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.
