FAQs

How do I know when I need a vCISO?

vCISO can be a good option for organisations who increasingly require expert cyber expertise but may not need it full time or are budget constrained. vCISOs can be particularly useful around specific projects, if there are interim gaps in leadership or compliance challenges. 

Why should I hire a vCISO instead of an in-house CISO? 

Organisations typically choose a vCISO over an an-house CISO due to the flexibility in scope, requirements, niche skills, and as a cost-effectiveness method to access a team of experts.  

How does a vCISO work with internal team? 

vCISOs will work closely with your internal teams to provide guidance and oversee implementation of key initiatives.   

Can we update the scope of a vCISO depending on what we need?

Yes, we will work with your organisation to define the key outcomes required by the vCISO, which can be adjusted over time. 

Does the vCISO implement the plans? 

The scope of the vCISO can include implementation, but the typical scope of work is to set the objectives, vision, and plan and upskill internal teams on actioning the key plans while providing advisory services during implementation phases.

Is there anything outside of scope for a vCISO? 

We will work with your organisation on what falls out of scope for the vCISO, but are typically open to all areas of cyber security within our expertise.
