Virtual / Fractional CISO
Service description
A Fractional or Virtual CISO is a cybersecurity expert who, rather than being a full-time employee, is hired on a part-time or project basis. They offer expertise, guidance, and strategic leadership for developing and implementing tailored information security practices based on an organization’s unique needs. Fractional CISOs most often refer to on-site Chief Information Security Officers. Most fractional CISOs are part-time cybersecurity experts and maintain other IT roles within or outside the company. Virtual CISOs most often refer to outsourced cybersecurity teams. Instead of maintaining cybersecurity personnel as payroll employees, you can hire an outside agency whose primary role is to build and maintain IT security. As the name implies, virtual CISOs work off-site and provide vCISO services to a portfolio of clients.
Benefit
Part-time senior security leadership to build your security program, policies, and roadmap and to answer customer security questionnaires — without a full-time hire.
ROI
Executive security guidance at a fraction of a full-time CISO's cost, accelerating deals that hinge on security maturity.
