What is a virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCSO)?

A vCSO is a part-time or fractional CISO that provides an unbiased, outside perspective and expert guidance on an organization’s cybersecurity posture, program, and strategy. Additionally, vCSOs work with organizations to help them build or improve their security programs to protect their data and reduce risk. They help organizations protect their infrastructure, data, people, and customers from any cyber threats.

This includes:

  • Cybersecurity
  • Physical security
  • Policies & procedures
  • Compliance

vCSOs can also help with incident response planning, threat intelligence, and security awareness training.

Why would an organization need a vCSO?

The vCSO (virtual CISO) is a great solution for mid-sized companies that may not have the internal resources to support a full-time CISO, or for larger organizations that want an unbiased second opinion or additional bandwidth on their cybersecurity program. Hiring a vCSO is a practical replacement for having a full-time CISO in your organization or business. They can tailor the service that your organization direly need. Aside from catering for your unique needs, vCSO offers packages that can fit your organization’s budget.

If you have any questions about vCSO or other aspects of cybersecurity, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at 865-409-1500 or Jonathan directly at Jonathan. addington@jmaddington.com
