Cyber Readiness Advisory Retainer
Continuous CYBAIR posture, evidence, and remediation counsel. Workload coverage is the unit line; the retainer is the judgment around it.
Operational Friction & Multipolar Mandate
Why traditional ad-hoc approaches fail at scale, and the precision protocol deployed to resolve it.
Why this engagement exists
Posture decays the moment an assessment ends. Workloads change, frameworks shift, and evidence goes stale — so the defensible picture an organization built becomes a liability the next time an auditor, insurer, or customer asks for proof.
- ✕The last assessment is a snapshot nobody trusts six months later.
- ✕New workloads ship without posture scoring.
- ✕Framework shifts trigger scramble responses instead of rehearsed updates.
- ✕Remediation stalls because nobody tracks it to closure.
Engineered scope & execution
We keep the CYBAIR picture current: posture re-scoring as workloads change, evidence kept audit-ready, remediation tracked to closure, and counsel when frameworks shift. Each covered workload is a CYBAIR unit; the retainer fee is the standing counsel and cadence around those units.
- ✓Standing CYBAIR coverage of the nominated workload estate
- ✓Posture re-scoring as workloads change
- ✓Evidence and attestation kept audit-ready
- ✓Remediation tracking to closure
- ✓Framework-shift counsel and quarterly executive readouts
What You Take Away
Every deliverable is named, structured, and tied to an immutable operational outcome. Nothing ships as a slide deck with no longevity.
Continuous posture coverage
CYBAIR posture kept current across the covered workloads, re-scored as they change.
The posture picture is always defensible, never a stale snapshot.
Audit-ready evidence, continuously
Evidence and attestation maintained so audits and insurer reviews start prepared.
No evidence scramble — the trail is current by default.
Remediation tracking to closure
Findings tracked with owners and closure criteria until they are done.
Remediation actually completes instead of aging in a backlog.
Quarterly executive readouts
The posture story for leadership each quarter: what changed, what closed, what remains.
Leadership oversight runs on a cadence with current evidence.
How This Engagement Runs
Structured gates from initial telemetry and baseline ingestion to verified exit capabilities.
Baseline the estate
The covered workloads are nominated and baselined on CYBAIR. The unit count sets the coverage line for the year.
Run the cadence
Posture re-scoring, evidence maintenance, and remediation tracking run on cadence as workloads change.
Absorb framework shifts
When frameworks shift, the response is rehearsed: crosswalk updates, evidence adjustments, and counsel.
Report to leadership
Executive readouts each quarter close the loop between posture, remediation, and oversight.
Interactive Pricing Studio & Scope Engine
Our pricing is engineered, not asserted. Configure your organization profile and estate parameters to see the exact real-time cost breakdown.
Configure Your Parameters
The fee moves on three objective multipliers—Sensitivity, Involvement, and Org Type. Each factor reflects real operational handling and operator time.
Sensitivity
×0.90 – ×1.30 on the engagement feeSensitivity sets the handling envelope around the whole engagement: how data moves, where evidence lives, who can touch it, and what containment we must maintain. Higher sensitivity means cleared handling, segregated evidence, and slower, more deliberate operations — real cost that a flat fee would hide.
Involvement
×0.85 – ×1.35 on the engagement feeInvolvement is how much Multipolar operator time is on the hook. Counsel at checkpoints is a different commitment than embedded delivery inside your team, your systems, and your cadence. The multiplier tracks senior hours actually committed — not a markup.
Organization type
×0.85 – ×1.25 on the engagement feeThe same technical work lands differently depending on who is buying it. Federal and defense engagements carry procurement, compliance, security review, and stakeholder alignment that a mid-market engagement does not. The multiplier prices the coordination and accountability surface, not the analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Specific intelligence regarding security clearance, deliverable ownership, platform telemetry, and execution cadence.
No. It is advisory retainer on top of CYBAIR posture: counsel, cadence, and tracking. Your team operates; we keep the picture defensible.
