About the service
Service Description
Virtual CISO (vCISO) and advisory services provide your organisation with a senior security leader on a fractional, embedded, or project basis — without the cost or time required to recruit one permanently.
GRC Consulting Services
Virtual CISO, managed resources, and advisory
Provide executive security leadership and specialist capacity through vCISO, fractional security, and managed advisory engagements.
Why this service matters
The business case
Most organisations need CISO-level leadership but cannot justify a full-time CISO. A vCISO engagement gives the board, customers, and regulators the leadership they expect, with the flexibility to scale up or down as the program demands.
What is delivered

Each engagement produces a working set of artefacts that the customer can hand to auditors, regulators, internal stakeholders, and partners. The exact list is calibrated to the scope.
- vCISO leadership covering strategy, board reporting, and risk
- Fractional security architects and engineers
