CISO as a Service

What is CISO as a Service?

CISO (chief information security officer) as a Service, also called virtual CISO (vCISO), involves cyber security outsourcing.

Here, the responsibilities of a chief information security officer and information security leader are outsourced to a third-party service provider or vendor.

Roles of a vCISO

A virtual chief information security officer’s roles are primarily synonymous with that of an in-house CISO. The primary difference between both is the mode of deployment. Nevertheless, the roles of virtual chief information security officers include the following:

A vCISO’s primary duty is to guarantee a fortified network for the organisation. Doing this would involve creating a robust cybersecurity roadmap or plan. Such a plan should be long-term (three years at least) and include best practices and tested tactics that promise to improve or maintain security while complying with industry standards.

A virtual chief information security officer should create solutions where actual risks and vulnerabilities are assessed, mitigated, managed, and eliminated. Thus, such officers should possess the necessary expertise to identify, analyse and control the emergence of risks, vulnerabilities, or threats in the organisation’s network.

The vCISO should spearhead and monitor all information security strategies and programs. As the information security leader of your organisation, such an officer is responsible for the efficiency or compatibility of said strategy with your business. Thus, routine surveillance and assessment are expected of the vCISO.

After spearheading all cybersecurity strategies, the CISO as a Service should offer detailed reports on the performance of each deployed strategy. Such an officer should also deliver executive reports into the insights of recovered or remediated threats and vulnerabilities within the organisation’s network to the C-suite.

Some other roles of a vCISO are rooted in the following:

Identity and access management
Security testing
Threat monitoring
Security training and awareness
Security compliance management
Establishing a backup and disaster recovery plan
Personnel management and vendor relationships

The role of a vCISO is multidimensional and immersive. It’s subject to accountability from several pillars of the enterprise. A virtual chief information security officer possesses the technical expertise and a strategic outlook necessary for making cybersecurity-related business decisions. Hence, such an officer is capable of improving an organisation’s security posture.
