Whatever size of organisation you have, you will want to ensure that you maintain competitive advantage, provide excellent services, and maintain a high level of
protection for your information assets. Large organisations often add a Chief Information Security Officer to their board, but Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
might struggle to justify the expense. 3B Data Security can bring this crucial role within your budget.
Large organisations need someone full time reporting at a board level on the security posture of an organisation, but they usually come with high wage demands. The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) manages everything from security strategy and budgets, to anything security related, including physical controls.
For a Small to Medium Enterprise (SME), this is not a luxury that can be easily afforded or needed full time, this is where the virtual role adds value. The virtual officer is easier to budget for and can be flexible to the organisation's needs as you do not have to worry about holidays, employee contracts, or what happens if they leave. A 3B Data Security Virtual Chief Information Security Officer is typically not just one person, but instead an entire organisation of specialists with a vast amount of experience that can be called upon depending on the project.
The VCISO role adds to the capability of the organisation and takes nothing away. At the end of the engagement, the skills and knowledge remain, either transferred to another individual or encompassed within company policy, process, and procedure. Therefore, the organisation need not be concerned with directly retaining skilled and scarce resource, at a time when the demands on security management are at an all-time high.
