Many companies are finding virtual CISOs (vCISO) to be the solution for their organization’s IS needs. While their expertise is crucial in the current high-stakes environments surrounding cybersecurity and regulatory compliance, in-house CISO salaries can be prohibitive for many budget-constrained companies. vCISOs represent a less expensive alternative while still bringing invaluable expertise to your organization.
vCISOs can bring a significant level of overall expertise and a deep level of specialist experience/technical expertise to address IS concerns and comply with a myriad of regulatory and compliance requirements. If your organization has failed an audit, scored badly on an assessment, needs business continuity or disaster recovery planning, or just generally needs strategic direction, governance/risk/compliance leadership, or IT process improvement, then a vCISO can fill that need.
