Cyber expertise from our vCISO service

Littlefish’s virtual CISO (vCISO) service means you can quickly enhance your cyber maturity and cyber preparedness without spending time and resources to recruit this skillset full-time.

Managed cyber security is a specialist field, requiring thorough knowledge of contemporary cyber defence best practices and technologies, and a strong understanding of the current threat landscape.

Recruiting and training in these areas can be time consuming and costly – not to mention, many organisations don’t require full-time cyber leadership to deliver comprehensive and successful cyber strategies.

Using Littlefish’s vCISO service, your cyber security strategy, policies, processes and controls all benefit from the expertise of a dedicated vCISO that is available for contact at any point, from any place in the world, and backed by a cyber defence team of industry-experienced security professionals.

BENEFIT INSTANTLY FROM INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC EXPERTISE

Littlefish has a team of vastly experienced security professionals who are ready to hit the ground running.  

The vCISO will carry out a detailed security assessment of your organisation and highlight areas of weakness and concern. They will then provide board-level understanding with full investment justification for any required costs to mitigate your organisation’s key cyber security risks. This means that you will know the cost of service early on and you won’t have to worry about unpleasant surprises along the way. 

By acting as an extension of your in-house resources and gaining an intimate understanding of your business needs, your dedicated, virtual CISO will provide ongoing remediation support and security advice and guidance as and when you need it.

Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) factsheet

Cyber security is currently experiencing its highest public focus thanks to increasingly frequent and complex cyber threats. High-profile data breaches that affect individual consumers, subsequent corporate fines issued due to regulation and enforcement powers, and reputational damage have lead to a greater focus on defending an organisation’s value creation processes.
