vCISO Service
A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is an external cybersecurity expert who provides strategic leadership and guidance to organizations on a flexible, contractual basis. Unlike a full-time, in-house CISO, a vCISO is hired to address specific security needs, oversee risk management, and develop robust cybersecurity strategies tailored to the organization’s goals and industry requirements. Hiring a vCISO is cost-effective and more affordable than employing a full-time CISO, especially for smaller businesses or startups.
