Virtual CISO
Experienced security leadership that owns your program, reports to your board and makes the hard calls, part-time or interim, for as long as you need it.
Is this you?
- Security currently belongs to whoever runs IT.
- Your board, investors or customers want to know who is accountable for security.
- Your CISO has left and you need continuity while you hire.
- Your security team needs a leader, not another tool.
What you get
- A security strategy and roadmap tied to your business objectives
- Board and executive reporting in plain language
- Ownership of compliance programs such as CMMC, SOC 2 and NIST CSF
- Budget planning and vendor decisions
- Policies, a risk register and an incident response plan, kept current
- Cyber BAMCIS training so your leaders plan and decide the same way under pressure
How it works
-
Step 1: Learn
Understand your business, your risks and the program you have today.
-
Step 2: Plan
A near-term plan and a longer roadmap your leadership signs off on.
-
Step 3: Lead
Run the program: decisions, reporting and accountability.
-
Step 4: Hand off
Transition to a full-time CISO when you are ready, or keep us on.
Every step follows Cyber BAMCIS, our planning method.
