Virtual CISO Services

Don’t need a fulltime Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) as part of your team? No problem, we can fill that gap by acting as your Virtual CISO — providing expert security advice and management that aligns with your business needs and budgetary constraints. Our IT security services are designed to provide ongoing cybersecurity management expertise to small and midsized companies.

Several compliance regulations, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), International Organization for Standardization 27002, and National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publications 800-53, require a formal assignment of information security to a Chief Security Officer or another security-knowledgeable member of management. If your organization does not have one, hiring a virtual CISO can help fill the gap and it is also a good approach for SMBs to engage in the management, deployment, and maintenance of a sound information security program. Some of the main certifications our CISOs have:

  • Information security leadership and guidance
  • Cybersecurity Advisor to Senior Executives & Audit Committees
  • Strategic Information Security Planning
  • Security program and project management
  • Minimizing the disruptive impacts of a security breach
  • Cybersecurity Roadmap Development
  • Risk and Vulnerability Assessment
  • Security policy, process, and procedure development
  • Leading, coaching, and mentoring your team
  • Employee Security Training
  • Disaster Recovery Planning
