Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much would a Virtual CISO cost?

    Our Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) service can cost from as little as £6,000 per year. The costs depends on the requirements of the role and your business.

  • What does a Virtual CISO do?

    A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is an assigned response with experience in building improving information security programs. Starting with a risk assessment, a vCISO first gets an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of your business’s security posture. Based on the results, the vCISO then works with your businesses executives to understand goals, budget, and bandwidth—allowing them to provide actionable recommendations, or a roadmap, based on the business’s goals and the risk assessment’s findings. With the roadmap in place, they work with your business’s internal security and/or IT team to train staff and make the recommended improvements, improving the ability of your business to protect its sensitive information and increase its operational efficiencies. Over time, the vCISO simply becomes a sounding board for your business and your staff to bounce questions and challenges off of.

  • I could just recruit one directly, why should I use your Virtual CISO Service?

    Does your “security” person wear lots of hats in your business? It’s not uncommon for businesses to assign security roles as a secondary function of an employee’s primary role. Because of this, they’re often not true experts.


    vCISOs, especially those at JC Cyber Security, are highly skilled and certified experts with plenty of information security experience. A virtual CISO is going to be able to enhance the internal capabilities of your employees tasked with handling security through the techniques they’ve learned.
