CISO Doubles SaaS Forecast..... and It’s Just the Beginning

2025 software bookings forecast doubled to $10 million.

Why?Because of the nationwide launch of CyberSimple, the white-labeled version of CISO’s CHECKLIGHT cybersecurity platform. It’s being distributed by Financial Independence Group (FIG) and supported by Cyber Assurance Group Inc. (CAGI), tapping into a $2 billion market.

This is something the company has been talking about for a long time, and now it’s finally launched. They have enough data points to confidently double anticipated revenue, and that matters.

But what I like even more than the actual doubling is how quickly it came after launch. That’s our strongest signal.

Let’s remember: CheckLight = CyberSimple. Same platform. Different brand.

CHECKLIGHT didn’t have any real traction in Q1 or Q2, this $10M forecast is built on just Q3 and Q4. So not only will next year’s SaaS revenue benefit from a full four quarters…I believe we’re going to see explosive growth on top of that.

And remember: Margins are what the market rewards.

The Math Is Simple (And It Matters)

CISO is forecasting $10 million in SaaS bookings for 2025, again, just from the second half of the year.

Let’s be conservative for a second and assume 2026 runs at that same pace (even though growth should accelerate).

Apply a reasonable 7x SaaS multiple, not outrageous given the warranty-backed model and national distribution, and the 2026 software segment alone could justify:

That’s before we even talk about their services business.

Sum-of-the-Parts Valuation

Here’s how I break it down:

In other words:

Why CyberSimple Is a Big Deal

Most cybersecurity companies sell you software.CISO (via CyberSimple) is selling a warranty-backed cybersecurity solution, with $1.5 million in protection if something goes wrong.

Here’s what makes it different:

• You can sign up online

• Download the software

• It runs quietly in the background

• If you’re hacked, you’re financially protected

That’s it. You don’t need to understand cybersecurity. You just need peace of mind.

They can offer this protection because the system works.Over 100 million hours of run-time without a breach.That’s the part the market isn’t pricing in yet.

My Take

If you’ve followed my CISO coverage (I know there’s been a lot), you know the question was never:

It was:

Now we know.

So, I’ll say it again:

I know some shareholders are getting bored. The volume dries up, the price chops sideways, and it feels like nothing’s happening. But this is where patience pays.

Most of the market moves too fast to see the setup. They sell before the shift becomes obvious. But the real profit is in holding when it’s quiet, not when it’s trending.

This news was quiet. The impact won’t be.

And by the way…I’m working on something CISO-related that I think is going to be greatStay tuned.
