Fox Red Risk
The Cyber Security and Data Protection Consultancy
A Virtual CISO is a managed security service for those organisations that don’t have the headroom to employ a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). A vCISO provides strategic information security leadership and guidance to an organisation in the form of a service contract.
In the current climate where security breaches are hitting the headlines on a near-daily basis, and with the requirements of GDPR, Boards and senior management need to have assurance their organisation has mitigated its information security risks.
A virtual CISO managed security service model can be surprisingly cost-efficient as compared to an in-house model – even at scale. The key benefits are on-tap expertise, paying only for what you need and reduced information security risk. A vCISO service can also be a good option should you already know you have very little in place and want to get compliant very quickly.
We keep costs low by using a network of expert information security consultants which can expand and contract with demand. We then pass those savings on to you. If you are looking for specific expertise we have consultants with specialist knowledge and expertise in the domains of:
