What is a vCISO?

Senior Security Leadership, On Demand

A virtual CISO gives you executive-level security leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. We act as an extension of your leadership team, owning strategy, running your security programme, and translating risk into language the board understands.

It suits product, e-commerce, and digital-native companies, scale-ups, and any business that needs a senior security leader accountable to leadership but can't yet justify a full-time hire.

Methodology

How We Build Your Programme

01

Discovery

We assess your current security programme, governance, and risk exposure to set a clear baseline.

02

Strategise

We build a prioritised roadmap aligned to your business objectives, risk tolerance, and target frameworks.

03

Strengthen

We implement the policies, controls, and processes, running the programme and reducing risk as we go.

04

Monitor

Regular reporting so leadership always knows where things stand, what's improving, and what needs attention.

What We Lead

Your Security Programme, Led End to End

From board-level strategy to the day-to-day work that sits beneath it, the security programme and the leadership to run it, without handing you between separate providers.

Security Strategy & Roadmap

We define a security strategy aligned to your business objectives, risk appetite, and regulatory context, and build a prioritised roadmap your leadership can act on.

Programme Design & Build

We build a cybersecurity programme from the ground up, governance, control libraries, and processes that are scalable and auditable to an agreed target maturity.

Policy & Procedure Suite

Clear, enforceable policies from acceptable use through incident response, written to meet ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, and your sector's requirements.

Security Awareness Training

Targeted, practical, and measurable awareness training, phishing, social engineering, and data hygiene, built to raise the whole organisation's baseline.

Compliance & Audit Oversight

We run your compliance programme across the relevant frameworks and lead audit preparation and external auditor engagement on your behalf.

Board & Vendor Reporting

Board-ready reports that translate technical risk into business language, plus vendor security reviews and third-party risk scoring.

Engagement

What an Ongoing vCISO Relationship Looks Like

A clear, structured arc from first engagement to ongoing advisory, built to deliver and mature your programme step by step.

01

Set Up

A defined engagement, agreed scope, cadence, and reporting lines, so everyone knows what the vCISO owns and when.

02

Day to Day

Regular working sessions with your team and a standing line to a senior practitioner between them, not a quarterly check-in.

03

Reporting

Board and leadership reporting on a regular cadence, in business language, so security stays visible at the top.

04

Ongoing

As new threats, projects, and decisions come up, you have a security leader already familiar with your environment to call on.
