What does a Virtual Chief Information Security Officer actually do?

The leading purpose of a Virtual CISO is to provide an evaluation of an organization’s security program and develop a guide based on the findings. This begins with a comprehensive assessment of the security program to pinpoint specific strengths and weaknesses. The vCISO collaborates directly with the leadership to better understand the company’s needs and helps provide attainable goals. They partner with the organization’s stakeholders to train employees as well as make improvements operationally with security, protection, and efficiency in mind. After systems are established, the vCISO serves as an advisor if challenges ever arise.
