What is a virtual CISO?

A virtual CISO (vCISO) is an information security professional who provides CISO services to businesses on a retainer basis. This gives instant access to senior security expertise, helping you look objectively at your business, make technology recommendations, and manage risk. CISO as a service provides flexibility, scalability and specialist skills to help businesses navigate the complex landscape of information security strategy and risk management. With dedicated CISO hires being increasingly expensive and information security being a growing part of everyday business, a virtual CISO bridges the gap and provides a high-value service.

“We moved our legal support to WorkNest having previously used a time and line law firm. It was important, though, that an all-inclusive fee structure did not come at the expense of quality. Thankfully we’ve been delighted with the service we’ve received from WorkNest"
