Virtual CISO Services
Executive-level security leadership, without the cost of a full-time hire. I step in as your outsourced Chief Information Security Officer to build the program, manage the risk, and speak for security at the leadership table.
What We Offer
-
I evaluate your current security posture, identify gaps and priorities, and build a practical roadmap that fits your risk profile and budget.
-
I write and maintain security policy, support compliance efforts, and run regular reviews of who has access to what — including hands-on work with tools like BeyondTrust Password Safe and SailPoint IdentityNow.
-
I build and test incident response plans so your team knows exactly what to do before something goes wrong — and I’m available to help lead the response if it does.
-
I translate security and technology risk into plain language for owners, executives, and boards — so security has a seat at the table, not just a line item in the budget.
Ways to Work Together
-
Strategic guidance without a daily time commitment: monthly strategy sessions, policy and program review, and support preparing for board or leadership conversations. A good fit if you have some internal security capability and need executive-level oversight.
-
Ongoing, hands-on security leadership. Regular weekly hours, available for incident response, vendor evaluations, and day-to-day program management — essentially your outsourced CISO.
-
A defined-scope engagement: a risk assessment, a policy overhaul, prep for a specific compliance framework (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS), or an access review. Clear start and end dates.
Common Questions
-
A full-time executive hire is a major salary and benefits commitment most growing organizations aren’t ready for. A vCISO gives you the same strategic leadership at a fraction of the cost, scaled to what you actually need.
-
Depends on the engagement, but the goal is to reduce burden, not add to it — I integrate with your existing team rather than asking them to manage a new vendor relationship.
-
No. Engagements range from a single project to an ongoing retainer, and can flex as your needs change.
-
Yes — I’m often brought in specifically to complement an existing internal team or MSP, not replace one.
-
That’s what the project-based option is for — we scope the engagement around that one goal. Your information stays confidential throughout, and I’m happy to sign an NDA before any detailed discussion.
