Your Challenges
Limited Funds
You’re dedicated to securing your business but don’t have the bottomless pockets that big enterprises do. A Chief Information Security Officer is a senior resource and if recruited full time, can be very expensive (£170,000+ salary plus taxes, benefits and overheads).
New To Cyber
You are just getting started on your cyber security journey and couldn’t fully utilise an in-house cyber security team even if you wanted to. You know you are immature and recognise you first need to establish a strategy and some foundational controls first and foremost.
Lack Of Expertise
You are not currently of a size where you have a mature and sizeable internal cyber security team. Small to medium sized businesses often cannot afford or attract a full-time CISO with extensive experience and expertise.
Independence
Often in SMBs, the people who are asked to secure IT assets are those who have built it. This poses a conflict of interest which can create risk. Avoid ‘marking your own homework’ and seek an objective evaluation of your current posture.
Unclear Strategy
The cyber security requirements of each organisation are different based on how they operate, what data they process, the technology they use. It can be easy to waste time and resource travelling down the wrong path – you want to head off in the right strategic direction first time round.
Limiting Business Growth
You’re a growing company and winning new client contracts is becoming increasingly dependent on being able to evidence your compliance. As you win bigger and bigger clients, they have greater expectations for your cyber security. You don’t want immature cyber security to hold up your growth.

Much More Affordable
Hiring a full-time CISO with an average salary of circa. £170,000 with tax, benefits, training and other overheads will cost £255,000 per year. A virtual CISO costs £32,000 - £86,000 per year - 7.9 times more affordable.
Rapid Risk Reduction
Your Virtual CISO enables you to reduce your cyber security risks significantly in a short amount of time. We develop a path to not only build cyber security maturity but also rapidly reduce your risk.
Flexible & Scalable
Building an in-house cyber team not only limits you to the knowledge of those individuals, but they require ongoing training and you can't scale back without making redundancies. Our Virtual CISO can be flexed (up or down) as required.
Reduce Operating Costs
A virtual CISO service reduces your business insurance premiums, it saves on operational downtime of systems and avoids the cost of a data breach itself (currently at an average of £3.4 million).
