How to Leverage the Right vCISO Services for Your Organization

Written by Brandi Pickett | Sep 13, 2023 4:00:00 AM

In a recent blog post, we dove into the benefits of a vCISO and the key reasons why this service is essential to an organization’s strong cybersecurity posture. A vCISO, or virtual Chief Information Security Officer, is a cybersecurity professional who provides strategic guidance and leadership in the realm of information security on a virtual or part-time basis. Unlike a traditional full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) who holds a permanent executive position within an organization, a vCISO offers their services remotely, typically through a consulting or advisory arrangement.

At Ingalls, we offer vCISO services in two different ways: vCISO Structured and vCISO Retainer. Both of these services are designed to enhance our clients' cybersecurity posture, but they cater to different needs and circumstances. 

In this blog post, we break down the specific scope of each service and key features and benefits to help you make an informed decision when it comes to a vCISO solution.
