SOC Managed vCiso
Building secure and compliant cybersecurity programs
What is a virtual Chief Information Security Officer?
The vCISO is a security practitioner who uses the culmination of their years of cybersecurity and industry experience to help organisations develop and manage the organisation’s information security program. At a high level, vCISOs help architect the organisation’s security strategy, with some help also to oversee its implementation. Internal Security staff may still exist, either reporting to or working with the vCISO and their team to execute an impactful security program.
Additionally, the vCISO is usually expected to be able to present the organisation’s state of information security to an organisation’s board, executive team, auditors, or regulators. vCISOs can provide value to organisations by helping with a number of aspects of the overall information security program, including:
vCISOs Driving Value and Trust
Information security planning and management activities
Security risk management activities
Organisational and management structure
Evaluation of third parties with access to organisational data
