Cybersecurity-as-a-Service

vCISO

Cybersecurity defense is a specialized topic that requires both deep subject knowledge and real-world experience - leverage our seasoned experts to fill the gap.

Why a vCISO

A vCISO is a highly-trained cybersecurity expert contracted by an organization to handle its IT security and compliance programs. They bring years of cybersecurity experience gained from working with multiple organizations and across all areas of the economy.

They learn the technology organizations have deployed, and build relationships with the C-suite, other executives, and the IT team. The vCISO combines this client knowledge with their industry experience to provide the best cybersecurity advice and build a strategy to deliver protection, governance, compliance, reporting, and a roadmap for any changes needed.
