How we can help you manage IT risk, keep up with security and compliance, and ensure enterprise best practices:
ESTABLISHING AN IT & SECURITY STEERING COMMITTEE
One of the virtual CIO/CSIO’s first priorities is to create a technology steering committee. This committee – consisting of representative across internal business groups – becomes responsible for strategic IT planning within your organization.
IT DOCUMENTATION, POLICIES & PROCEDURES
Your virtual CIO/CISO will compile and maintain full documentation for your organization including hardware and software inventories, configuration and licensing management and online service catalogs
VENDOR & OPERATIONAL RISK ASSESSMENTS
Working with the technology steering committee, your virtual CIO/CISO will meet regularly to review identified risks within your organization and among its vendor relationships and then to design controls or remediations to reduce those risks to an acceptable level.
SECURITY CYCLE PROCESS MANAGEMENT
High-functioning companies view IT security as a continuous process organized into four steps: Prevention, Detection and Protection, Responding, Remediating, and Recovering, & Reporting. It is the role of the virtual CIO/CSIO to ‘own’ these steps and ensure their proper management on behalf of the enterprise
PROACTIVE IT INITIATIVE PLANNING & EXECUTION
The virtual CIO/CSIO plays an important role in leading the planning and execution of IT initiatives. Balancing IT strategy and budget analysis, the right technologies are selected and delivered in a cost-effective and timely manner.
EXECUTIVE REPORTING: IT RESULTS
Throughout the relationship, and across a quarterly reporting cycle, your virtual CIO/CSIO will report on the key performance metrics established by the technology steering committee.
An outsourced CISO/CIO can help a company leverage IT across the enterprise while mitigating risk and facilitating adoption of new technologies.
“Their handling of compliance solutions and capabilities has been great. They seem to be aware of many of the issues – often before I raised them.”
