A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is a way in which many organizations adapt to rapidly evolving cyber risks. Dionach’s offering in this area gives you access to an industry leading panel of experts, with extensive directorate experience, to confidently lead your organization forwards in the information age.
Dionach’s vCISO service focuses on developing a highly versatile security strategy for our clients, but we can also be brought in to assist with existing strategy implementation and to tackle specific issues and concerns. Dionach’s world-leading vCISO service can introduce best practices, implement compliance standards to certification level and respond rapidly to incidents.
What we do
Dionach will work to understand the goals, challenges, and context that your organization operates within to offer a truly bespoke consultative experience. We draw upon decades of industry expertise and data-driven insights in order to ensure you have the solution you need.
Challenges Addressed
Global Cybersecurity Skills Shortage
More than 50% of organizations have been impacted by the cybersecurity skills crisis. This extends from initial recruitment right through to retention and staff burnout. More than 76% of organizations have found it difficult to hire cybersecurity staff and being offered a higher compensation package was cited as the main reason (33%) CISOs leave their current organization for another. Engaging a vCISO can rapidly relieve workload pressures for your business, allowing you to ensure your wider teams are well supported.
Myopic Decision Making
Engaging a vCISO mitigates the risk of myopic decision making. Your organization will benefit from access to a consortium of information security professionals, spanning technical specialisms, qualifications and industry specific experiences you wouldn’t be able to find in a single individual. Our collaborative and consultative approach can offer external perspectives which a single individual may not have considered, or even have capacity to address.

Budget Constraints
Employing a full-time CISO can be costly, and the compensation packages expected are continuing to rise year on year. That is not to diminish how essential and worthwhile a full-time CISO is to your organization, but to rather highlight how vCISO can offer a wealth of benefits. These include providing cover for parental leave and bridging the gap between replacement hires, long-term illness or secondments.
