Virtual Information Security Officer Service Levels
While in the past, the role of the Information Security Officer (ISO) was considered a technology function; however, with the threat landscape continually changing, the role has become a strategic and integral part of the business leadership team. The Information Security Officer should be an enterprise-wide risk manager rather than a production resource devoted to IT operations. While cost and benefit decisions will always be considered, IT Security decisions and funding should not be unduly influenced by operational ease or budgetary constraints. It’s often difficult to find the right person for this role due to budget constraints or the lack of human capital.
How a Virtual Information Security Officer Can Help Your Institution
A Virtual Information Security Officer (vISO) is an outsourced information security professional who provides remote cybersecurity services to an organization. AppliedCS is different because we offer several levels of participation—these range from Chief vISO, vISO, Mentoring vISO, and Standby vISO. These options allow us to provide the exact level of support our clients need. All our engagements provide as much knowledge transfer and training that our clients have time to absorb.
The Virtual ISO services provided by AppliedCS allow institutions access to highly qualified and experienced professionals who can help fill this needed resource at a reduced cost. AppliedCS offers four levels of service, each of which is customizable.
