Advisory & Managed 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.
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.
With our Remediation Services, we help you implement the necessary changes identified during the readiness assessment. This may include control design, policy and procedure development, documentation, technical remediation planning, and audit preparation. We accelerate your compliance journey through targeted remediation support—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.
Even the most advanced technical defenses can be undone by a single human error. BARR focuses on transforming your workforce from a security risk into a frontline defense. We deliver ongoing, tailored training programs that equip your employees with the knowledge needed to identify and respond to evolving threats such as phishing, social engineering, and insider risks.
Our team works closely with yours to build a culture of security through interactive, scenario-based training, frequent phishing simulations, and awareness campaigns customized to your industry and risk profile. But we don’t stop at one-time courses—our approach is continuous, adaptive, and data-driven, allowing us to track behavioral trends, address emerging threats, and ensure measurable improvements in employee vigilance.
Whether you’re building a security awareness program from scratch or enhancing an existing one, BARR provides the strategy, content, and analytics you need to drive engagement and reduce risk. With BARR as your security awareness partner, you get more than compliance—you foster a security-first mindset that strengthens your entire organization.
Achieving compliance is only the beginning. BARR’s continuous monitoring services help organizations move beyond one-time audits and establish ongoing processes that ensure your controls remain effective, aligned with regulatory requirements, and adaptive to the modern threat landscape.
We partner with you to build and maintain a tailored monitoring strategy that fits your unique goals and industry, integrating automation, real-time alerts, and actionable insights to reduce manual burden and increase visibility. From tracking KPIs and reviewing policies to handling customer questionnaires and internal audits, we help you stay secure and audit-ready year-round.
Whether you’re working toward frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HITRUST, our experts ensure your security compliance strategy scales with your business. With BARR as your continuous monitoring partner, you gain confidence that your security and vendor risk management programs are not only compliant, but consistently resilient.
At BARR, we help organizations from startups to enterprises identify, prioritize, and remediate security weaknesses before they can be exploited. Our approach combines automated scanning with expert-led analysis to deliver accurate, actionable results that go beyond surface-level findings. We tailor our services to your environment and stage of growth, providing clear remediation guidance and continuous improvement strategies that strengthen your long-term security posture.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or scaling your existing security program, BARR acts as an extension of your team, offering fixed, competitive pricing and trusted expertise across the most regulated industries, including healthcare, finance, government, and technology.
