vCISO: strategic security leadership for SMEs

NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001 and cyber risks call for security leadership at board level. But a full-time CISO quickly costs €120,000+ per year. ZETA's vCISO service gives you the same expertise tailored to your needs: flexibly deployable, whenever you need it.

What does a vCISO do for your organisation?

Strategic security direction without the cost of a full-time officer

Security strategy

Your vCISO develops a multi-year information security management plan (ISMP) aligned with your business risks, growth plans and compliance obligations.

NIS2 & ISO 27001

Guidance on implementing NIS2 and ISO 27001. From gap analysis to policy documents and conversations with regulators: your vCISO takes the lead.

Risk management

Structured risk analyses (DPIA, BIA, pen-test follow-up) and an up-to-date risk register. You always know which risks are at play and what the priorities are.

Board advisory

Your vCISO reports and advises at board level. Clear, comprehensible and with concrete recommendations: no technical jargon for the boardroom.

Vendor management

Assessment of security clauses in contracts, review of third-party risks and guidance on the procurement of IT security services and products.

Crisis preparedness

Drawing up and testing incident response and crisis plans. When things go wrong, everyone knows what to do, and your vCISO stands by your side.
