Security Leadership
for Growing Businesses
You need enterprise security. You don't need a full-time salary.
As your business grows, so does your cyber risk. But hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) costs upwards of £170,000 per year — with tax and overheads, that's £255,000 annually. Out of reach for most Scottish SMEs.
A Virtual CISO (vCISO) gives you the same expertise, on a fractional basis — at a fraction of the cost.
What Does a Virtual CISO Do?
Your vCISO acts as your strategic security advisor. We don't just fix problems — we prevent them.
