When should companies hire a virtual CISO?

Companies typically consider hiring a vCISO when they lack in-house cybersecurity expertise, need to assess and reduce their cyber risk, are undergoing rapid digital transformation, or need to comply with evolving security and privacy requirements. Companies of all sizes can benefit from hiring a vCISO. Whether they need guidance or hands-on technical expertise to analyze their threat landscape and create security policies and practices, an enhanced information security program, compliance program, or cybersecurity plan that supports business objectives, or need to comply with evolving security and privacy requirements.
