Virtual CISO · CISSP-led

Security leadership, without a full-time hire.

A growing business often needs senior security direction long before it can justify a full-time Chief Information Security Officer. Our virtual CISO service gives you that leadership on a part-time basis: strategy, risk, compliance and customer assurance, led by a CISSP with over two decades of experience.

When you need it

The questions are getting harder.

Customers now send security questionnaires before they'll sign. Insurers ask detailed questions before they'll quote. Bigger clients push their own security requirements down onto their suppliers. Answering all of this well takes senior security judgement, not just an IT helpdesk.

A virtual CISO gives you someone accountable for security who can speak to your board, your customers and your insurers with equal confidence.

  • You're being asked to prove your security to win or keep contracts
  • You handle sensitive client data and feel the responsibility of it
  • You need a security strategy, not just a list of tools
  • You want board-level assurance without a board-level salary

What's included

Direction, assurance and a steady hand.

Security strategy & roadmap

Identifying, recording and managing the risks that matter to your organisation, in language your board understands.

Customer assurance

We handle the security questionnaires, supplier due-diligence and audit questions that would otherwise land on you.

Compliance direction

How it fits together

The leadership layer above your IT.
