VIRTUAL CISO (VCISO)

A vCISO service provides an organization with access to a cybersecurity expert or a team of experts allowing businesses to get the benefit of a highly skilled CISO without needing to employ a full-time executive. Virtual CISO services should help align your cybersecurity strategy and business goals.

Any organization that wants to enhance its cybersecurity strategy, program and roadmap can benefit from Virtual CISO services. For example, small to medium-sized businesses that may not have the budget for a full-time CISO, larger organizations that need expert advice or additional help to manage their cybersecurity strategy, etc.

vCISO services offer flexibility and cost-efficiency. They can provide high-level security expertise without the costs associated with hiring a full-time CISO. vCISOs offer a larger pool of resources and skillsets compared to a single in-house CISO to help prepare you for today’s sophisticated cyber threats.
