Company “Orange Security” (Orange) provides virtual CISO services for SMBs. Most clients hire Orange to become SOC2 compliant.
Orange Inc. offers three types of contracts:
One-time Projects
These projects are fixed in scope and price.
The company and the client agree on a fixed set of services that Orange will help with, in exchange for a one-time flat fee.
This type of service is normally offered when the client needs only a limited amount of help in becoming compliant, or if the client has internal resources and is only hiring Orange to assist.
Fixed-term Projects
These projects that have a less strict scope and price. The client agrees to pay a flat monthly fee for a fixed determine number of months. For example $1,000 per month for 4 months, a total of $4,000.
These are normally offered when the clients needs are slightly more broad than option 1. They need help with a certain number of tasks (on the road to compliance), and Orange believes that the tasks can be completed within the set number of months.
If the projects aren’t completed by the number of months specified in the contract, the client will typically opt to extend the contract at the same monthly rate, until compliance is achieved.
Recurring Projects
These projects have a flat monthly fee with a contract length of 12 months. Often, these agreements are evergreen and extend beyond the initial 12 months.
These are typically offered when the client has no internal resources and/or the client is very early in their compliance journey and needs a lot of help.
