Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
The CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is directly responsible for information security within the corporate bodies. In this context, its primary task is to define the strategies necessary to protect company data and technologies. Furthermore, he is responsible for dealing with the training of employees on Cybersecurity and, in parallel, with the definition of the budget allocated to it at an administrative level.
However, this is a figure who, due to the high costs associated with his role and the complex security measures he is required to implement, may not be accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises that do not have a budget specifically dedicated to IT security . For this reason, the figure of the vCISO emerges as a more accessible alternative.
Our Virtual CISO service (vCISO), therefore, offers a solution that allows the outsourcing of this key figure. This approach ensures various benefits, including lower costs, objective reporting provided by third parties, and access to highly qualified personnel who are constantly updated on the latest security trends.
What does vCiso do for your business?
Starting from the main objective of guaranteeing correct protection of information, the specific tasks and responsibilities of the vCISO figure can be divided into the following:
- The definition of a corporate security plan and strategies, closely related to those of the business;
- Carrying out and updating a security risk analysis;
- Support for the definition of the security architecture;
- The definition and adoption of appropriate incident response and management measures;
- The definition and adoption of solutions and models to ensure system availability;
- Support for the design and implementation of development projects, supporting all security aspects; thanks also to the internationally recognized high-level professional certificates/certifications in the field of Project Management (PMP Project Management Professional (PMP)®;
- Addressing aspects of hardening and secure configuration of systems;
- Monitoring the performance of the protection measures;
- Coordination of Security Services;
- Support for the drafting of the documentation required by Reg. UE 2016/679;
- Plan, according to effective models, the activities of first preparation and then evolution of the Information Security Management System (ISMS), ensuring both the coverage of all the aforementioned issues, and the pursuit of immediate improvements, operating on multiple levels of intervention .
Why choose a vCISO?
