SKILL UP WITHOUT THE HEADCOUNT

It’s time to share the load with a trusted team

This program follows a repeatable five-step process, including scoping, discovery, prioritisation, validation, and mobilisation, to ensure consistent and efficient security outcomes.
Cyber Security Awareness Training (CSAT)

Resource Utilisation
With an eCISO™ or vCISO shouldering your security planning and reporting responsibilities, you and your team are free to focus on more strategic activities instead of putting out fires. Our CISO resources can recruit, train and mentor members of your IT and compliance teams to ensure proper security principles are being implemented and maintained across your organisation.
An eCISO™ or vCISO can also help set security strategies, procure solutions, remediate incidents, and put foundations in place for your compliance needs. They may also assist with bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy and enforcement as well as managing your board-level responsibilities.
Is your business compliant?
If you’re not 100% sure of your compliance position, then you could benefit from eCISO™ and vCISO services. There are laws in place that make directors personally liable if their organisation doesn’t meet its compliance requirements, so you need to pay careful attention to ensure these obligations are met. Being compliant takes considerable effort to implement policies and continuously update your systems requiring a security expert with extensive IT security experience.
Do you have a security plan?
Without an active security plan that is regularly updated to address developing threats, you are putting yourself and your business at risk. Your security planning for people, process and technology must be relevant to your business and regularly updated.
