What is CISOaaS?

Chief Information Security Officer-as-a-service (CISO-aas) is a flexible solution that provides your business with access to experienced cybersecurity leadership without the cost of hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

This service ensures that your organization stays secure and is prepared for the constantly evolving cyber threats. Once your tailored Cybersecurity Health Plan is completed, our CISOaas consultants will assist you in obtaining the Cyber Essentials Mark or Cyber Trust Mark.

What Can You Expect

  • A cybersecurity consultant will perform a cyber hygiene checkup on your organization based on CSA’s Cyber Essentials best practices
  • Assistance in developing a cybersecurity health plan tailored for your organization
  • Assistance to close up the cybersecurity gaps identified during the Cyber hygiene checkup
  • Preparing your organization for minimally the CSA’s Cyber Essentials certification
