Irrespective of regulatory scrutiny in your industry or organization, too much
is at stake to not have a CISO. A security leader has the specialized technical
knowledge and corporate governance experience to help build a strong cyber
security foundation and the agility to prevent, detect and mitigate evolving
threats while enhancing the “security IQ” of your entire organization.

Kroll’s team of experts includes seasoned former CISOs from a variety of
industries who can strengthen your existing staff, set strategic objectives to
support business-critical technology demands and balance IT administration, as
well as establish clear communication with the board of directors, investors and
government agencies.

Whether you are looking for an interim CISO, a resource to support your CISO or
a longer-term arrangement, Kroll’s Virtual CISO Advisory Services provide the
leadership you need, when you need it.

You can rely on a vCISO from Kroll to have the technical expertise, business
acumen and communication skills to make an immediate difference. Our experts
have served in a broad range of industries for companies of various sizes and
will know how to align information security strategies with your company’s
unique needs and challenges. Services and offerings include:

 * Setting or directing privacy and security policies, standards, procedures and
   guidelines

 * Engaging with executive management
 * Running risk assessments on operational security

KROLL’S VIRTUAL CISO ADVISORY SERVICES HELP YOU PREPARE, PROTECT AND STRENGTHEN
DEFENSES

Our vCISO Advisory Services are tailored to your specific situation and
information security needs. While you have a number of options when it comes to
the scope and length of services, there are four areas where most organizations
benefit from the experience of a vCISO:




STRATEGY DEFINITION

Guiding executives across business function and IT, Kroll’s vCISO helps identify
business threats, provides a baseline for your current security program and
defines security strategy in line with business objectives and technology
strategies.

Our phased approach helps ensure an effective and efficient strategy that
leverages NIST 800-53 and can be mapped to multiple cyber regulations (e.g.,
PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, FINRA, NYDFS).



 
 


ASSESSMENT

Evaluating culture, processes and technologies from a security governance
perspective, Kroll’s vCISO develops prioritized actions to help effectively
manage your information security strategy and program. Assessments can include:

 * Interviews with stakeholders across the technical, business and executive
   teams as well as gathering documentation
 * Robust reviews of a variety of areas, including information asset management,
   acceptable use policies, data classification, threat and vulnerability
   management and third-party management

 


OVERSIGHT

Based on the assessment findings, Kroll’s vCISO can provide various types and
levels of ongoing support, including:

 * Developing policies and procedures to close gaps in documentation
 * Developing a remediation plan with actionable, prioritized recommendations
 * Implementing the remediation plan
 * Providing ongoing strategic guidance that is less intensive, but assists the
   organization in maintaining long-term goals

 


TRAINING

Security awareness is an important part of maintaining a robust program. Your
vCISO can recommend and help implement training on topics for every level of
user group within your organization. This can range from the highly technical
(e.g., secure coding practices) to general data handling education to combating
business email compromise. The vCISO can also oversee controlled phishing
campaigns, conducted by Kroll, to gauge employee security awareness.

 


IT ENVIRONMENT SECURITY DESIGN

For organizations looking to build from the ground up, Kroll’s vCISO can provide
your team with necessary system hardening configuration guides and network
designs. This will also include multiple security protections and incident
monitoring controls.

 


VIRTUAL CISOS BRING EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE, LEADERSHIP

Kroll’s vCISO Advisory Services are drawn on the experience of former CISOs from
a variety of industries—from professional services firms to multinational
conglomerates—and bring a valuable blend of technical, executive and
organizational experience. They are among the most accomplished technical
experts practicing today, with special insight into evolving threats and
solutions from their work at the front lines of cyber security. Kroll’s vCISOs
are supported by our global, multidisciplinary team that includes former FBI,
Interpol and U.S. Secret Service agents; former information technology and
security executives; digital forensic scientists; intelligence analysts; and
regulatory specialists from a wide variety of industries. This high-caliber team
will help put your entire information security program on the maturity fast
track.

Finding an experienced, well-qualified CISO in today’s competitive information
security job market can be challenging, time-consuming and expensive. If you
need a CISO now, then this is the perfect time to consider Kroll’s Virtual CISO
Advisory Services.
