Outsourced CISO Service

On Demain CISO-AS-A-Service Cyber Security Experience and Expertise

Outsourced CISO Service

Outsourcing your Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) role is a cost effective and efficient alternative to finding, recruiting, and retaining experienced c-level security personnel.

Whether you're looking for a long term solution as a part of your managed security services, or a security specialist to oversee digital transformation or key projects, a virtual CISO gives you instant access to a team of experienced, dedicated experts to improve your organisation's information and cyber security.

Risk Assessment and Compliance

Assessing gaps in your information security against your organisation’s individualised risk profile, putting together a cyber roadmap, presenting recommendations to board executives, and overseeing the process are all valuable services a CISO can provide.

Frameworks and Policy

Developing organisational security policies and ensuring that necessary frameworks are met are core functions of a CISO and an important aspect of a robust security posture. Mature cybersecurity policies and compliance are necessary for risk assessors, cyber insurance readiness, and executive boards.

Security Change Management

Any changes to your ICT environment, such as upgrades, changes to new infrastructure, or adopting cloud-based platforms require oversight by a CISO. The use of a change management process ensures that changes to systems are made in an accountable manner with appropriate consultation and approval.

CISO

Security Strategy

Our CISOs can assess your current security posture and, based on your business and compliance needs, create a security strategy and programme of work that improves it to meet an agreed target state.

We can review your existing organisational, technical and physical security controls, create a security improvement road map, engage with your board to agree the plan and budget and programme manage the agreed plan.

Risk Management

Every organisation should take a risk based approach to information security, starting with asset identification and threat, vulnerability and impact assessments. This ensures that the most valuable and sensitive assets are prioritised.

Our CISOs can take ownership of your information risk management programme. We’ll work with stakeholders to assess risks and apply controls, help executives manage tolerable risks and advise when to transfer elements of risk or terminate activities that are creating unnecessary risk.

SERVICES

Assurance

Threats and vulnerabilities don’t stand still and the security threat landscape evolves constantly. It is therefore important to have a programme of continual assurance activities in place to ensure you can identify, detect and respond to threats and security incidents as they arise.

Our CISOs can implement a proportionate assurance programme. And manage supplier security assurance, vulnerability testing, penetration testing, user awareness and provide ongoing security assessments.

Governance

Introducing and maintaining good security governance can be difficult in busy organisations. Competing priorities often mean sufficient governance is not implemented.

Our CISOs can take ownership of or contribute to your governance processes. We can chair or participate in your information risk and security steering group, review security incidents, run ‘lessons learned’ reviews and implement correct actions, carry out internal auditing and keep your policies and procedures under continual review.

& SOLUTION

Compliance

Our CISOs can implement compliance management systems and processes to ensure you meet specific regulations and standards. These include GDPR, DPA18, NIS Directive, DCB1596 Secure Email Standard and the Gambling Commission RTS security requirements.

We can also implement and support an ISO27001: 2013 certified Information Security Management System (ISMS) at your organisation.

Security Vendor Management

Identifying the right security technologies and security service providers can be complex. A plethora of products, applications and managed services are available for on-premise, cloud and mobile environments. Ensuring you are getting the best from your Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) can also be time consuming.

Our CISOs can help identify the required technical controls, vendors and solutions providers and MSSPs.

Key Business Benefits

Our Outsourced CISO are valuable!

Without this role internally, establishing and retaining the necessary in-depth knowledge can be difficult for an organisation. In many cases, particularly for SMEs, it may be difficult to justify the overhead for a full-time CISO, leaving gaps in your organisation's security processes that often fall on IT teams to fill, many who may not have the time, skill, knowledge, or resources to do so and ultimately leaving your organisation at risk.Utilising Security Centric’s CISO-as-a-service mitigates this risk and gives your organisation a dedicated, and more economical resource as much, or as little as needed depending on your circumstance. Our CISO-a-a-S will, among other tasks as needed, assist with:

Design, implementation, and direction of security system frameworks.
Planning and strategy for standard practices and procedures for information security.
Advisory services for business risk management in the context of cyber security, including incident response.
Compliance and risk-based assessments of security functions.
Oversight and input on the security of digital projects in development.
