What is vCISO?

A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is a highly experienced cybersecurity professional who functions as your organisation’s security leader on a part-time, remote, or contract basis. The vCISO works closely with management and technical teams to define strategic security goals, design governance frameworks, and oversee compliance, risk management, and incident response efforts.

ISECURION’s vCISO team acts as an extension of your organisation - offering the same depth of knowledge, strategic insight, and leadership as an in-house CISO, but with flexible engagement models and cost efficiency.
