security expertise but lack the resources for a full-time executive, BARR’s virtual CISO services offer the perfect solution. Our virtual Chief Information Security Officers (vCISOs) provide strategic security leadership on a flexible, fixed-price basis, guiding your organization through risk management, compliance, and long-term security planning. Whether you’re a fast-growing startup or an established company looking to mature your security program, our vCISO services are tailored to your unique needs and goals—from gap assessments and audit prep to hands-on remediation and continuous program management. We align your security strategy with industry frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 to ensure you stay ahead of threats and compliance obligations, all while keeping your business objectives front and center.
For organizations navigating complex compliance frameworks—especially in the public sector—BARR also offers experienced compliance officer support to help bridge the gap between technical execution and regulatory expectations. Acting as an extension of your team, our seasoned consultants represent your organization in front of key stakeholders, including federal agencies and enterprise customers, to ensure confidence and clarity throughout the compliance process.
With BARR’s vCISOs, you gain more than just consultants—you gain trusted advisors who speak the language of compliance and empower your team to take ownership of security. Let us help you build a security program that scales with your business.
Successfully entering new markets—especially highly regulated ones—requires more than just a great product.

Our experts deliver hands-on support from early-stage readiness to continuous monitoring, combining cybersecurity strategy with go-to-market execution to ensure long-term success.
Backed by trusted partnerships, we go beyond compliance to help you break into new markets, including the public sector, so you can scale with confidence. With BARR, you gain more than a checklist—you gain a competitive edge.
Achieving compliance with frameworks like SOC 2, HITRUST, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP can be complex and resource-intensive. At BARR, we turn that challenge into a streamlined, achievable process. We leverage our proven expertise and years of experience to help your organization prepare for upcoming audits confidently and efficiently.
Our comprehensive readiness assessments help you identify control gaps, reduce audit risk, and set a clear roadmap to compliance. Then, we accelerate your compliance journey through targeted support in areas like policy development, technical remediation, and control implementation—equipping you with everything needed to meet industry and government requirements while building trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
Whether you’re preparing for your first audit or scaling compliance across multiple frameworks, we work hand-in-hand with your team to build a secure, audit-ready governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) program tailored to your organization’s size, industry, and timeline. With BARR, you gain more than advice—you gain a trusted partner committed to turning compliance into a strategic advantage.
Our experienced consultants work with your unique business needs to develop or enhance your internal audit function by testing internal controls, identifying shortcomings in those controls, and providing actionable next steps.
