Strategic leadership for your cyber security, without the cost of a full-time hire
Every business faces threats to its data and systems, but not every business can justify a full-time security chief. Our virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) service gives you expert strategic direction and risk management support on terms that fit your needs and budget.
A vCISO from ITPS is a senior security leader who works with your team on an ongoing basis. They help shape your security strategy, guide your risk decisions, and keep compliance on track, all without the cost or overhead of a permanent executive.
Why choose an ITPS vCISO
Our vCISO service is set up for businesses that want clear, practical leadership in information security. With an ITPS vCISO you get reliable expertise and independent insights that support your business goals, not just technical checkboxes.
Trusted expertise you can act on, experience that goes beyond theory; delivered with a straight-talking approach.
Ready to make an impact? Your vCISO begins working with you quickly, helping you lift security and risk management from a pile of tasks to a strategic advantage.
With flexible packages that scale – choose the level of support that matches where you are now and how you expect to grow.
What a vCISO does for you
A vCISO should feel like part of your leadership team, without being on the payroll. With us you get someone who:
- Leads your information security strategy and risk planning, tailored to your organisation’s size and sector.
- Works with your directors and board to turn technical risk into business decisions.
- Helps build and maintain compliance with standards like ISO 27001 or regulatory requirements.
