Everything a CISO does. Without the full-time salary.
Our vCISO service covers the four core pillars of security leadership: strategy, reporting, governance and compliance, all delivered by experienced practitioners.
Security Strategy & Roadmap
Planning · Budgeting · Risk Framework
We build a multi-year security strategy aligned to your business goals, risk appetite and regulatory obligations. This includes budget planning, a technology roadmap and a maturity assessment against NIST, ISO 27001 and local frameworks.
Key Deliverables
From assessment to security leadership, in 4 steps.
Our vCISO engagement follows a proven methodology that takes you from unknown gaps to a fully governed, audit-ready security program.
Discovery & Maturity Assessment
We begin with a thorough assessment of your current security posture, team capabilities, policy maturity and regulatory standing. This becomes the baseline for everything we do.
Includes interviews with key stakeholders, policy review, control testing and a maturity score against NIST CSF and ISO 27001.
Gap Analysis & Roadmap
We identify every gap between your current state and where you need to be, covering regulatory, technical and organisational dimensions, and build a prioritised remediation roadmap with timelines and budgets.
Roadmap is board-approved, budget-realistic and aligned to your business cycle and regulatory examination schedule.
Execution & Governance
Your vCISO leads the execution, updating policies, implementing controls, mentoring your team and managing vendor relationships. You receive weekly updates and monthly board reports.
Direct access to your vCISO via Slack, email and scheduled calls. No ticket queues and no junior analysts. Senior leadership only.
Continuous Improvement & Audit Support
Security is never finished. We continuously monitor your posture, update policies as regulations change and stand beside you during every audit and examination.
Quarterly maturity reassessments, annual strategy refresh and full audit preparation including evidence collection and mock interviews.
Get CISO-level leadership without the CISO-level price tag.
Book a free 60-minute consultation and we will assess your current security posture, identify your governance gaps and show you exactly how a vCISO would transform your institution's security maturity.
