  • Virtual CISO (vCISO) Advisory Services

A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) or CISO-as-a-Service (CISOaaS) is the outsourcing of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and information security leadership services to a third-party provider. A company can access employees and resources it lacks internally by recruiting a third-party provider to administer its security program remotely, enabling it to meet compliance and information security requirements better. A virtual CISO is an affordable approach for the company to have access to a top-notch cybersecurity adviser. A vCISO analyzes the company’s critical business issues and the current scenario and helps to build or monitor the company’s overall information security posture.
