Experience and Expertise
vCISOs often bring a wealth of experience, having implemented information security programs for various clients across different vCISO industries & company sizes.This diverse background equips them with a broad skill set that can benefit your organisation.

Consumption-Based Model
vCISOs typically work on a contracted basis, performing tasks based on a predetermined scope of work. This approach ensures that organisations only pay for the specific services, making it a more flexible and cost-effective option.
