Common questions
Something missing? Ask on the consultation call and we will answer it straight.
How is a vCISO different from a full-time CISO?
You get the same seniority and decisions on a part-time basis, at a fraction of the cost. It suits organizations that need leadership but not a full-time executive.
How many hours will we need?
It depends on your size and goals. We agree a monthly allocation after a short assessment, and adjust as your needs change.
Can you work with our IT team?
Yes. We work alongside your IT and engineering teams and set clear ownership for each security task.
