Virtual CISO FAQs

What does a CISO do?

A chief information security officer (CISO) is responsible for a business’ information and data security. A CISO’s responsibilities can include:

Analysing any immediate threats to the data and security of a business
Setting the security strategy for the business
Raising awareness with the board on any potential security issues with business decisions
Enforcing security best practice measures
Upon a breach occurring, investigating what went wrong and how the issue can be resolved to avoid the same outcome again
Ensuring staff handle data securely and IT infrastructure is designed with best security practices in mind

A CISO will ultimately oversee the protection of both business and customer data, as well as protecting business’ infrastructure from malicious actors.

What is a virtual CISO?

CISOs are often expensive and hard to source, meaning a virtual CISO is usually an ideal solution for businesses.

A vCISO will offer all the benefits of a CISO, without the financial burden and time constraints of having to internally hire for the role. Bulletproof vCISOs have a wealth of experience and will be able to remotely provide security insights and data management advice for your business.

Who needs a vCISO?

Small and medium sized businesses often find they don’t have the resources to hire a full-time CISO, which makes a virtual CISO a viable option to still manage their information security requirements.

A vCISO is a key resource for any business that wants to use its compliance as a competitive advantage, with even large enterprises benefiting from a vCISOs expertise.
