Overview

vCISO Partner, LLC, launched in 2019 to combat the growing threat of cyber-attacks to small and midsized businesses with part-time seasoned executive information security expertise at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Every company needs cyber security leadership, even if they don’t know it yet. What is a vCISO? The virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) provides your organization with a certified, experienced expert to assist you in all aspect’s cybersecurity. The vCISO reviews your security framework, practices and procedures; the security products you have in place; conducts penetration testing to see where any gaps in your security may lie and checks if there are any lurkers in your current network. Part of this evaluation includes an interview of the executive staff. This investigative interview covers concepts such as vendor management, project management, financial management, IT risk management, and system security. This begins a Partnership, where we walk hand in hand with you to build a successful information security program that is the right fit for your needs. After the full assessment, the vCISO creates a full report for you using NIST cybersecurity guidelines to outline what you are currently doing well, and where there are gaps in your security framework and policy. If you are missing any necessary items for specific compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOX, PCI, etc.), our vCISO provides you with a plan to move forward in fixing any of the items that are currently missing. In the event that you experience a security incident, our team of experts will provide expert guidance and suggest next steps for your organization. The CIO is advised on any ongoing projects and if any security issues arise. Want to learn more about our vCISO offerings? Please contact Joel Lowe at mrjoellowe@gmail.com
