Providing Small and Midsized Businesses with Virtual CSOs and Advisory Services
At an average annual compensation of over $284,000, the cost of adding a full-time Chief Security Officer (CSO) can far exceed the budgets of many small and midsized businesses (SMBs). However, many SMBs don't require a full-time security leadership position. That's where a virtual CSO (vCSO) adds value.
Our mission is to help SMBs protect themselves, their clients, and their employees from the ever-increasing hostile cyber security threat environment. We do this by providing High Level part-time virtual Chief Security Officer services. Every business needs someone to look out for their best interest, that knows what the current threats are and how to best protect against them.

Cyber Security
Many companies now understand that Cyber Security is no longer just an IT responsibility that every IT person should know (they don't). It is an informed, executive level discussion that needs to be reviewed regularly with skilled Cyber Security Specialists that understand how breaches happen. An effectively managed and implemented Cyber Security program is critical to ensure:
- The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.
- The proper Policies and Procedures are in place and enforced.
- That controls and protections are in place to help identify and prevent a breach or compromise.
- That your entire network is properly Architected to prevent lateral movement in the event of a breach or security incident.
- That your company reputation is protected, and legal and ethical responsibilities with regard to information and information systems are satisfied.
