Bridge the cyber security knowledge gap with an on-demand virtual Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)


Having someone in charge of your security is vital to your company in the Information Age. But if your business is just getting on its feet, hiring someone full-time with executive-level pay can be challenging, if not impossible.



This is where a Virtual (C)ISO can come in handy. You hire them for a set number of hours a week and they perform the (C)ISO job remotely. Depending on the size of your business, you can scale the hours required while ensuring that your company’s data security is in good hands.


What is a Virtual (C)ISO?

Many companies assign security duties to on-site personnel as a secondary part of their job. The problem is that it is not their area of expertise – and this leads to information security taking a backseat to other tasks.

This isn’t good – and every day, more companies are beginning to realize how dangerous attacks that can cripple productivity and profits. But bringing a new person on board, full-time, can be daunting if not impossible, depending on the size of your company.


(C)ISO stands for Chief Information Security Officer. And the good news is that with a Virtual (C)ISO, the duties of a (C)ISO can be performed off-site on a part-time basis. This means that for a budget-conscious company, a Virtual (C)ISO can be a godsend.
It frees up the time of your staff to do what they are good at – 
while maintaining the highest levels of information security.it can be to put inexperienced management into information security positions, can lead to data breaches, sensitive or confidential information being disclosed, and malware.


How does a Virtual (C)ISO work?


A Virtual (C)ISO works like any other employee – except you don’t have them on site, don’t pay them full-time, and don’t offer them benefits.
They perform their duties on a contr
act basis. You can bring in a Virtual (C)ISO for a specific project or purchase a set number of hours and use them when you need them.
They can advise on any number of issues, including:
ü  Whether your best practices meet current regulations
ü  Any issues in your security protocol that need updating
ü  If there is a risk inside your organization from personnel
ü  Cross-compliance issues – not all nations share the same data protection laws
ü  Protecting your data
ü  Planning for a data breach – because time is essential when you are compromise



Should I hire a Virtual (C)ISO for my company?

Data security should be a priority for any company. You shouldn’t pray that breaches don’t happen or rely on an untrained worker to be up-to-date on security issues.If you can’t afford to hire a full time Information Security Officer, then you need to have a Virtual (C)ISO at your disposal.
