How do I know if my business needs a vCISO?
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.
