Protect your business with Typetec’s Virtual CISO service. We deliver expert security strategy, IT alignment, and cost-effective solutions tailored to safeguard your most valuable data.
Safeguard Your Sensitive Data with a Virtual Chief Information Officer
The role of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is to establish and maintain the organisational strategy and execution to protect its sensitive and valuable information assets and surrounding technologies.
Many organisations, while having data that needs protecting, choose to utilise a virtual CISO (vCISO) like Typetec, to address the needs of the CISO role rather than hire one internally.
Providing this service allows our team to fully understand the security roadmap and align the IT infrastructure to the overall strategy.
Not many MSSP’s offer this service as it’s complex to maintain but our team understand that businesses need their IT Systems Management working with their Security processes.
CIO vs. vCIO: What's the difference?
There are several differences between how a CIO and a vCIO operate. The main ones include the following:
Contractor
The main difference between CIOs and vCIOs is that virtual CIOs are not employed by the organisation, thy are contractors from an external IT managed services comes like Typetec, who work off an SLA.
Different Insights
The brief of the Virtual CIOs is almost identical to one of an CIO, but the approach they take may differ.
Naturally a CIO is in tune with the internal dynamics of a company and have a knowledge of what is taking place on a day to day basis with ongoing projects.
While the vCIO won't have that day-to-day insight of internal politics, they offer a fresh perspective on the IT management of the company and bring a vast level of experience to the role.
Cost
A key factor for businesses to consider is the cost of hiring a CIO versus a vCIO. A vCIO has a set cost for a period of time based on the agreed contract whereas an onsite CIO requires a salary plus the predetermined benefits of the company.
In many cases, having a vCIO works out more cost efficient the hiring.
