In today's digital age, cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and damaging to businesses of all sizes. As a responsible organisation, you understand the importance of safeguarding sensitive data, protecting your reputation, and complying with regulatory requirements.
That's where we come in! Our team of expert Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) provides comprehensive cybersecurity and compliance services tailored to your unique needs. With our expertise, you can rest assured that your organisation is protected from the ever-growing threats of cyber attacks.
Hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) can be a significant financial challenge for small and midsize businesses. With total compensation often ranging from £161,052.94 to £260,999.38 per year, many organisations simply cannot justify the expense. However, cybersecurity threats continue to grow, and without proper leadership, companies risk exposing themselves to severe financial and reputational damage.
A Virtual CISO (vCISO) provides an affordable and effective alternative, delivering expert security leadership tailored to your organisation’s needs—without the cost of a full-time executive.
65% of small and medium-sized businesses and enterprises have experienced a cyberattack in the last year. Regulatory demands and cyber insurance requirements have never been more stringent. In today’s climate, strategic cybersecurity and compliance management is a necessity, not a luxury.
Through a series of questionnaires and scans that we perform on your environment, we create a full assessment and gap analysis of your current risk level and cyber posture, compared to industry benchmarks
We create and execute a cybersecurity plan to bring your organisation to the desired level of protection and compliance. It includes tailor-made security policies and actionable, prioritised remediation tasks.
We manage the ongoing execution and optimisation of the cybersecurity plan – monitoring, scanning, and making changes or tweaks where necessary. This leaves you to focus on your core business, knowing that your digital security is in good hands
We deliver in-depth status and progress reports, showing your current security posture, improvement trends, compliance gaps and comparison with industry benchmarks, to reflect your current security posture, progress and remaining gaps.
Don't let cyber threats hold you back from achieving your business goals. Contact us today to learn more about our expert cybersecurity and compliance services and take the first step towards protecting your organisation with confidence.
In today's digital landscape, regulatory demands and cyber insurance requirements have never been more stringent. With our vCISO services, you can benefit from:
Some organisations dismiss the need for a CISO with common rationalisations, but these arguments don’t hold up under scrutiny:
🚫 “We’re not regulated, so we don’t need a CISO.”
✅ Even if you’re not bound by compliance requirements, you still face security risks that could impact business continuity and reputation. A vCISO helps implement security best practices, reducing your exposure.
🚫 “We’re too small to be a target.”
✅ Cybercriminals don’t discriminate—ransomware and phishing attacks increasingly target small businesses. If your business is connected to suppliers or partners, a breach in your systems could affect the entire ecosystem.
🚫 “We don’t have anything worth stealing.”
✅ If you have customers, employees, or business data, you have something valuable. Even small companies store sensitive financial and operational information that attackers can exploit.
🚫 “We can’t afford a CISO, so we’ll assign security to our IT team.”
✅ While IT engineers and administrators excel at managing technology, they aren’t trained to handle strategic security leadership. A vCISO ensures a structured, long-term approach to cybersecurity, rather than reactive, ad-hoc fixes.
A vCISO brings expertise, strategic oversight, and cost-effective security leadership, helping your organisation transition from a reactive to a proactive cybersecurity posture.
By outsourcing CISO responsibilities, your company gains the benefits of high-level security leadership without the overhead costs, ensuring that your business remains protected, compliant, and prepared for emerging threats.
