SERVICE DEEP DIVE

vCISO / Fractional CISO

Enterprise-grade security leadership — without the enterprise price tag. Our CISSP and CISM certified vCISO service gives your organisation a seasoned security executive to own your strategy, governance, and risk programme on a flexible retainer.

STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP

What It Does

Most SMBs can't justify a full-time Chief Information Security Officer — but they still face the same threats, compliance expectations, and board questions as organisations that do. Our vCISO service fills that gap with a dedicated security executive who becomes an embedded part of your leadership team.

From developing your security roadmap and owning your risk register, to presenting to the board and guiding your team through compliance programmes, your fractional CISO brings the strategic depth you need without the full-time overhead. Every engagement is anchored by CISSP and CISM certified professionals with experience across financial and technology sectors.

Security Roadmap

A prioritised, practical security programme aligned to your business risk and growth stage.

Policy Development

Security policies, procedures, and standards written for your organisation — not copied from a template.

Board Reporting

Clear, business-focused security reporting for leadership, boards, and audit committees.

Risk Governance

Ongoing risk register management, vendor risk oversight, and treatment tracking.

Key Features

Flexible Retainer Model

Engage on a monthly or quarterly retainer sized to your needs — from a few focused hours per week to a near-full-time commitment. Scale up or down as your programme matures.

Compliance Alignment

We align your programme to the frameworks that matter to your customers and insurers — NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, SOC 2, and more — and help you build the evidence to prove it.

Built-In Upsell Protection

Your vCISO is independent of vendor relationships, so every recommendation is made in your best interest — whether that means deploying CS CyberEdge tools or guiding you to the right third-party solution.

Who It's For

SMBs Without a CISO

Organisations that need strategic security leadership but aren't ready for — or can't justify — a full-time hire.

Scale-Ups & Growth Companies

Fast-growing companies preparing for enterprise customer due diligence, SOC 2 certification, or ISO 27001 accreditation.

Regulated Industries

Finance, healthcare, and professional services organisations with compliance obligations that demand executive-level security ownership.
