Virtual CISO (vCISO)
Senior security leadership for organisations that need the role, not the salary.
Regulators increasingly expect a named owner for cyber risk. NCA ECC and SAMA CSF both push governance responsibility onto a defined function, and most mid-market organisations cannot justify a full-time CISO to satisfy it. A virtual CISO gives you that ownership as an agreed number of days per month: someone senior who runs the risk register, owns the control roadmap, prepares the board pack and fronts conversations with auditors and regulators.
Included in this service
Risk register you can defend
A live, owned risk register with treatment decisions recorded, rather than a spreadsheet refreshed the week before an audit.
Board and executive reporting
A recurring board pack that translates technical posture into risk, spend and decisions leadership can act on.
Control roadmap
A prioritised, costed roadmap against the frameworks that apply to you, sequenced by risk rather than by chapter order.
Regulator and auditor liaison
We front audit questions, evidence requests and regulator correspondence, and prepare your team for the ones we cannot answer for you.
A clear path from problem to outcome
The same disciplined cycle every time, so you always know what is happening next.
Baseline
We assess current posture, governance maturity and which frameworks genuinely apply to you.
Agree the mandate
We fix the day commitment, decision rights, reporting lines and what the vCISO owns versus advises on.
Run the function
Risk register, roadmap, policy and board reporting run on a regular cadence, not as one-off deliverables.
Mature and hand over
As your capability grows we shift toward advisory, and support hiring and onboarding a permanent CISO when that is the right move.
