Decided by someone who has decided before. A vCISO gives you the security leadership of a full-time hire, for the days a month you actually need.
- A named consultant who owns the work, not a rota
- Strategy, policy and risk decided rather than advised on
- In the room for your board, your auditor and your insurer
What a CISO does that an advisor does not
Where the business is going
A security strategy shaped around your plans: the acquisition, the new market, the migration. Not a generic maturity curve.
Governance that gets used
Policies short enough to read and specific enough to settle an argument, with a risk register kept current between audits.
The conversations that need a title
Board papers, customer security reviews, auditors and insurers. Conversations that go better with a named CISO answering.
The moments you are buying this for
- The customer security questionnaire
- Two hundred lines from a prospect’s procurement team, holding up the contract. Answered accurately, in one pass, by someone who has done it before.
- The board paper
- Four slides that say where the risk sits without frightening the room or reassuring it falsely. And that survive the question after.
- The insurer’s renewal form
- The cyber policy asks what controls you operate. The answers decide the premium and whether a future claim is paid. Getting one wrong is a coverage problem.
- The breach you have to report
- NIS2 gives you twenty-four hours for the early warning. That is not the hour to work out who signs it and what may safely be said.
- The acquisition
- Due diligence in both directions: what you buy along with the company, and what a buyer finds when they look at you.
- The auditor’s finding
- A nonconformity with a date on it. Somebody decides whether to fix it, argue it or accept the risk in writing. And owns that choice.
- The tool nobody needs
- A renewal quote for a platform bought two years ago and half deployed. Dropping it is worth more than most projects.
How it works
Assess
Your current posture, your live obligations, and the risks you already carry, written down or not.
Define
A strategy and roadmap agreed with your leadership, with the trade-offs stated plainly rather than buried in a score.
Run it
Ongoing governance - policy, risk decisions, vendor choices and reporting - on a fixed number of days each month.
What you get
A named consultant, a roadmap you agreed to, and a risk register that is current
One person who knows your business and is in the room when it matters. Not a rota and not a mailbox. A roadmap your leadership signed off, with the trade-offs written down. And a risk register kept between audits, so the answer exists the day somebody asks.
