Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
What is our Virtual CISO service?
We provide virtual Chief Information Security Officers (CISO’s) for organisations on a part-time basis.
The CISO manages your organisations Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) to ensure that your risks are mitigated and you operate within the required legislation.
Our CISO resources are certified and have many years of experience in the management of Governance, Risk and Compliance.
The CISO fully integrates with your management team and works alongside existing internal resources (e.g. your IT team) or with your appointed managed service provider.
Our service is available on three levels, with the key difference being the amount of time the CISO is working for you on a monthly basis.
- Certified CISO (CCISO)
- Certified in ISO 27001
- Certified in Data Protection
- Certified Security Professional
- Over 20 Years of IT Experience
- Strong Security Background
Benefits of a Virtual CISO
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.
Easy Onboarding
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.
Service Costs
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.
What does a CISO do?
Manages and Reduces Risk
Risks must be identified and managed in order to reduce an organisations exposure to financial loss and damage to their reputation.
Improves Legislative Compliance
There is a steady growth in compliance obligations. Most organisations have numerous legal and best practice compliance requirements.
Represents Your Organisation
Having a CISO is an excellent way of demonstrating how seriously your organisation handles security and data protection.
Drives Security Improvements
The CISO will produce and manage a Security Improvement Plan. This is designed to increase your overall security posture.
