When a vCISO can benefit your organization?

Ultimately, each business should clearly understand its exposure and tolerance to potential risks. This tolerance must align with the incident response cost and business reputation risks in case of a prospective attack. To make a proper analysis of the probable risks to the organization, a trained and experienced team of professionals should consider the number of servers, integration with third-party vendors, and the company's sensitive data. The virtual CISO could thoroughly calculate the risks from the cybersecurity holes and their potential influence on the company's business.

If your business is lacking the next things, then vCISO is your company's ultimate choice:

Properly thought-out Cyber Security Strategy

Lack of cybersecurity team training and onboarding

Need for remediation excellence and readiness to give a prompt response to the Cyber incidents or breaches

The necessity to remediate recommendations, and analysis through the ongoing audit

Implementation of the latest Cybersecurity standards compliance requirements

Get started

The fusion of unique cybersecurity experience

The vCISO possesses a great deal of knowledge since they have a lot of business and security experience. Having those experiences allows the VCISO to start to work the moment they are hired.

Immediate value delivery

Since the virtual CISOs obtain all the experience mentioned above, they could add up to the company's cybersecurity strategy and guarantee the full coverage of all the cybersecurity functions needed to be covered. It will not be necessary to invest in training or adaptation, reducing the time between contracting and the effective provision of the needed services.

Non-core business focus

Counting on a Virtual CISO, you outsource the management of information security, compliance, and data privacy, freeing your internal teams from concern with these issues. Likewise, your inner IT professionals and other areas can concentrate on the exact demands of the company's business, leaving the infosec functions to be outsourced with complete peace of mind.

Cost reduction

Effortless selection of the suppliers

Virtual CISOs trace the experience of companies that propose services not related to market providers, such as solution manufacturers, complimentary service professionals, and specialists in all areas that will be needed along the way. It saves you from long analysis processes, triage, and assessment to choose the most assertive choices.

Independence of processes

The Virtual CISO is skilled in managing a range of functions and actions – building a security strategy and conforming to the activation of response actions to violations and incidents. Everything is done independently of other operational functions since the focus is on what your company is contracted to execute.

Reducing the risks and knowledge of the competitor's IT security

The vCISO knows the IT security of competitors and can assess the urgent need for improvements implemented in your company. A virtual CISO helps reduce the risk of a cybersecurity incident occurring in your organization. It is always better to set up a suitable IT security program in a "relaxed" situation than in an emergency.

An external perspective for timely measures

Having an interdisciplinary team with specialized knowledge and skills, which increase the possibility of success of the operations, will help you quickly achieve all the cybersecurity objectives. A vCISO can act as an interim CISO and ensure that IT security takes the appropriate measures, bringing an external perspective that often proves being very helpful. A vCISO is a CISO on-demand. He will help your business when you need him. It is not integrated as a permanent position in your company: thus, saves personnel costs.

A full-time CISO is too expensive for an SMB, but smaller organizations still need a mature and effective cybersecurity program. A virtual CISO can work in part-time conditions, crafting a security program fit for your organization by following the enterprise expert guidelines which couldn't be developed without vCISO's participation.

Cyber-spend needs to be constantly re-aligned. The cybersecurity measures developed 6 months ago might not be as effective as a measure of protection after a while. A virtual CISO can analyze the current budget or organization of each size and re-direct it to the weak spots effectively distributing it fully securing all your business-critical assets.

A virtual CISO's specialization consists of assistance in creating a cybersecurity strategy and execution plan that meets the specific security requirements for different business domains. If you need to align the compliance program with certain mandates, then a vCISO can help you create the step-by-step compliance program considering securing the protected information.

If you have decided on hiring a full-time CISO, hiring a part-time vCISO could provide the real business value by helping you find a full-time CISO with a professional inside of what knowledge such a professional should obtain to effectively manage your organization's cybersecurity strategy.

The entertainment industry is a tidbit to the hackers since it has a lot of attractive data from the content yet to be released to the sensitive information of the service subscribers. Сompanies should conduct the regular pentests, finding even the smallest loopholes in cybersecurity so they don't become a glaring tunnel for the breach of client's data. Also, pentest is a necessary step in obtaining the TPN certification.
