A full-time, dedicated CISO is common in large organizations, but less prevalent in small and medium-sized businesses (SMB). However, these organizations face many of the same risks and compliance requirements as larger organizations. A vCISO provides security expertise to clients, often on a part-time basis.

To increase scale, enter new markets, and quickly expand offerings, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are great options. However, the upside potential of making a deal is often oversold, while the downside risk is overlooked, and this includes potential security risks. Having an M&A security advisor as an extension of the corporate development team can reduce the likelihood of a major security oversight.

Security risks arise from a variety of places. Phishing attacks, endpoint security, cloud security, and more, need constant attention. Security tools exist to aid in the identification and tracking, but knowledgeable personnel are needed to derive the most value. One or more individuals need to be responsible in proactively addressing vulnerabilities that exist in on-premise and cloud based technologies.
* Execute threat modeling exercises
* Monitor emerging threats
* Assess the adequacy and evaluation of vulnerabilities
* Prioritize and coordinate remediation activities with internal teams and third parties
* Collaborate with incident response teams during a potential security event
