Virtual CISO Services

Solve your hard governance, risk, and compliance problems with an experienced Virtual CISO.

From compliance readiness to strategic risk management, Fractional CISO’s vCISOs will take ownership of your cybersecurity program, align it to your business goals, and drive its transformation.

Benefits of Cybersecurity and vCISO Leadership

What can a Virtual CISO do for your organization?

vCISOs fulfill the same role that full-time CISOs do. They design, implement, and manage cybersecurity programs, lead compliance initiatives for standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and reduce the cyber risk your business faces.

Reduce your cyber risk.

Cybersecurity attacks can be devastating, causing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in downtime, remediation costs, fines, and reputational damage. Virtual CISO-managed cybersecurity programs help you understand and manage this risk so you can rest easy.

Achieve compliance goals and enable sales.

Many B2B customers expect their vendors and partners to have high-quality cybersecurity programs, validated through compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Virtual CISOs lead these compliance initiatives, and enable sales as a result.

Free up your in-house leadership team.

Before organizations hire a full-time CISO, cybersecurity tasks are often given to in-house IT and leadership staff. Virtual CISOs take them instead, so your in-house team can focus on their primary responsibilities.

Why use a Virtual CISO instead of a full-time CISO?

I need cybersecurity leadership, but… 

Gain the leadership of a full-time C-level at a fraction of the cost. Full-time CISOs cost on average over $240,000 between salary and benefits. Virtual CISOs fill the same role at significantly reduced cost. 

Enjoy the flexibility of a Virtual CISO arrangement. You don’t need to keep a vCISO busy with make-work assignments.  Flexibility is built into the vCISO model, so you get only the services you need, and none that you don’t. 

Deploy a new cybersecurity in weeks, not months. While executive searches take months, vCISO agreements can be executed as quickly as your CEO can sign it.

The Fractional CISO Formula for Quality

What makes Fractional CISO different?

Team Approach

With Fractional CISO, you aren’t just hiring a consultant. You’re adding a highly accessible U.S.-based cybersecurity team consisting of an experienced Virtual CISO and a skilled cybersecurity analyst to your organization.

Zero Conflicts of Interest

Most cybersecurity and IT consultants collect commissions or finder’s fees when they recommend certain tools or partner businesses to their clients. We only recommend the tools that are right for your business and take no kickbacks, ever.

Quantified Decision Making

No two businesses are built the same. Would cookie-cutter guidance be enough for you? We quantify the cyber risks facing your business and integrate them with your goals to build a custom GRC program uniquely designed for your long-term success.

Is your Cyber Insurance really going to cover you?

Only 1/3 of cyber insurance policies actually pay out in incidents. Most companies have cyber insurance policies that insure too little, or too much, and have absurdly low caps and silly exclusions.
