Virtual CISO (vCISO)

Security leadership with the visibility to act.

Our Virtual CISO service goes beyond traditional fractional advisory. It combines senior security leadership with an intensive initial assessment and ongoing visibility from operational security services — helping your vCISO understand what is happening across your environment, translate security risk into business priorities and provide informed guidance at executive and board level.

How It is Delivered

The service combines intensive onboarding, ongoing strategic leadership and operational security visibility.

Phase 1 - Intensive Discovery & Assessment

A focused 4–6 week engagement with significant vCISO involvement to understand your business, assets, controls, threats, regulatory obligations and risk appetite. This establishes a prioritised risk register, security roadmap and governance model.

Phase 2 - Strategic Leadership & Governance

Ongoing vCISO leadership, typically 1–2 days per week, providing executive guidance, security governance, incident response coaching, investment prioritisation and board-level reporting.

Phase 3 - Operational Security Visibility

Your vCISO can draw on insights from Tech AGRIM’s PTaaS, Attack Surface Management, Third-Party Risk Management, vulnerability management and 24/7 MDR services, where included — connecting strategic governance with visibility into security operations.
