Virtual CISO-as-a-service
Cybersecurity is essential for success in the digital age. It would be best if you had expert guidance in building a strong IT infrastructure and effective internal processes to protect your business from cyber threats. While having a dedicated information security expert is ideal, these professionals are often hard to find, expensive, and not always needed full-time. Virtual CISO-as-a-service offers a practical solution, providing shared expertise without the full-time commitment.
Your business challenges
Keeping up with regulations
Staying on top of new rules and laws can be overwhelming.
Team knowledge gaps
The team sometimes lacks the expertise we need.
Time crunch
We're often pressed for time and need to fix things as soon as possible.
Finding experts
It's tough to find skilled cybersecurity professionals out there.
Resource strain
We're asked to go digital, but our resources are just enough for handling the tech side.
Our Solution
A company's cybersecurity is critical to successful operations in the digital environment. To ensure your business is fully prepared and protected from cyber threats expert knowledge and participation in creating resilient IT infrastructure and proper internal processes is necessary. The best expertise can be provided if a dedicated information security expert is available. However, today's realities are harsh - experts are not easily available, they are expensive and organizations usually do not need them for full-time. Here comes help in the face of virtual CISO – shared experts with broad knowledge.
The service aims to assist the organization in:
- Maintaining compliance with external cybersecurity mandates
- Staying aware of current cybersecurity risks and countermeasures
- Managing and preempting risks to prevent disruptions and loss
- Optimizing costs within cybersecurity efforts
- Offering user education and support for IT resource management
- Assisting with cybersecurity incidents
- Conducting regular IT control assessments to verify effective risk management and clarify stakeholder responsibilities
Each client is supported by a specialized team, including a project manager, compliance specialist, cybersecurity consultant, and expert. The service operates on a cycle of continual enhancement, employing dashboards for status tracking and reporting to management about risks and proposed actions.
*We will use one of the industry’s best practices - the CIS Critical Security Controls as a valuable foundation for cybersecurity planning, implementation and risk remediation strategy.
Project timeline
The minimum time for service is one year with an option to extend it after the period ends.
A service calendar plan is created for each case because it depends on various factors (e.g. compliance requirements, vacation season, internal technology upgrade cycles, etc.).
The first 3 months are always an onboarding and evaluation phase with a standard list of activities we have to perform, for example, annual risk and maturity assessment, vulnerability assessment of internal and external resources, ICT incident management workshop, and many more.
Tasks are divided into 3 main categories:
- Compliance with best practices and regulations in policies and internal procedures
- Technical security implementation and monitoring in existing and new IT systems
- Ongoing review and auditing of key IT and security process
