CISO -As-A-Service by Fortix

 In an increasingly digital world, companies find themselves more exposed to cyber attacks than ever before. These threats not only jeopardise sensitive data, but also a company's reputation and future operations. But what happens when internal security overheads go over budget? 

Companies are facing increasingly sophisticated methods of attack such as ransomware, phishing and targeted attacks on critical infrastructures. An external CISO develops and optimises a comprehensive security strategy to proactively avert threats and minimise risks. 

Regulations such as ISMS 27001:2022, GDPR, ISO 27701, ISO 27017 SOC II demand the highest security standards from companies. Violations can result in high penalties and loss of reputation. An external CISO ensures that all compliance requirements are met and continuously updated. 

Experience Security persons are scarce and expensive. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular, setting up an internal security department with continuous training can be prohibitively expensive. CISO-as-a-Service closes this gap and offers flexible, tailored support. 

1. CISO support – addition to the existing team :  Even if a company already has a CISO or its own security department, they will be pushed to their limits by increasingly complex security requirements and new regulations. CISO support provides targeted reinforcement to in-house teams for strategic projects or operational tasks without long-term commitment. This means that investments can be calculated and controlled in a streamlined manner. 
2. Virtual CISO-as-a-Service – security expertise on demand:  The virtual CISO-as-a-Service is the cost-effective solution for small and medium-sized companies that do not have a permanent security department or CISO position. SMEs benefit from a virtual CISO who provides remote strategic advice, risk management and compliance monitoring.  
3. Managed CISO-as-a-Service – comprehensive protection: :  Companies that want to outsource their entire security strategy choose the Managed CISO model. Fortix TechnoVision LLP handles all security tasks, from strategic planning, implementation and monitoring of information security to protect data and systems from threats, through to compliance with security guidelines and regulatory requirements. 

1. Cost-effectiveness and scalability 
2. More experienced and proven best practices 
3. Access to a team of experts instead of a single person
4. Ensuring compliance and reducing liability risks 
5. Focus on the company’s core expertise
