Our Virtual CISO service provides organisations with expert information security leadership on a flexible, part-time basis — without the cost of a full-time executive. The Virtual CISO oversees your organisation’s Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) framework, ensuring that cyber risks are effectively managed and all operations align with regulatory standards.
Each of our CISOs is a certified professional with extensive experience in security governance and risk management. They work seamlessly with your management team, internal IT department, or external service providers to strengthen your security posture. The service is available in three tiers, allowing you to choose the level of engagement that best fits your business needs.
Having access to one of our virtual CISOs is not expensive, it’s considerably more cost-effective and affordable when compared with a full-time hire.
Our CISOs have in excess of 20 years experience in information services, the majority of which has been spent working within Information Security and Data Protection.
The CISOs role is to reduce your risk exposure. This is based upon their ability to identify, evaluate and manage risk.
Ultimately, they are focused on reducing your risk of a damaging cyber attack or financial penalties resulting from regulatory fines.
The CISO is in place to represent your organisation.
They will provide liaison with your existing customers and also assist with bid management for new business.
Having an experienced CISO will provide positive commercial benefits for your organisation.
Onboarding for the CISO takes approximately a week to complete.
We initially set up a kick off call to discuss the service and then agree how to onboard the CISO. The first step is to complete a risk assessment and then develop the Security Improvement Plan.
The CISO will then agree with senior stakeholders how best to implement the plan, what budget is required and how to resource the required activities.
The service is priced based upon three levels, which are differentiated by the amount of time required of the CISO by the organisation.
The service is highly cost-effective, considerably cheaper than hiring a full-time resource.
Risks must be identified and managed in order to reduce an organisations exposure to financial loss and damage to their reputation.
There is a steady growth in compliance obligations. Most organisations have numerous legal and best practice compliance requirements.
Having a CISO is an excellent way of demonstrating how seriously your organisation handles security and data protection.
The CISO will produce and manage a Security Improvement Plan. This is designed to increase your overall security posture.
