Sourcing, hiring and paying for a cybersecurity team can be impractical and daunting. Let alone choosing the right Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). At best, it’s a complicated and expensive option. In addition, maintaining these skills in-house is not practical for many businesses. Cybersecurity is not your core competency; leave it to us instead. We know cybersecurity, privacy and compliance, so you don’t have to.
The Truvantis’ vCISO Service solves your problems tactically and efficiently. You get an entire team for less than retaining a full-time CISO. Quick, scalable and robust.
The Truvantis vCISO service gives you the same expertise, services and benefits as a seasoned, highly-certified team of cybersecurity experts and a CISO. As a result, security and compliance risks will be identified and mitigated as if you had an entire team in-house, but at a fraction of the cost. Pay for only the services you need and use.
Like a full-time CISO, the vCISO ideally reports to the board of directors or the executive general counsel and takes on responsibility for maintaining the security and privacy of the organizations’ information system. The role includes creating and managing procedures and policies designed to protect information systems, and assets from internal and external threats. In addition, they are tasked with anticipating, assessing, and actively managing new and emerging cyber-threats and orchestrating the response to data breaches and other security incidents.
The vCISO lead works with stakeholders across your organization to align security initiatives with business objectives and manage risk. They can also help ensure the organization maintains compliance with the ever-changing legal and contractual landscape.
Unlike a full-time CISO, with a vCISO service, you can buy just what you need when you need it, depending on your immediate or long-term requirements. Our clients come to us for everything from a targeted pen test on a specific system to a holistic cybersecurity, privacy and compliance program.
Organizations often outsource evaluation services, such as pen testing, risk assessments, and security audits. Outsourced operations include monitoring the network, endpoints, cloud, and security analytics. In 2022 more organizations are expected to outsource behavior monitoring/analysis and security training. Given the increasing evolution of the threat landscape and the shortage of qualified experts, many organizations often find it safer and more cost-effective to outsource the CISO role.

Working with an experienced vCISO service can streamline your cybersecurity and risk management process. Benefits of a qualified vCISO include the following.
Focus
You know how to run your business. Let the vCISO manage your cybersecurity risk. Deploying a qualified vCISO service is faster and more effective than the more difficult task of learning how to find and coach a full-time CISO.
Situational Experience and Industry Insights
An experienced vCISO has worked across multiple organizations in various markets. They are uniquely positioned to understand industry trends and changes in best practices. There will be times that you come across problems you’ve never dealt with before. An experienced vCISO has dealt with multiple cyber-threat and regulatory cases and knows how to adapt your organization according to industry best practices. Unlike an expert, vCISO services can bring the power of an entire specialized team of diversified experts.
More Effective at a Reduced Cost
A vCISO comes into an organization with diverse perspectives and knowledge of what works without a ‘this is how we’ve always done it’ response. CISOs are expensive and difficult to hire. Hiring a vCISO can enhance the organization’s cybersecurity posture without hiring a full-time employee. An organization can sometimes get so engrossed in its thoughts and approach that it loses sight of the bigger picture. A vCISO provides that critical external lens when examining the information management system.
Sales Acceleration
A vCISO managed risk management program is a competitive advantage for your sales team. Quickly move your customer conversations beyond questions about cybersecurity, privacy and compliance to the value of your services. At Truvantis, we know cybersecurity so you don’t have to.
We know what you’re going through because we’ve been there. Our experts have spent many years inside both large enterprise tech companies and mid-market businesses. We know what its like to lead security inside large complex organizations and we also know what its like to wear many hats and have multiple IT and operational responsibilities not the least of which, includes security.
Vulnerabilities naturally occur in growing businesses as networks and systems expand and merge. In cybersecurity, you rarely solve every vulnerability that you find. It's more about taking a practical risk management approach. There's always a pragmatic way forward to improve cyber-governance, risk mitigation and corporate resilience.
Communication is critical for any cybersecurity or privacy program to be effective. The Truvantis team translates cybersecurity techie-talk to the business domain, providing business-based guidance for Executives and the Board while partnering with IT and R&D to achieve common goals, appearing as a business enabler rather than a security enforcement function.
We understand you must justify the cybersecurity budget, which can be challenging to explain. Security is dynamic, with some reactionary mode, and it changes based on new threats, incidents, and new regulations. The information security officer's role is to work with leadership to determine acceptable levels of risk for the organization.
We help translate IT geek speak into the language of business risk needed to make budget decisions. Armed with the correct data, executives can make informed choices regarding acceptable risks and the security program budget. Build and operate a security program that holistically meets your compliance objectives, risk tolerance, budget, and supports your sales team.
Most businesses today are subject to evolving cybersecurity threats and multiple consumer data privacy regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, CPRA, GLBA and other state, federal and international laws. Our vCISO service can help you build a centralized cybersecurity, data privacy and compliance program.
A risk management approach is the basis of an effective cybersecurity program. A risk management approach identifies vulnerabilities in the information management system, scores them according to priority, and weighs cost against business advantages. As a driving factor, this type of risk management process is often a hard requirement for organizations leveraging business risk insurance.
Your Truvantis vCISO monitorings the changing landscape of security and compliance, and advises you on the impact on your organization. Should you have a security incident, we will lead the execution of your incident response plan.
