Virtual security leadership (vCISO)

An experienced security leader on a part-time basis, for organizations not yet ready for a full-time CISO.

The problem we solve

Clients, insurers and partners ask who is in charge of security. Hiring a full-time leader is expensive and slow, and handing the role to the IT manager puts them in conflict between system availability and risk control.

Who it is for

Organizations of 50 to 500 employees with no CISO
Fast-growing companies or those preparing a funding round
Leadership teams wanting a security voice at the executive table

What is included

Leading the security program
Executive committee participation and board reporting
Answering client and insurer questionnaires
Oversight of security vendors
Guidance during incidents

Our approach

The engagement starts with a 30-day baseline, then continues on an agreed monthly number of hours. We shape the role so it can be handed over to an internal leader the day you hire one.

Typical deliverables

Multi-year program Priorities, budget, milestones

Monthly report Progress and open risks

Board presentation Quarterly

Expected outcomes

A clearly identified person accountable for security
A program that moves forward instead of reacting
A role ready to be brought in-house
