Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)
Do you need a cyber security expert in your company, but can’t justify the expense of a full-time employee? Is the cyber skills shortage making it difficult to find the right set of skills? Is your business going through a transition leaving you between CISOs? Are you facing specific compliance requirements, and need some short-term help?
SEP2’s vCISO could be your answer.
A virtual CISO (vCISO) is an experienced cyber security professional who lends their skills to organisations on an ad-hoc, remote or on-demand basis. This gives an organisation access to many of the benefits of an in-house CISO but without the costly overheads.
Some businesses turn to Fractional CISOs to solve this problem, hiring a cyber security professional on a part-time basis. This solution lacks the flexibility and scalability of a vCISO.
SEP2’s vCISO will:
- Improve your company’s cyber security posture Â
- Be an on-hand resource for questions and assurance Â
- Save your business money compared to a full-time equivalent Â
- Make vendor-agnostic recommendations on the best security solutions Â
- Provide a scalable solution – from five-day cyber security health checks to long-term support Â
- Help your business achieve compliance requirements such as ISO27001 or Cyber Essentials Â
- Ensure your business meets growing cyber security insurance requirements Â
- Participate in executive and board meetings to ensure cyber security considerations are addressed and to advocate for investment Â
