Duke IT Virtual CISO (vCISO) Service

According to ISACA’s State of Cyber Security 2019, 72% of organizations have a chief information security officer (CISO). Also, in that study, only 55% of organizations have an increased security budget. For many small and mid-sized organizations, budgets are already tight, and hiring a full-time CISO may seem like a luxury.

So how does an organization that either does not have or is cutting back on security budgets make sure that it has executive leadership that is focused on information security? One way is to hire a virtual CISO (vCISO), also known as an on-demand CISO.

FAQ’s

Solution to you from our professional expert

What is a vCISO?
A vCISO is no different than a full-time chief information security officer except a virtual chief information security officer (vCISO) is an outsourced senior-level security executive who is responsible for the strategic development and implementation of information security programs. Included in vCISO services is a supporting team of information security professionals who help implement the vCISO cybersecurity vision. Our team of experts has decades of experience; building information security programs that work with business objectives and show measurable improvement to security posture.

The vCISO team is responsible for structuring policies and procedures to align with company culture, risk tolerance, and compliance requirements. A tailored approach is integral in the creation of an effective security program. Most vCISO engagements begin with an IT risk assessment, which identifies areas of needed improvement and helps set priorities for the security program. Once deficiencies are identified, a remediation plan is generated to begin addressing security gaps. After remediation is complete, we reassess, help present the findings to executive leadership, and repeat the steps.

Why does the Virtual CISO (vCISO) service exist?
The demand for vCISO services has grown rapidly over the past few years. As information security threats increase and businesses remain the primary target, the demand for security professionals will continue to rise. The employment gap between the demand for security professionals and its supply is widening. This drives a competitive market for security professionals and places a major burden on companies seeking to staff for their cybersecurity needs.

This is where a vCISO offers its value. Virtual CISO services provide organizations that would otherwise not be able to hire a qualified security candidate the ability to work with an experienced CISO and security team, without increasing their organization’s headcount. Many organizations do not need a full-time CISO, they need an independent security professional to lead their organization by assessing cybersecurity issues, building a cybersecurity program, and ensuring the achievement of proper security milestones.

What types of businesses are using vCISO?
There are organizations of all sizes in various industries that are benefiting from vCISO services. For example, at Technivorus we work with businesses in healthcare, manufacturing, technology, analytics, printing, marketing, insurance, retail, and finance. Regardless of the industry, technology plays a major role in operating a business, and with technology comes security risk.

Each business is unique, and every organization handles risk differently. However, the approach is the same with every organization. First, a vCISO helps an organization understand its risk, and second, the vCISO helps organizations make the appropriate security decisions to align with business objectives.

Why do you need a vCiso?
Companies without an internal, dedicated cybersecurity leader should hire a virtual chief information officer. Virtual CISO advisory services are crucial for assisting in thinking strategically about information security practices, policies, and procedures and providing a realistic blueprint to stay protected.

Your virtual CISO team will get to know your company inside and out, dig into your present information security rules, and develop solutions specific to your needs. The fact that your virtual CISO team will be ready at a moment’s notice in the case of a threat or breach detection makes virtual CISO advisory services so effective.
