CISO Support Services

CISO Support

CISO Support services provide fractional time access to industry leading experts at a reasonable cost to support your organization’s security program. CISO support can range from top level executive support to focused topical support based on your organization’s needs.

Medium to large businesses may require supplemental support for their executive leadership on cybersecurity topics. CISO support provides the services of a top-tier professional to supplement and support your full time staff at greatly reduced cost from the expense of hiring additional full time staff.

Medium to larger businesses may have a full time CISO but may not have the on-staff expertise or capacity to develop and operate elements of their cybersecurity program at the maturity they desire. Leveraging fractional time access to top-tier expertise allows organizations to focus their full time staff on ongoing needs while supporting new initiatives or special projects.

How It Works

The CISO support role integrates seamlessly with your existing corporate team and structure and will directly support the organization’s CISO with expertise that supplements full time staff. The role can support some or all of the typical CISO roles in an organization. CISO support is more engaged than consultants and helps you maintain a level of continuity with the organization.

A business that acquires CISO support services will receive a defined commitment from an industry leading professional to support the defined needs. The defined commitment may be modified over time (increased or reduced) based on changing needs of the company.

Value

Whether engaging CISO services for long term continuity with on-demand surge support, or to support a new initiative that requires external knowledge and expertise, CISO support services enhance the capability of your existing organization at a reasonable cost.
