vCISO / CISO / vISM
Expert Security Oversight Without the Overhead
Not every organisation needs a full-time Chief Information Security Officer – but every organisation benefits from strategic security leadership. Our vCISO, CISO, and Virtual Information Security Manager (vISM) services provide experienced experts to guide your security posture, align it with business objectives, and give stakeholders confidence that risks are managed proactively.
How It Works
Your dedicated security leader works as an extension of your senior team, providing:
Develop and maintain a clear security roadmap.
Identify, prioritise, and manage cyber risks in line with your appetite.
Communicate clearly with executives and stakeholders.
Ensure frameworks and controls meet standards like ISO 27001, NIS2, and GDPR.
Be prepared to lead incident response when needed.
This flexible service can cover short-term needs (e.g., bridging a leadership gap) or provide ongoing fractional leadership on a part-time basis.
Why It Matters
A vCISO or vISM brings the same expertise and accountability as a permanent hire, but without the commitment of a full-time salary. This helps you manage budgets, meet compliance requirements, and respond faster to regulatory or client demands.
What You Gain
- Cost-effective, senior-level security leadership
- A trusted advisor for your board and execs
- Improved confidence with clients and regulators
- Flexibility to scale hours up or down as needed
Common Questions
A vCISO takes ownership like an in-house leader – they’re responsible for strategy, reporting, and ongoing security health, not just short-term advice.
Absolutely – many clients use our vCISO service to bridge gaps or trial what level of leadership they truly need.
It’s flexible. We agree a package that fits your organisation’s size, goals, and risk profile.
