Virtual CISO (vCISO) Advisory Services

Not every organisation can support a full-time head of cyber security (CISO).  

Cyooda's vCISO advisory service provides an experienced and proven cyber security expert (CISO) on a part time basis who can strengthen your defences, help you plan and prepare for cyber attacks and assist with more strategic outcomes.

What is a Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)

It's hard to find and keep good security professionals and many growing businesses can't justify the expense of hiring a full time CISO.

A Virtual CISO is a highly experienced cybersecurity expert who works with organisations on a part-time or contract basis to provide strategic direction and lead cybersecurity efforts. Unlike a full-time CISO, a Virtual Chief Information Security Officer offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness by allowing your business to access a top-tier cybersecurity expert without the commitment and overhead of a full-time executive.
