Virtual CISO

A virtual chief information security officer, or vCISO, is a professional who works routinely with organizations to provide all of the essential cyber security support one would expect from an in-house senior executive within a more efficient and affordable service model. Gain day-to-day cyber security support and counsel from a dedicated vCISO along with long-term security strategy, vision, program and policy design, and implementation.

While it’s not always cost effective to hire a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to lead risk management and information assurance programs, our advisors can deliver much of the same services at a fraction of the investment you would pay for a full-time executive hire. Reduce your risk profile with hands-on vCISO support from a dedicated advisor who already understands the small business environment. We’re entrepreneurial, wear multiple hats like you, and can protect your organization with the right strategic and operational vision. Team up with a proactive, self-driven vCISO—delivering the adaptability you need to meet the demands of external influences such as customer requests, audit requirements, and rising threats.

Our vCISO Security Program and Security Consulting Services provide our client with an comprehensive security team and a board-level cyber security consultant. Our team will provide strategic leadership, security strategy, compliance, and corporate security consulting for your business.

How can a vCISO assist your organization?

A vCISO is your security point-of-contact for all security related issues, offering a direct line to experts as questions naturally arise. A vCISO will also respond to incidents, answer security-related questionnaires for your customers, and respond to data breaches should they arise. In addition to ongoing and ad hoc support, a vCISO will tie into meetings when security expertise and guidance are needed. Additional vCISO support includes:

The benefit of world-class CISO expertise and highly specialized security talent for a fraction of the cost of a full-time staff member
