From the Founder

I entered the virtual CISO realm in 2017 by choice. I could have stayed at my CISO position at the time; it was a great job that I enjoyed very much. However, my calling was to do more with my talents, birthed in the numerous stories of large company breaches. I think the Equifax breach may have been the tipping point. These huge organizations had the resources and, most of the time, the leadership to prevent breaches, and yet were still compromised. What about the small and midsized businesses?

This was indeed a calling to service, one that I initially resisted. I tried to negotiate with God, as I have held a job constantly since my teens, never had been fired or laid off, and only left a full-time position for another. I craved that comfort and security that only a full-time job could provide. However, growth is often more pronounced when comfort is left behind.

Thus, in 2017, I launched vCISO Services with the mission of providing quality experience to SMBs to help prevent losses due to information security weaknesses. All our client engagements are led by an experienced CISO. SMBs are confident that they receive quality experience akin to what big corporations have.

Building and managing information security programs for SMBs is what we do. It’s all we do. As we focus on our core competency only, we are very effective at what we do. 

Security is everyone’s responsibility. Those are not just words; they are a truth in business that if not heeded can lead to losses and even failure. Don’t be that business!
