Virtual CISO

vCISO Services, a subscription-based security management offering, continuously offer expertise to a company, working with them to design or manage their security strategy and establish a strong cyber security posture.

What is a Virtual CISO?

The term "Virtual Chief Information Security Officer," or "vCISO," refers to a specialist who regularly collaborates with businesses to deliver all of the critical cyber security support one would anticipate from an internal senior executive, but with a more effective and cheaper service model. You get ongoing advice and help for cyber security issues from a dedicated virtual CISO, as well as long-term security strategy, vision, programme, and policy formulation, development, and execution.

vCISOs undertake a thorough audit of its security posture of your organization to identify gaps and improve the company's security position over time. A vCISO will step in to establish security standards, implement controls, and respond quickly to incidents—continually refining your strategy to address the dynamic threat landscape as well as business best practices and regulations. They can do this either as a long-term resource for your team or as an interim CISO.

How can a Virtual CISO assist your organization?

A virtual CISO is your point of contact for all security-related issues, providing a direct channel to specialists as queries inevitably come up. A virtual CISO will also respond to issues, address consumer security-related questions, and handle any eventual data breach. A vCISO will participate in meetings whenever security expertise and direction are required, in addition to providing continuous and periodic support. Additional vCISO support includes:


  • Security & Privacy Program Design and Implementation
  • Security Architecture Design and Policy Development
  • Information Risk Assessment and Management
  • Vulnerability Management and Monitoring
  • Identity and Access Management
  • Data Classification
  • Data Loss Prevention/Plan Implementation
  • Compliance Initiatives (PCI FACTA HIPAA SOX)
  • Security Standards (ISO 27001 NIST FISMA)
  • Audit Remediation and Audit Management
  • Security Awareness Training
  • Vendor Contracts and Risk Management

Virtual CISO Services is the logical choice for cybersecurity leadership for small and medium-sized businesses.

It takes regular attention to ensure the security of sensitive customer financial and personal information as well as critical corporate data. Small- to medium-sized firms need the same level of security and control measures already in place at larger corporations, even though not every business requires a full-time CISO to supervise this role. Smaller corporations may have fewer resources, but they frequently have the same compliance and risk needs as larger businesses. In order to offer and streamline controls to satisfy risk and compliance objectives without the need to hire full-time staff personnel, virtual CISO services can be useful in this situation.
