Virtual CISO

A head of security, without hiring one full-time.

A senior security lead joins your management team part-time. They set the plan, write the policies, manage risk, prepare your audits and tell the board where you stand, in plain language.

What is included

  1. A named senior lead

    One dedicated person who learns your business and stays with you. [CONFIRM: same person throughout the engagement]

  2. A security plan tied to the business

    What to fix first, what it costs and why, agreed with management.

  3. Policies that fit how you work

    Security policies, standards and procedures written for your company, not copied from a template.

  4. Risk management that keeps going

    A risk register that is reviewed and updated, aligned with ISO 27001, NIST CSF and ENS.

  5. Audit preparation and coordination

    From the readiness check and the evidence to the conversations with your external auditor.

  6. Reports the board can act on

    Technical risk turned into business impact, with clear priorities.

Questions about a virtual CISO

How much of their time do we get?

It depends on your size and goals. We agree a monthly number of days or hours before we start, and you can change it. [CONFIRM: engagement model, days per month]

Is a vCISO enough for ISO 27001 or ENS?

A vCISO leads the work and keeps it on track. Certification also needs your team's time and an independent auditor. We help you plan both.

Can the vCISO answer our clients' security questionnaires?

Yes. Answering client and supplier security questionnaires is part of the role. [CONFIRM: included in scope]

What happens if we have an incident?

Your vCISO coordinates the response with management and the technical teams. [CONFIRM: incident-response availability and terms]
