A traditional Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is a full-time executive employed in-house, often at a significant cost. A Virtual CISO (vCISO), on the other hand, provides the same strategic leadership and oversight but on a flexible, fractional, or consulting basis. This allows businesses to access expert guidance without the long-term expense of hiring a full-time executive.
vCISO services are ideal for organizations that need senior cybersecurity leadership but do not require—or cannot justify—a full-time executive. These include community banks, credit unions, healthcare providers, and mid-sized companies that face regulatory requirements or increased cybersecurity risks.
With ImageQuest’s Virtual CISO consulting services, you gain a dedicated security expert who works alongside your leadership team. We support program development, compliance management, incident response planning, and board-level reporting—delivered on a fractional or project-based schedule that fits your business needs.
Yes. Compliance with regulations such as GLBA, HIPAA, and FFIEC standards is a core part of our Virtual CISO service. Your vCISO will guide your organization through audits, regulatory examinations, and ongoing reporting requirements to ensure your business remains compliant and audit-ready.
The cost of Virtual CISO services varies depending on the size of your organization, your regulatory environment, and the scope of support required. Since vCISO solutions are flexible and fractional, they typically cost a fraction of hiring a full-time CISO while delivering the same executive-level expertise.
