What Is A Virtual CISO?

If your business ecosystem contains critical and sensitive data, you'll need to implement a security plan. That implies you'll need someone to guide the program ahead and steer the vision, strategy, and execution to achieve the organization's information security goals.

The virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) supports organisations in defending their infrastructure, data, employees, and customers against cyber attacks. A Virtual CISO is a top security specialist who develops the client's cybersecurity strategy. The current management and technical teams collaborate with the Virtual CISO. Internal security personnel may still exist, reporting to or collaborating with the vCISO and his team to implement a successful security system. The vCISO is also required to be able to report the organization's information security status to the board of directors, executive team, auditors, or regulators.

Why Should Organisations Hire A Virtual CISO?

Engineers, architects, and administrators each have their own set of skills and duties when it comes to controlling technical results. In practice, you'll need a committed, focused position to steer the security plan and ensure that it evolves into a more strategic approach that can be presented to company leadership with the proper degree of context over time.

A virtual CISO can sit outside of the tactical day-to-day operations and provide vision and guidance for a more programmatic approach that reveals the security program's scope. The transition towards a more proactive approach to security and risk management then begins.
