How Cynomi Helps vCISOs Keep Organizations Compliant, Faster, and Smarter

Ever thought of how easy it is to stay compliant? Try Cynomi!
Staying on top of global cybersecurity rules like ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, HIPAA, and others isn’t just about passing audits. It’s about building stronger, more secure organizations. For virtual CISOs (vCISOs) and cybersecurity service providers managing multiple clients, the real challenge is doing this efficiently without getting overwhelmed.

That’s where Cynomi comes in.
Cynomi is a powerful yet easy-to-use cybersecurity platform designed to help vCISOs streamline security and compliance across all their clients. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, policies, and scan reports, Cynomi brings everything together in one place automating the hard parts and making compliance manageable.

Here’s how Cynomi works:

Smart Security Assessments 
Cynomi starts with a simple questionnaire to understand a client’s current setup. Based on the answers, it automatically creates follow-up assessments to build a full picture of their security health. Clients can even complete parts themselves, giving them ownership while the vCISO stays in control.

Custom Policies in Minutes 
After the assessment, Cynomi generates clear, tailored security policies for each organization. These include the purpose, key requirements, and a score (from 1 to 10) showing how strong they are. Policies can be adjusted based on the client’s risk tolerance, so they’re practical and aligned with business goals.

Find Real Risks with Integrated Scans 
Cynomi supports several types of technical scans to uncover actual vulnerabilities:
1. External scans check for open ports, SSL issues, and DNS security.
2. Internal scans assess password policies, patch levels, and admin access.
3. You can also import results from tools like Nessus or Qualys.
4. Microsoft 365 security data can be synced directly.
 
Turn Gaps into Actionable Tasks 
Instead of drowning in compliance checklists, Cynomi turns gaps into a simple to-do list. Each task includes: step-by-step guidance, priority level (Critical to Low), estimated effort, and option to upload proof (like PDFs or screen shots). Tasks can be grouped into short-, mid-, or long-term plans, helping you create realistic road maps that fit client budgets and team capacity.

Stay Audit-Ready with One Click 
Need to prove compliance? Just select the frameworks you’re targeting like NIST, ISO 27001, or CMMC and Cynomi automatically maps your work to the required controls. You can:
1. See compliance status at a glance
2. Drill into specific requirements
3. Generate professional, audit-ready reports instantly

Clear Dashboards and Reports 
The central dashboard shows your client's security posture in real time:
1. A Posture Score (0–10) gives an overall health rating
2. A readiness heat map highlights weak areas
3. Open tasks and scan findings are clearly listed


With Cynomi, you can also generate key reports for executives or board meetings as these will make it easy to show value and progress to stakeholders.
1. Full Report: Summary of risks and action plans
2. Risk Mitigation Plan: Shows progress over time
3. Risk Findings Report: Includes a benchmarked Risk Score compared to industry peers
