vCISO FAQs

Everything you need to know about using the vCISO service.

A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is responsible for developing and maintaining a company’s cyber security strategy, including ensuring data asset security, implementing policies, and planning training. A virtual CISO (vCISO) is an outsourced expert who provides all the benefits of an on-premise CISO but without all the costs to hire and train someone full-time.
