                     How to Know If Your Business Need The Helping Hand Of A Virtual CISO
• Virtual CISO (vCISO) is a relatively new role that is being established by organizations 
due to the number of remote workers on whom security and privacy responsibilities are 
required. Virtual CISO, who is not a traditional employee of the organization but works 
remotely and/or on limited hours, is fully responsible for ensuring ethical and legal 
security policies are followed, asset protection and disaster recovery strategies are in 
place, employees’ and partners’ data privacy is maintained using encryption tools, and 
vulnerability management security is given more importance.
Responsibilities Of A Virtual CISO:
• If you’re planning to shift to a vCISO from a full-time CISO or looking to appoint an 
information security officer for the first time, take these responsibilities of a Virtual 
CISO into consideration:
Rework the existing strategies:
• Whether you’re replacing your Chief Information Security Officer with a virtual one 
or employing the services for the first time, a knowledgeable virtual CISO can offer 
useful insights in reassessing the present cybersecurity strategies.
Build a competent cybersecurity program for smaller companies:
• SMBs can’t often afford to appoint a full-time chief information security officer. A 
virtual CISO does the job and works part-time to offer an established cybersecurity 
program that’d otherwise not be feasible for the business to come up with.
Creating the right budget:
• A well-planned budget is capable of extending the flexibility of an organization and 
get rid of unwanted restrictions. A vCISO can aid companies of every size by 
modifying their present budget and find more ways to proficiently spend it and 
develop a more secure program.
Does your organization require a vCISO?
• Now that you understand the responsibilities and the advantages that a vCISO brings 
to the table, here’s a checklist to see if a virtual CISO is a good fit for your 
organization.
