Virtual CISO

Flexible & Affordable vCISO Services. CloudSapio’s custom vCISO services adapt to your organization’s cybersecurity and compliance needs and scale as you grow over time.

What is a virtual Chief Information Security Officer?

A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is responsible for developing and maintaining a company’s cybersecurity strategy, including ensuring data asset security, implementing policies, and planning training. A virtual CISO (vCISO) is an outsourced expert who provides all the benefits of an on-premise CISO but without all the costs to hire and train someone full-time.

Additional Information

Companies typically consider hiring a vCISO when they lack in-house cybersecurity expertise, need to assess and reduce their cyber risk, are undergoing rapid digital transformation, or need to comply with evolving security and privacy requirements. Companies of all sizes can benefit from hiring a vCISO. Whether they need guidance or hands-on technical expertise to analyze their threat landscape and create security policies and practices, an enhanced information security program, compliance program, or cybersecurity plan that supports business objectives, or need to comply with evolving security and privacy requirements.

A vCISO, also known as a Virtual CISO or Virtual Chief Information Security Officer, is an experienced cybersecurity expert that supports organizations with security and compliance on a contractual basis. A vCISO provides strategic security strategy and guidance, risk assessment, compliance oversight, and expert-level cybersecurity expertise without the long-term commitment and costs of a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

A Cloudsapio vCISO is your dedicated security resource that assists you in developing and maintaining a compliant and effective infosec program that is unique to your organization and security needs. Your vCISO will advise you on the necessary steps to improve your security posture, and also execute on their own advice within your environment so you can focus on other critical aspects of growing your business.
