What is a virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)?
For organizations that either don’t need or can’t afford a full-time CISO, but still have any one of the following needs:
- Confidential global data, assets, applications, intellectual property, IT, etc. that needs security protection and privacy.
- Lacking a consistent, custom, IT/Security direction, plan for the existing, future global enterprise.
- Lacking confidence in existing or future IT, Cyber Security, Cloud Security, or application security direction.
- Spiraling, exploding IT/Security costs and budget over-runs.
- Need to raise the level of employee, vendor, IT/Security operations productivity and efficiency.
- Lacking IT/Security expertise for C-Level Management: on-site, on-premise.
Fortify Experts can provide the above services at a fraction of what a full-time CSO/CISO costs. Plus, you’re getting even more value because you have access to our security team.
CIO Magazine states the average tenure of a CISO is only 17 months. Investing in a full-time resource may not be the best strategy.
