Leadership

Taking the lead on all things Cyber Security. Your V-CISO will own your Cyber Security strategy and provide regular updates as to how the organisation is progressing.

Cost Effective

OCiSO's goal is to ensure that all client organisations have access to high-calibre Cyber Security expertise. Our business model is designed to deliver a cost-effective service.

Flexibility

Scale-up,  or scale down your Cyber Security and Data Security expertise as and when needed via our flexible contract structure. 

​Our Virtual CISO Goal:

 

To provide our clients with effective, experienced Chief Information Security Officer support within their organisation.

​

"43% of SMEs lack any type of Cybersecurity defence plans and the person in charge of Cyber Security feel ill-equipped to manage the role without the right resources or capacity to do anything about it."

​

We all have a digital life and Data is everywhere - People and Businesses worldwide are creating and consuming more and more in this Information Age.

​

As a result, Data has become the most valuable asset to the majority of companies of all sizes and securing sensitive information has become law, supported by serious financial, civil, criminal and reputational consequences for those responsible for Data breaches.

​

Constant and dynamic cyber threats have penetrated some of the largest establishments (Governments, Multinational organisations, etc) and it has become commonplace for many to employ a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to lead and manage a full security strategy. 

​

Why Hire OCiSO?

​

Let's start with the bottom line:

 

A well trained, full time, senior CISO would cost an average of £100,000 (according to Payscale).

 

In contrast, OCiSO allows your business to access highly experienced specialists for a low monthly fee.

 

This offers flexibility and scalability, whilst cutting out headcount costs.

 

In addition, our unique and independent perspective provides objectivity and eliminates potential conflicts of interest.

​

OCISO's Methodology

​

OCiSO build a tailored schedule of activities, roles and responsibilities in the following areas:

  • Cyber Risk and Cyber Intelligence

  • Data Loss and Fraud Prevention

  • Security architecture

  • Identity and Access management

  • Program management

  • Investigations and forensics

  • Governance

​

What are the benefits of a Virtual Chief Information Security Officer?

​​

  • Cost-Effective: a Virtual or Remote CISO is more cost-effective where a full-time role cannot be justified.
     

  • Focused: a Virtual CISO is fully focused on the security of information in the organisation; rather than a member of staff who is multitasking security obligations at the same time as their other obligations.
     

  • Flexibility: paid by a set amount of time the Virtual CISO can vary their involvement month to month, depending on the business’s requirements. E.g. for short-term needs of a new project that has a particular requirement for security input.
     

  • Knowledge: the Virtual CISO is both accredited, experienced and working with a range of organisations in different market sectors. It is our V-CISOs' duty to keep in touch with developments in each industry. 
     

  • Independent Advisors: Virtual CISOs carry out unbiased and impartial advice. As an external resource, our Virtual CISO will always endeavour to provide honest reports whether the advice is positive or negative.

 

We guarantee an improvement in OUR CLIENTS' Information Security defenCe every month.
