Virtual CISO

A virtual CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is a senior-level executive within the business who is responsible for establishing and maintaining the enterprise vision, strategy, and program to ensure information assets and technologies are adequately protected. They are the go to person to ensure your business keeps its information safe from cyber attacks.

The board rarely possesses the specialist skills which are needed to combat today’s cyber criminals and therefore have to rely upon external collaboration. The virtual CISO service which is offered by InfoSec Governance has been designed to fill that skill gap. A remote virtual CISO service means that you will receive a board-level resource that can sit within your business virtually. This allows you to manage your security strategy, budget, review of risks and regulatory program.

Why choose our virtual CISO Service?

Our Virtual CISO service will help you, by providing someone remotely, who understands the current information risk environment in which the business operates. The vCISO service can take responsibility for all strategic information security goals, where necessary. This service needs to inform, influence and support the organisation’s board, shareholders or partners, as well as requiring the knowledge and resources to engage their full support.

All of our information security officers know how to provide clear advice to all audiences.
