Named Partner · vCISO Services

Orion Secure delivers compliance-driven vCISO services on Vijilan's white-label SOC.

The cybersecurity consulting firm has partnered with Vijilan since February 2018, delivering white-labeled 24/7 threat monitoring to financial institutions, government contractors, and municipalities without building a SOC.

The challenge

Orion Secure — founded in 2009 as Cyber Defense Institute and rebranded in 2025 — is a leading cybersecurity consulting firm specializing in compliance-driven vCISO services. Its clients operate in highly regulated industries — financial services and defense contracting — that require 24/7 monitoring and logging to comply with rigorous standards like New York State DFS regulations and CMMC.

As a small professional services company, Orion Secure lacked the internal technology and manpower to offer the advanced threat-monitoring capabilities its clients demanded. It also needed a partner providing non-competitive services, avoiding conflicts with the managed service providers already working with its clients.

02

The approach

Vijilan's white-labeled threat monitoring let Orion Secure position the service as its own value-added offering without diluting its brand, backed by Vijilan's US-based SOC as a vital differentiator for knowledgeable, responsive support.

Vijilan's passive data capture and non-intrusive threat monitoring fit Orion Secure's vCISO services: compliance without requiring direct access to client IT systems, a critical factor for maintaining client trust — and without interfering with the MSPs already in those environments.

03

The outcome

Vijilan enabled Orion Secure to deliver 24/7 monitoring and logging that keeps clients consistently compliant, with audit-ready reports compiled instantly when auditors ask. "For most clients, we're quietly monitoring in the background. They only notice us when auditors request a report, and we can provide it instantly," Brandon Finton shared.

Clients rely on Vijilan's SOC for insights and rapid data analysis, reducing their own workload. "Clients see Vijilan as an extension of their IT team," Brandon noted. "Whether it's generating reports or investigating unusual activity, Vijilan's expertise adds significant value." The partnership has let Orion Secure continuously expand its offerings while staying focused on governance, risk, and compliance.

"Vijilan's stability and innovation give us the confidence to grow alongside them. They're more than a vendor—they're a true partner."
— Brandon Finton, President/Principal Consultant, Orion Secure
