Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Virtual CISO?
A Virtual CISO (vCISO) provides executive-level cybersecurity leadership on a fractional basis, offering governance, risk management and compliance oversight without the cost of a full-time hire.
Do we need a vCISO if we already have an IT provider?
Yes. Most IT providers focus on operations. A vCISO focuses on governance, risk ownership and regulatory alignment.
How long does engagement typically last?
Most engagements operate on a monthly retainer with a minimum agreed term to allow structured delivery and measurable improvement.
Can you help with ISO 27001 certification?
We support ISO 27001 readiness, governance and documentation alignment. Certification audits are conducted by accredited certification bodies.
Is this suitable for small businesses?
Yes. Our services are designed specifically for UK SMEs that cannot justify a full-time CISO but require structured cybersecurity leadership.
Our engagement will require security clearance, is that possible?
Yes. Our team has experience working in environments that require security clearance. If your project involves restricted systems, sensitive infrastructure or regulated data environments, this can be discussed during the consultation so we can confirm the appropriate clearance process and requirements.
Can you help us with other compliance requirements?
Yes. While our primary focus is structured security delivery and programme management, we regularly support organisations preparing for frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST and other regulatory or industry standards. If your organisation has additional compliance needs, we can discuss these during the consultation and determine how we can support.
Will we get a project manager on the engagement too?
Yes. Each engagement includes a dedicated security project manager responsible for coordinating delivery, tracking progress, maintaining documentation and ensuring that milestones are met throughout the programme.
We need urgent support. How quickly can you start?
Urgent engagements we prioritise an initial assessment call to understand the situation and determine the fastest path to providing support.
How are the hours tracked?
Hours are tracked through structured project delivery logs and milestone reporting. Clients receive regular updates outlining completed work, progress against the delivery plan and upcoming tasks so there is full transparency throughout the engagement.
I have other questions. What should I do?
If you have additional questions, you can submit them through the contact form or request a 15 minute consultation call. This allows us to understand your organisation, discuss your security requirements and determine how we can best support you.
