A vCISO performs the same functions as a full-time Chief Information Security Officer — security strategy, risk management, policy ownership, board reporting, vendor risk, and compliance oversight — but on a part-time retainer rather than as a full-time employee.
A consultant is typically project-based — hired for a specific deliverable like an audit or gap assessment. A vCISO is an ongoing strategic advisor who owns your security programme, attends leadership meetings, and is accountable for your security posture month to month.
Engagements typically range from 2 to 10 days per month depending on the size of your organisation, your compliance obligations, and how mature your security programme is. We recommend the right level after an initial assessment.
