Senior cyber security guidance, shaped around your organisation
A virtual CISO gives your organisation regular access to senior cyber security leadership. It is useful when security has become important to customers, suppliers, insurers or leadership teams, but you need a flexible arrangement rather than another permanent senior role.
Be Secure Cyber provides vCISO support to help you understand risk, make better security decisions and build a realistic improvement plan.
Who vCISO support is for
Our vCISO service is designed for organisations that:
- need regular security guidance on a flexible basis;
- are responding to customer, supplier or tender assurance requirements;
- need a more structured cyber security roadmap;
- need leadership-level reporting on security risk and progress;
- are preparing for certification or external review;
- want to improve governance without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
What we can help with
Typical vCISO activities include:
- security strategy and roadmap development;
- risk register review and prioritisation;
- policy, governance and control improvement;
- board or leadership reporting;
- supplier and customer assurance support;
- Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus and IASME planning;
- oversight of vulnerability, cloud and infrastructure security work;
- incident readiness and improvement planning.
How the arrangement works
A vCISO engagement can be structured around a focused project, a monthly advisory arrangement, or a wider security improvement programme. The right model depends on your current maturity, the pressure you are under and the pace at which you want to improve.
The aim is to give you enough senior guidance to make good decisions, without adding unnecessary process or cost.
