What is a Virtual CISO?

A Virtual CISO is an outsourced security specialist who helps to develop and maintain strategic security initiatives. As vCISO’s are highly qualified and have a wealth of industry knowledge, they can help businesses to adapt and strengthen their security posture.

A vCISO role is centred around tailoring a unique security strategy to safeguard critical infrastructure.

This includes:
  • Adhering to complex regulations
  • Managing and reducing cyber-risk
  • Identifying security weaknesses
  • Designing and implementing advanced security solutions.

As Chief Information Security Officers are highly sought-after and often demand a six-figure salary, many businesses are unable to recruit a CISO internally. However, by investing in a Virtual CISO service, you can access the same expertise for a fraction of the price.

Our vCISO service seamlessly integrates with your IT team, acting as a natural extension rather than a separate entity. By working hand-in-hand with your internal teams, we ensure that we align with your business initiatives and drive towards shared goals together.

Ready to achieve your security goals? We’re at your service.

Whether you are a CISO, an IT Director or a business owner, Equilibrium has the expertise to help you shape and deliver your security strategy.

How To Bridge the Skills Gap with Equilibrium

We take the time to fully understand the intricacies of your IT ecosystem. From there, we design and implement advanced security controls, manage cyber risks, tackle vulnerabilities, and stay ahead of emerging threats. Whether it’s building a disaster recovery plan, achieving compliance, securing your remote workforce, or providing ongoing employee training—we’ve got you covered. And that’s just the start.

With over 20 years of industry experience and top-tier certifications, our team of cyber experts has seen it all. We’ve worked across diverse industries, tackling a wide range of security challenges. Our deep expertise can bolster your existing security teams, optimise underutilised tools, automate manual processes, and set strategic objectives to meet your most critical technology needs.

To stay ahead of evolving digital threats and minimise cyber-risk, a proactive approach is essential. Our experts can develop a risk management strategy that helps you identify and address vulnerabilities in your critical systems, regularly test the strength of your security controls, and enhance visibility to quickly spot and tackle any gaps in your defences.

Effective results require real-time analysis and reporting on Cyber Security data. As part of our vCISO service, we provide regular reports that assess the overall security of your business. These insights offer clear visibility into your infrastructure’s security, ongoing compliance, operational intelligence, and overall security posture.

How we supercharge your strategy

Step 1
We understand your Cyber Security pain points

Our strategic partnerships always start with taking a deep dive into your business and understanding your security sticking points. Before we build a plan of attack, we like to see the ‘big picture’ of your current approach to security. We take a fine-tooth comb through your network, technologies, policies, user-awareness, and testing strategy, leaving no stone unturned. After all, to solve your pain points we must first understand them.

Step 2
Shining a light on your security blind spots

You can’t protect what you can’t see. Which is why visibility is key to any strong security strategy. We’re here to bring malicious threats out of the shadows and put them to bed before they impact your business. Using a multi-layered approach, our experts can help you mitigate security gaps, identify and patch vulnerabilities and increase visibility of threats across your environment.

Step 3
Access to expertise on tap

It’s time to say au revoir to the skills gap! With our industry specialists at your disposal, you can stay ahead of developing threats and get your security plans off the ground. Those nagging projects which have been put on the back burner will soon be set in motion. We’re here to offer our wealth of technical knowledge and lead your journey to cyber-resilience.
