Every one of our virtual CISO service engagements begins with a cybersecurity maturity level assessment based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s Cybersecurity Framework. Drawing upon the insights revealed within this assessment and an in-depth understanding of your organization’s regulatory compliance and risk management needs, your virtual CISO will assume the role of a cybersecurity leader within your organization. Virtual CISOs take responsibility for project management, providing strategic advisory services and ensuring that you have the right policies, processes, and technologies in place to mitigate cyber risks. The goal is to work with business executives to ensure that the organization will continue to adhere to the right plan of action over the long term.

Whether you need help completing vulnerability or third-party risk assessments or answering questions during a compliance audit or while filing an insurance claim, your virtual CISO is ready and able to supply the right information to interested parties as soon as it’s needed.

Chart your path forward in a way that’s both clear and actionable
Your virtual CISO will work with your internal team to create a written information security plan (WISP). This document outlines the trajectory that your organization will follow as it advances its cybersecurity maturity, defining roles and responsibilities for stakeholders, outlining concrete steps you’ll take to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your data and ensuring that solid business continuity, disaster recovery and incident response plans are in place.
Cost-effective security leadership that’s right-sized for your business
Few small and midsized organizations have the resources needed to recruit, hire and retain a full-time CISO, but many could benefit from access to a CISO’s expertise on a part-time basis that’s optimized to meet their needs and fit their budget. Work with your CISO on a regular basis for just the right number of hours, based on the size and scope of the changes you want to make.
