Why a vCISO
Security needs an owner. It doesn’t need to be a full-time hire.
NIS2 makes management accountable for cybersecurity, clients ask harder questions and threats keep evolving. Yet most mid-sized companies cannot justify — or find — a full-time CISO. CISO as a Service gives you that expertise with the flexibility your business needs.
- A senior expert accountable for your security programme
- Board-ready reporting on risk, compliance and progress
- Faster answers to client security questionnaires and audits
- Access to a full team: pentesters, auditors and AI governance specialists

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is CISO as a Service?
It is an outsourced, part-time Chief Information Security Officer. An experienced security leader works with your company a set number of days per month and takes ownership of your security strategy, risk management and compliance.
How much does a virtual CISO cost compared with a full-time CISO?
You pay only for the time you need, typically a few days per month, which is a fraction of the salary and on-costs of a full-time senior executive. We agree a monthly fee after the onboarding assessment.
Can a vCISO help us with NIS2?
Yes. NIS2 requires management to approve and oversee cybersecurity measures. A vCISO structures that governance, implements the measures and reports to the board.
Do you work with our internal IT team or provider?
Yes. The vCISO sets direction and priorities and works alongside your IT team or managed service provider, who keep running day-to-day operations.
