Get immediate cost effective access to a trusted and experienced cybersecurity leader

For many organisations a Virtual CISO (vCISO) takes all the risk out of a high-cost, full time hire hire. Full time CISOs are expensive and hard to find, but the truth is while all organisations require cybersecurity leadership to oversee strategy, compliance, and incident response preparation, they do not need to pay for that experience on a full-time basis.

All Aegis clients are assigned their own dedicated vCISO, who will be their main point of contact throughout their relationship with CyberKainos.

The role of your virtual CISO

A CyberKainos vCISO is a senior, highly experienced, and impartial information security professional who will become an integral part of your team. Available immediately, they will be your ongoing main point of contact for strategic leadership and executing strategies informed by leveraging the power of Aegis, our automated cyber security compliance and risk management platform. They will use Aegis’ real time insights to guide you through the complex regulatory cyber risk landscape, look objectively at your risks, and act as a mentor and trainer for your existing teams.
