CISO Global Inc (NASDAQ: CISO) is a cybersecurity services company that provides managed security, compliance, risk management, penetration testing, and proprietary software solutions to enterprise clients. Revenue is generated through service contracts spanning managed IT security, integrated risk management, IT audits, and compliance services, supplemented by proprietary software including the CHECKLIGHT platform. The company has grown primarily through acquisition, completing more than a dozen deals between 2019 and the early 2020s, absorbing firms across Arizona, Texas, Virginia, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Florida, Oklahoma, and Chile. As of the 10-K filed March 30, 2026, CISO Global served more than 437 clients across diverse sectors. The company positions itself as technology-agnostic, meaning it works with clients' existing tools rather than requiring proprietary hardware or platform lock-in. Recurring revenue is a stated strategic priority, supported by cross-selling and upselling across the acquired client base.
