Outsource the management of your cyber security.

We guarantee expert and proactive management, protecting your company from threats and vulnerabilities.

Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

The CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is directly responsible for information security within the corporate bodies. In this context, its primary task is to define the strategies necessary to protect company data and technologies. Furthermore, he is responsible for dealing with the training of employees on Cybersecurity and, in parallel, with the definition of the budget allocated to it at an administrative level.

However, this is a figure who, due to the high costs associated with his role and the complex security measures he is required to implement, may not be accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises that do not have a budget specifically dedicated to IT security . For this reason, the figure of the vCISO emerges as a more accessible alternative.

Our Virtual CISO service (vCISO), therefore, offers a solution that allows the outsourcing of this key figure. This approach ensures various benefits, including lower costs, objective reporting provided by third parties, and access to highly qualified personnel who are constantly updated on the latest security trends.

What does vCiso do for your business?

Starting from the main objective of guaranteeing correct protection of information, the specific tasks and responsibilities of the vCISO figure can be divided into the following:
