Virtual CISO Services
A World-Class Cybersecurity Program Is in Reach
Most organizations today acknowledge that building a cybersecurity strategy and maintaining it must be an across-the-board priority. However, they lack the human capital required to manage an enterprise-wide cybersecurity program — this largely is due to an acute shortage of information technology (IT) and cybersecurity expertise, as well as the high cost associated with developing this expertise internally.
Fortunately, we can help — MCP is a leader in providing Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (VCISO) services to help private- and public-sector organizations architect and implement a tailored cybersecurity roadmap and manage it long term.
The Advantage of the VCISO Service Model
MCP VCISO experts provide value by helping to manage your overall cybersecurity program on an as-needed basis and by generating measurable improvements to your cybersecurity posture. Our VCISO engagements begin with a comprehensive enterprise-wide cybersecurity assessment that is followed by penetration testing and incident-response exercises. We then work with your organization to provide ongoing services based on needs, including third-party risk management, vulnerability management, and network/system monitoring. We also manage your cybersecurity training and awareness programs.
Our VCISO offering:
- Eliminates procurement of in-house, full-time expertise, which is highly advantageous given that cybersecurity practitioners are in high demand and typically are expensive. Our model requires that you only pay for the services utilized, on a time-and-material basis.
- Enables your organization to tap into world-class expertise that often is infeasible to develop internally. This model is ideal for mission-critical organizations with sensitive data that requires a mature cybersecurity program.
- Ensures that your organization has access to real-time remediation services if an information-security compromise occurs.
