vCISO - Breaking Down the Role

A cybersecurity assessment is a core business practice that enables organizations to take an objective look at the issues facing their cybersecurity posture. These assessments are performed by certified auditors. The auditors work with leadership to determine the risks, policies, controls, and all other components surrounding cybersecurity. Our team identifies and quantifies risks within the organization, enabling leadership to better make strategic decisions. Our custom assessments enable decision-makers to truly obtain a holistic overview of the entire organization's cybersecurity health.

Why Would Your Organization Need a vCISO?

Our industry-leading holistic methodology includes the following components to a cybersecurity assessment:

Outsourced, Affordable Expertise:

Our specialized auditing team performs a comprehensive infrastructure analysis. We employ specialized solutions that monitor information about the environment. This stage of the assessment includes a thorough review of cybersecurity aspects such as infrastructure, business processes, policies, and security controls.

Strategic Planning and Roadmapping:

A core part of our evaluation process is to get feedback from those who matter. We conduct professional interviews on core executives and stakeholders. This flexible process is fully open to customization and compatible with any organization's culture, mission, operations, and priorities. These invaluable interviews help to establish important information regarding cybersecurity's interaction with other components of the organization.

Limitless Resources:

All this data is far less useful without an experienced guide to walk leadership through findings and reports. ISACA-certified auditors will personally deliver all reporting and results via virtual or in-person consultation engagements. This comprehensive overview is a great jumping point for further discussion and decision making.
