A traditional CISO is a senior-level employee in an organization that is responsible for developing, implementing, and managing the organization&#8217;s security program. A vCISO would have the same job duties and responsibilities, however, would not be a regular full-time employee of the organization.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How can a vCISO help your business?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Many organizations are finding that having a strong security program is a critical element of being able to run a successful and efficient business. Here are some ways a vCISO can be an asset to your organization:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Development of a security program, including policies and procedures<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Security planning, management, and budgeting<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Risk management<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Preparing for compliance and regulatory audits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Why are organizations opting to use a vCISO?<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost \u2013 Oftentimes organizations may not have the need or budget to hire an in-house CISO. A vCISO is a great way to get the services of a CISO, while not paying the premium of a traditional CISO. An organization can also control the cost they are paying for the vCISO by having a defined scope of work or services to be performed.<\/li>\n<li>Experience \u2013 A vCISO may also have the benefit of working for many organizations, operating in many different industries. Having the experience of operating in different environments can be a great benefit to your organization.<\/li>\n<li>Broader candidate base \u2013 Since a vCISO can operate from virtually anywhere, an organization is not limited to trying to find a candidate for the position in the local area of the organization. This gives an organization the benefit of potentially having many more candidates for the job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12572,"template":"","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[379],"glossaries":[377],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>vCISO - TSI Support<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"vCISO - TSI Support\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"What is a vCISO?
