Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)
Organizations need an experienced CISO to drive critical initiatives and oversee an entire security program and the technologies required to protect the organization and its customers from modern security threats while meeting regulatory compliance requirements. Not every organization has the budget for a top-level CISO to manage security strategy and business continuity. These leaders are rare, making them challenging to hire and retain.
With decades of experience in security consulting and advisory services, Pondurance delivers a Virtual CISO (vCISO) service that applies expertise where it is needed most. Our team of seasoned security consultants aligns with a wide array of administrative, operational, and key security program competencies to help organizations that are not in the position to bring in a full-time CISO to achieve short-and long-term organizational goals.
Manage and mature your security posture for a fraction of the cost of a C-suite headcount.
