    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is CISO-as-a-Service?

    When an organization outsources its Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) role to a third-party provider, the latter is said to be delivering CISO-as-a-Service. It is a cost-effective way for organizations to get access to experienced security professionals and develop a robust information security program that meets industry standards and regulations.

    The cost of CISO-as-a-Service can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of your organization, the scope of the CISO's responsibilities, and the level of expertise required. It's important to evaluate your organization's specific needs and budget before choosing a managed cybersecurity service provider.

    A traditional CISO is a full-time, in-house executive, while a virtual CISO (vCISO) offers the same expertise on a part-time, remote, or project basis. A vCISO is ideal for businesses that need strategic security leadership but don’t have the budget or need for a full-time hire.

    A CSO (Chief Security Officer) typically oversees physical security measures, while a CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) focuses on digital security measures. CISO is one of the newest roles on the org chart, and it is tasked with tracking and analyzing risks to keep your data safe. On the other hand, CSO oversees both the physical and digital parts of your firm. They are the gatekeepers to your company's overall stability since they are equipped with the knowledge to identify the appropriate tools.

    • Strategic CISOs- focus on developing security protocols.
    • Technical CISOs- have a strong technical background and focus on implementing and managing security applications.
    • Administrative CISOs- responsible for overseeing security policies and compliance.

    CISO-as-a-Service can make your IT security more efficient by providing expert guidance and support in developing, implementing, and managing your organization's cybersecurity strategy.This service allows you to have access to a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) on a part-time or project basis, who can help you identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, assess risks, develop policies and procedures, and manage security incidents. This approach can help you improve your security posture, reduce the risk of cyber-attacks, and enhance your organization's overall security effectiveness.

    vCISO (Virtual Chief Information Security Officer) services can typically be implemented within 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the provider and the organization's readiness.

    Your business likely needs a vCISO if:

    • A full-time CISO is too costly: Hiring and retaining an in-house CISO can cost upwards of $200,000 annually-an expense many growing businesses can’t justify.
    • Qualified cybersecurity leadership is hard to find: The talent shortage in cybersecurity makes it difficult to source and retain experienced professionals.
    • You're facing increasingly complex threats: Cyberattacks are evolving rapidly. Without expert oversight, your business may lack the agility and insight to respond effectively.
    • You're struggling with compliance requirements: Regulations like HIPAA, NIS2, and DORA demand in-depth knowledge and continuous monitoring-something a vCISO can provide without the overhead of a full-time hire.
    • You lack a strategic security roadmap: If your cybersecurity efforts are reactive or fragmented, a vCISO brings the executive-level guidance needed to build, manage, and evolve a comprehensive security program.
