Today, many companies are being asked by their customers, insurance carriers, risk auditors, and others if they have a chief information security officer (CISO), responsible for cybersecurity risk, on staff. If an organization doesn’t have the capacity to support this initiative internally or cannot financially justify a full-time resource to fill this need, they may look to managed security service providers like Avalon Cyber to step into a role known as a virtual chief information security officer (vCISO).
At Avalon Cyber, this hybrid approach includes a block of hours every month in which our security management experts become an extension of your team and provide support by overseeing the design, development, and integration of your cybersecurity program.
By using a vCISO, you can still meet this common security requirement, take advantage of our guidance and expertise, and save on the hard costs associated with an internal position. We will work with your management team, board, and any additional stakeholders to develop the strategic vision, resources, and protocols required to maintain and mature an appropriate and effective security program for your business.
