Advisory · Virtual CISO
A senior security leader for your organization (often called a virtual CISO) who sets priorities, frames risk decisions and reports to your leadership. No other InnerCore services required.
The work
Security leadership without a full-time hire. Your advisor sets the security agenda with you, frames the risk decisions leadership has to make, and reports progress in plain language.
Advisory doesn't require any other InnerCore service. Your advisor helps you pin down what you really need, and we build the engagement around it.
The board or investors ask "are we secure?" and no one can answer clearly.
A large customer, partner or insurer wants to see a security program.
Security work is happening, but nobody owns the priorities.
You've had a scare and want a plan, not just fixes.
You need leadership now and aren't ready for a full-time hire.
We review where your security is today and how it's reported to leadership.
We agree priorities and a security roadmap with your leadership.
The decisions leadership has to make, set out in plain terms with the trade-offs.
Executive security reporting on progress and risk, written for executives and boards.
We meet regularly to review risk and progress and adjust the roadmap.
A security program needs direction and delivery. Your advisor sets the direction: the priorities, the roadmap and the reporting. The work itself is carried out by your own team, your existing providers or InnerCore's security services, whichever your organization has in place. Progress comes back to your advisor, so leadership sees one honest picture of where security stands.
Assess: We review where your security stands today and how it's reported.
Prioritize: We agree on priorities and a security roadmap with your leadership.
Review: We meet regularly to review risk and progress.
Executive security reporting in plain language: where security stands, what's moved since last time and which decisions need leadership. The roadmap below is a sample made for a fictional company.
Commitment
Getting started
Perspective
Best for
| Item | vCISO | Full-time CISO |
|---|---|---|
| Commitment | Senior leadership without a full-time hire | A permanent executive role |
| Getting started | No executive search | A search, then onboarding |
| Perspective | Brings an outside view to your priorities | Deep inside knowledge over time |
| Best for | Organizations building or resetting a security program | Organizations whose size and risk need a dedicated executive |
Many organizations bring in a vCISO first and decide later whether a full-time role makes sense.
EXAMPLE: illustrative only, not a real customer.
A manufacturer's leadership kept asking whether the company was secure, and the answers were a list of tools.
Our security advisor reviewed where security stood, agreed priorities and a roadmap with leadership, and reported progress in plain language.
Leadership has a ranked plan, knows which risks it has accepted, and can answer the board's question with confidence.
A vCISO gives you senior security leadership without a permanent executive hire. A full-time CISO is a dedicated role inside your company. Which fits depends on your size, your risk and how much leadership time security needs.
They do different jobs. A provider runs security operations. A vCISO sets the direction, priorities and reporting that those operations should follow.
Yes. Fractional CISO, virtual CISO and CISO as a service all describe senior security leadership without a full-time hire.
No. Security leadership stands on its own. Your advisor works with the team and providers you already have.
No. Our advisors don't hold a director or officer position in your company and take on no fiduciary role.
No. We don't certify compliance. Security leadership supports your compliance work, and your team stays the owner.
