Overview
Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)
Why you need a vCISO
Why you need a vCISO
Every company should have a clearly articulated information security strategy. Without it, an organization will never be able to effectively balance information security and general business challenges.
A virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is designed for organizations that need someone to take responsibility for the development and growth of the information security program but find it difficult to hire and retain a CISO. Hiring a full-time CISO can be an expensive and time-consuming proposition that results in a person who may not stay long due to industry demand for their position. A vCISO can provide everything you need at a fraction of the cost, with better stability. If a company spends too much on information security, it diverts precious resources from operating and growing the business. Too little spend, and the organization experiences unhealthy levels of unmitigated risk.
