Not every company needs, or can afford, a full-time Chief Information Security Officer. I give growing SaaS companies executive-level security leadership on a flexible basis.
Weighing a vCISO against an MSP platform or a big-firm advisory? The buyer’s guide walks through how to choose.
The vCISO Journey #
Every vCISO engagement follows a clear three-phase approach:
1. Risk Assessment: I start by identifying and evaluating your security risks. I map your threat landscape and prioritize risks so you know exactly where to focus.
2. Security Roadmap: Assessment findings become a clear, prioritized plan aligned with your business goals, budget, and timeline. A concrete path from current state to target security posture.
3. Security Program Guidance: Ongoing executive-level security leadership. From policy development to team mentoring, the strategic guidance you need to build and maintain a mature program.
What’s Included #
- Security strategy and roadmap: define your security vision and build a multi-year plan aligned with business goals
- Governance and policy development: establish security policies, standards, and procedures
- Risk management: ongoing identification, assessment, and treatment of security risks
- Vendor and third-party risk management: evaluate and monitor the security posture of your partners and suppliers
- Incident response planning: build incident-response plans, conduct tabletop exercises, and provide guidance during active incidents
