Virtual CISO Platform
A Virtual CISO platform provides comprehensive cybersecurity solutions. It offers risk assessment, policy development, incident response planning, and compliance management. It’s a cost-effective way for businesses to access high-level security expertise without hiring a full-time, in-house Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) or vCISO offerings have been growing in popularity for years now.
Outsourced vCISO services through consulting firms can get very costly without a platform or tools. Typical cybersecurity consulting firms are set up for hourly billing and leverage manual efforts to conduct assessments. Depending on the skill level and scope of work, you can expect to pay somewhere in the range of $100-$400 per hour. The most common onboarding workflow for these firms, since as a new client you may not know exactly what it is you need to fix (that’s what you’re hiring them for after all!), is to start out with a risk or gap assessment.
Legacy Methods
Legacy style vCISO services with a firm can take months of onboarding and evaluation time to start getting plans of action and feedback:
- Assessment hours: 60 – 100 hours
- Total cost: $12,000 – $20,000 at $200 per hour
The above costs are compounded when you consider that this is just the honeymoon phase of the buyer/vendor relationship and it could be 2-6 months of back and forth evaluations before reports and corrective action recommendations are issued. Following this phase, you can likely expect more hourly costs to begin fixing the problems it took up to 6 months to discover in the first place.
