The Challenge
CA2 was managing their vCISO program with manual spreadsheets and required top experts, including the CEO, to review every program deliverable.
The Solution
Cynomi automated CA2 Security’s processes into repeatable workflows any vCISO – or even the client – can run, from risk and posture scoring to vendor risk management.
The Impact
CA2 Security doubled its revenue with no added headcount, launched a new recurring service, and reached a near-100% renewal rate – making scalability its biggest outcome.

Carlos Rodriguez · Chief Strategy & Executive Officer and vCISO, CA2 Security
Partnering with Cynomi has been the most crucial decision I’ve made since we started the company. Since adopting Cynomi, the first to second year we were using the tool, we were able to double up our revenue without adding any headcount.
Hi, my name is Carlos Rodriguez. I am the Chief Strategy and Executive Officer and vCISO at CA2 Security in Orlando, Florida. CA2 Security is focused on three niche markets: legal, healthcare, and insurance.
Before we joined forces with Cynomi, we had a lot of manual work. I had to build spreadsheets, Word documents just to do the calculations of risk or security posture scoring. So now with Cynomi, we have a great way to automate a lot of our processes. Cynomi gave us more of alignment with our vision of building repeatable processes that any of our vCISOs can run, or even the clients can run themselves too.
Cynomi has remarkably reduced the time and effort required to deliver high-quality strategic cybersecurity services without adding headcount. What I value most about Cynomi is how it enables CA2 Security to scale high-quality leadership services without scaling overhead.
At the same rate, we just launched vendor risk management as a recurring service, and it gives us a scalable way to assess third-party risk to the organization. This also has given us a strong renewal rate, basically 100%.
From a client standpoint, it means faster insights, cleaner roadmaps, better executive alignment, always-on visibility. The biggest tangible outcome to CA2 Security has been scalability.
What Our Team Loves About Cynomi
The Full Story
A Niche vCISO Practice in Legal, Healthcare, and Insurance
CA2 Security is a cybersecurity advisory and vCISO practice based in Orlando, Florida, focused on three niche markets: legal, healthcare, and insurance. Led by Chief Strategy & Executive Officer and vCISO Carlos Rodriguez, the firm set out to deliver high-quality strategic cybersecurity leadership to clients in these specialized fields.
The Bottleneck: Manual Spreadsheets and Word Documents
Before partnering with Cynomi, CA2 Security carried a lot of manual work. Carlos had to build spreadsheets and Word documents just to calculate risk and security posture scores. The approach worked, but it was time-intensive and bespoke – a ceiling on how efficiently the practice could deliver and grow.
Automating Repeatable vCISO Services with Cynomi
Cynomi gave CA2 Security a way to automate much of that work and aligned with the firm’s vision of building repeatable processes – workflows that any of its vCISOs, or even the clients themselves, can run. By removing manual effort, Cynomi remarkably reduced the time and effort required to deliver high-quality strategic cybersecurity services, all without adding headcount.
Doubling Revenue and Scaling Without Overhead
The results were significant. In the first to second year of using Cynomi, CA2 Security doubled its revenue without adding any headcount. The firm launched vendor risk management as a new recurring service, giving it a scalable way to assess third-party risk, and it now sees a renewal rate of basically 100%. For clients, that translates into faster insights, cleaner roadmaps, better executive alignment, and always-on visibility. As Carlos puts it, the biggest tangible outcome for CA2 Security has been scalability – the ability to scale high-quality leadership services without scaling overhead.

Why CA2 Security chose Cynomi
CA2’s problem was a vCISO practice that ran on manual effort. Carlos personally built spreadsheets and Word documents to calculate every client’s risk and posture score, and top experts had to review each deliverable. Cynomi turned that bespoke work into repeatable workflows any vCISO, or even the client, can run. That standardization is what let CA2 double its revenue from year one to year two without adding headcount, launch vendor risk management as a new recurring service, and hold a renewal rate of basically 100%.
