vCISO Consultancy
What is a vCISO (Virtual CISO)?
A vCISO (Virtual Chief Information Security Officer) is an outsourced security practitioner or provider who offers their time and insight to an organisation on an ongoing basis, usually part-time and remotely.
A vCISO is an individual who has spent years working in the cyber security industry and has a wealth of valuable industry experience and expertise having dealt with a wide variety of scenarios, and consults on the development of an information security strategy and management of an organisation’s information security.
Chief Information Security Officers and Information Security Managers (ISM’s) are highly sought after, and good ones are very hard to come by.
If you’re a start-up or small business our managed service could be the answer to your prayers.
A Virtual CISO can provide your organisation with a cost-effective way of maintaining your information security and managing your risks.
Our vCISO service allows you to concentrate on running and developing your business while we take care of your cyber and information security requirements.
Your vCISO can be on hand when and where you require the assistance to supplement the existing management teams expertise without having to pay for a full time information security resource.

How does our Virtual CISO Managed Service work?
vCISO Tailored Solution
Romano Security Consulting tailor our vCISO consultancy service to fit the individual needs of your business and mitigate the risks that you face as a business.
Scoping
The first stage of the service involves a scoping exercise, so we can get the right level of managed vCISO service to match your business requirements.
Gap Analysis
We then conduct a gap analysis to identify your key risks, threats and vulnerabilities, provide you with a detailed strategic roadmap to assist you in mitigating your risks and we then decide on the number of days a month or year that you require for your vCISO.
Risk Management
We assign you with a highly qualified and experienced consultant who will be your personal vCISO and work with you to mitigate your risks. You can then schedule days as and when you require them to suit the needs of your business.
