MANY ORGANISATIONS DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENTLY STAFFED SECURITY TEAMS
Keeping an organisation secure is a full-time job, and it takes a team of qualified people
It’s time to get the experts in.
SKILL UP WITHOUT THE HEADCOUNT
A CISO has to stay across so many different aspects of cybersecurity.
It’s time to share the load with a trusted team
GET THE ASSURANCE YOU NEED
It’s hard to do cybersecurity well, and it’s hard to know if you’re doing it right;
It’s time to get some independent assurance.
WHO CAN AFFORD A FULLTIME CISO ANYWAY?
CISOs are in high demand, making them hard to find and difficult to recruit. Even a full-time CISO can benefit from our eCISO™ and vCISO services.

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.
