As part of our Assist services the Chief Information Security Officer-as-a-Service (CISOaaS) provides access to the capabilities required to respond to the threats of today and plan for those of tomorrow.
For some organisations hiring a Chief Information Security Officer is simply cost prohibitive, and for others attracting and retaining the right talent is challenging. Either way, the impact of a cyber-attack or data breach can still be significant.
Often what is required is simply access to the right capabilities at the right time.
Align business, information and cyber risk strategy, innovate and define roadmap. Manage risk through targeted investments
Understand the threat landscape, identify critical assets and manage the effectiveness of cyber risk treatment
Educate, advise and influence activities across the business, ensuring cyber risks are understood and managed effectively
Define and embed security standards, assess and implement security technologies to develop capabilities
Whilst some organisations may have strong technical capabilities but lack board engagement, others may require an increased focus on understanding their threat landscape or on developing technical standards. During the on-boarding process your business strategy, regulatory and threat landscape and existing structures and capabilities are reviewed. This ensures the resulting service is tailored to your specific needs, and delivers relevant business benefit by integrating with your existing capabilities.
Our CISOaaS is delivered through a blend of on-site and remote support, including voice or video calls and email. The service is comprised of a one-off on-boarding process followed by a delivery model designed to meet your specific requirements.
The on-boarding process ensures the service is tailored to your specific requirements. This includes the following:
Once the on-boarding process is complete, the scope and objectives of the CISOaaS will be documented in a service description. Using a fixed monthly charge and/or fixed rate you can ensure you have access to the right capabilities.
The CISOaaS service ensures businesses have access to the right security capabilities, at the right time, through an on-demand model:
The CISOaaS is based on two elements, the on-boarding process and the ongoing delivery.
ICA Consultancy provides advisory and consultancy services, and Capability-as-a-Service (CISO, DPO etc.) engagements, helping organisations identify, manage and mitigate information, cyber and privacy risks.
