DEFENSE-IN-DEPTH SECURITY PROGRAM

The sharpest eyes to secure your business

Our Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services deliver in-depth strategic support to mitigate your risks and secure your company from today’s threats.

Phase 1

Risk Assessment

Establish your current security baseline and identify critical gaps, with detailed recommendations that form the foundation for your security roadmap.

Based on your company size and requirements, choose between vCISO Lite for a rapid risk overview, or vCISO Pro for a more detailed risk assessment.

Phase 2

Planning and policy making

Using insights from the assessment phase, we develop a tailored security roadmap that aligns with your business objectives, risk tolerance, and budget constraints.

We identify owners and set timelines, creating governance policies ready for employee review.

Phase 3

Implementing actions

Our team works alongside your staff to execute the security roadmap, deploying new controls, refining policies, and establishing ongoing security awareness training.

From 3 months to year-long commitments, we work through your prioritized list of risks, eliminating technical debt, investing in IT and completing key projects.

Phase 4

Manage and maintain

Security is an ongoing process, not a one-time project. We provide continuous oversight, regular reviews, and timely adjustments to ensure your security program remains effective against evolving threats and changing business needs.

This includes questionnaire completions, security brief drafts and incident handling.

INCIDENT HANDLING

Always ready when challenges arise

Preparation

Your vCISO builds clear response plans for approval in advance, to prepare for any incident.

Detection

Effective monitoring systems are set to quickly identify potential security incidents.

Response

Your vCISO leads the response to contain threats, minimize damage and restore operations.

Analysis

With a root cause analysis (RCA), we learn immediate lessons and implement changes.

VULNERABILITY ALERT MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Stay secure through continual review

Document

Your vCISO deploys a codified rating system for vulnerabilities and clear timelines for responding to issues.

Monitor

Vendor alerts are monitored to quickly identify urgent “drop everything” action over standard patching schedules.

Mitigate

Where more easily implemented mitigating controls are identified by your vCISO, these are quickly recommended.

Validate

All systems are validated, not just those in your asset database, preventing vulnerabilities even in old, forgotten machines.

COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY OVERVIEW

Regular response to reduce risk over time

Our vCISO gives your organization end-to-end security program management – from strategic planning to day-to-day operations – to continually reduce your risk.

vCISO COMPARISON
