vCISO

A vCISO or "Virtual Chief Information Security Officer" is seasoned cybersecurity professional who works at at the executive level of your organization to help build and drive cybersecurity and risk strategy. The average cybersecurity executive in the US makes $300 thousand a year.  This price point is too large for small and mid-market businesses to afford.  This creates a gap that can prove costly for SMBs, since they do not have a vital part of the executive team guiding them through business risks that include cybersecurity.  That's where we come in. 

Knowing budget is always a priority, we partner with your organization in a fractional capacity, so you get an experience professional guiding you when you need it without the full cost associated with hiring an employee.  Our leaders have experience with a wide range of companies and industry and understand how to bridge cybersecurity and business risk.  

While a risk assessment is a point in time review of what your risks were at that point, the vCISO knows that risks change over time.  Continued assessment and review of remediation strategies is critical in the continued effort to protect your organization.  Have a leader managing this effort and reporting back to the rest of the leadership gives you piece of mind that you're in good hands. 

Policies allow you to explain to the organization what your expectations are a specific subject.  We'll help develop and implement policies and procedures that will guide your company and employees.  We'll also implement a tracking tool where each employee will be responsible for reviewing and acknowledging each policy allowing us to report on the compliance of program and each policy.    

Training is an integral part of any program. Ensuring your team understands what risks could impact them and how to defend against them could mean the difference between a deleted email and a ransomware attack.  We'll educate your staff and test them to give piece of mind.  And of course you'll get monthly reporting to see where where each employees stands. 

At the onset of the program we'll review the dark web to identify if any information is currently for sale on the dark web.  From that point on, we'll have constant reviews to ensure nothing new is found.  If it is, we'll alert you and review the risk with you to ensure appropriate measure are taken.  

Cybersecurity is a journey, not a destination.  Through continued review and oversite, we'll work with you to keep your risk as low as possible and we'll stay on top of emerging threat.
