CISO as a Service

We help you mature your cybersecurity posture in alignment with your compliance requirements and business objectives

CISO as a Service

Today’s companies and institutions want and need to have sufficient knowledge, capacity and structure to meet cybersecurity challenges. Only a well-considered use of information security minimizes the risks without being an obstacle to doing business. The role grows in importance with every security breach, vulnerability, and incident that occurs. Security threats have been much more aggressive in the last few years and range from a hacktivist to criminal organizations.  By partnering with a third-party provider to manage your security program remotely, the organization gains access to staff and resources which are not available in-house, allowing it to better keep up with information security and compliance demands. It is very important for a modern business to have a robust security leadership, as digital transformation increases its overall breadth of vulnerabilities. The cybersecurity skills shortage means that affordable, skilled security leaders are hard to find and easy to lose.

Octalogik advises the executive team on how the organization needs to meet security requirements to do business in their given industry. It oversees a team that together has as a view of the risks facing the enterprise and puts in place the necessary security technologies and processes to minimize the risks to the organization. Thus, it is empowered to communicate risks to decisions makers and take action independently when necessary. It also advocates for investment and resources to ensure security practices are given appropriate attention.

Benefits of CISO-as-a-service:

  • Unbiased analysis – an external third party, the vCISO is able to evaluate your organization's existing security program more objectively than an internal employee.
  • On-demand service – constant, flexible availability of security resources, and as demands change, clients can alter their services accordingly.
  • Experience – extensive experience in working with a wide range of diverse organizations.
  • Cost-effectiveness – pay-as-you-go pricing allows organizations to pay for only the time and services they use. A vCISO is usually drastically cheaper than having a salaried CISO in-house, saving on capital expenditures.
  • Long-term and short-term benefits – CISO can make organizations more secure by identifying immediate risks and introducing or tightening controls. Used on long term, it can help lay the groundwork for a future in-house security program through training and improvement of core processes and infrastructure.

The CISO has a central role in managing all processes both technically and organizationally. Central management by an expert and experienced CISO who understands all those involved is the basis for a thorough approach, which is supported by all parties.

    • Information security management (ISM) Today, business organizations produce, amass, and store huge amounts of information from their customers, such as credit cards and payment data, behavioral analytics, healthcare information, usage data, and other personal information. All these have increased the threats of cyberattacks and data theft, which has resulted in important developments in the field of information security management. Octalogik is offering quality ISM services – an organization’s approach to ensure the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of IT assets and safeguard them from cyberattacks. It’s obvious that virtually every organization has information they wouldn’t want to be exposed to or wouldn’t want to fall into the wrong hands. Regardless of whether this data is stored physically or digitally, Information Security Management is crucial to securing the data from being stolen, modified, or other accesses without authorization.
    • Security Controls Octalogik expertise allows the team to offer information security controls services, that are safeguards or countermeasures implemented to minimize, detect, avoid, or counteract information security risks, including data theft, information systems breaches, and unauthorized access. These security controls aim to help protect the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of data and networks. There are 3 forms of Security Controls:
      • Preventive – security controls intend to counteract cybersecurity incidents
      • Detective – Some security controls are targeted at detecting unusual cybersecurity activities. They also detect both potential and successful breaches and notify the cybersecurity professional of the incidents.
      • Corrective – Also, some security controls are intended to be corrective. They are implemented following a cybersecurity incident to reduce data loss or damage to the network or system and quickly restore critical business processes and systems (resilience).
