Remote IT Security Officer
Safeguards Protects Mitigates
Virtual chief information security officer, also referred to as a virtual CISO, vCISO, or CISO-as-a-Service provider, works as an outsourced or on-demand security practitioner. A vCISO role can be filled by a single individual or a team of virtual experts. Although they typically work as remote, part-time contractors, vCISOs provide many of the benefits of a full-time CISO but without the hefty price tag.
Virtual CISO security program steps
As a Virtual Information Security Officer (vCISO), I offer a comprehensive range of security program steps to help protect and enhance your organization's digital assets. Here is an overview of the services I provide:
Define Your Company’s
Security Maturity Level
Create Your
Security Strategy Plan
vCISO service starts by performing a risk assessment and a maturity assessment. After assessing the organization, vCISO have conversations with leadership to understand where you want your security program to be, (i.e., what maturity level you want to be at). This can be determined by several factors, including which regulatory landscape your company falls under, any past incidents that have dictated some level of ongoing auditing, and – a factor many companies fail to include in their plans – what contractual obligations you have with clients. By utilizing this method, the organization decides how they want to mature their program and together we executive on that plan to deliver a security program that meets the organization’s needs.
Next, a vCISO will work with your team to develop a strategic security plan. This plan may include things like establishing stronger policies and standards, getting a better idea of your unique threat landscape and library, vendor risk assessments, defining remediation timelines, creating a security awareness training program, and understanding your compliance landscape. Then, he will present it to your executive team and board in a way that even non-technical members may understand, modify, and contribute feedback to.
