Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)
Access the expertise and experience of a senior security professional
Hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) can be challenging and costly for many organisations, especially small and medium-sized businesses. However, having a CISO is essential for developing and implementing a security strategy, policies, and procedures, as well as overseeing security operations, projects, and initiatives.
That’s why we offer the vCISO Service, a security solution that provides you with access to the expertise and experience of a senior security professional, without hiring one internally. With our service, you can benefit from the guidance and support of a virtual CISO (vCISO) who will work with you to improve your security posture, reduce your cyber risks, and comply with industry standards and regulations.
