vCISO – Virtual CISO

In a context in which security management requires high, transversal skills that are difficult to find internally, Argo Cyber proposes a Virtual CISO (vCISO) service, designed to guarantee the presence of an executive figure with strategic responsibility for cybersecurity. The vCISO acts as a point of reference for the company’s management, technical teams and governance functions, helping to define the security strategy, guide operational decisions and consolidate the organisation’s positioning vis-à-vis external stakeholders (customers, suppliers, authorities).

The service is flexible and scalable, adaptable to both growth-stage and structured organisations in need of qualified vertical expertise integration. Main activities include:

Definition of the security strategy and related roadmaps;
Design, review and supervision of the information security management system (ISMS);
Regulatory compliance support (e.g. DORA, NIS2, GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001);
Security incident management and supervision of critical suppliers;
Strategic reporting to top management and supervisory bodies.

The vCISO can operate on a continuous basis or for specific projects, with the possibility of both remote and face-to-face intervention, guaranteeing a qualified and authoritative presence in the management of the IT security function.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Virtual CISO (vCISO)?

A Virtual CISO (vCISO) is an experienced outsourced cyber security professional with strategic responsibility for managing an organisation's cyber security. Argo Cyber provides this figure through a flexible and highly specialised service.

When is it time to adopt a vCISO service?

The vCISO is the ideal solution for companies that:

Do not have an internal CISO;
Have to manage compliance projects (e.g. NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR);
Have complex IT infrastructures and need the support of a figure with high-level vertical expertise;
Need an authority figure in cyber security for customers, suppliers or authorities.

What are the advantages of a vCISO over an internally hired CISO?

The vCISO makes it possible to:

Reduce fixed costs compared to a direct hire;
Have a highly specialised figure with up-to-date skills and knowledge;
Scale the service according to company evolution.

Can vCISO help achieve regulatory compliance?

Yes. The vCISO supports the company in complying with the requirements of standards and regulations such as GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, NIS2, DORA, by providing authoritative guidance, documentation, and process supervision.

How does vCISO integrate with the internal team?

The vCISO is a strategic collaborator, not an isolated consultant, and therefore acts as a cross-functional reference figure and coordinates with management and board, IT, compliance and legal managers, operations teams and suppliers.

Can the vCISO service only be requested for specific projects?

Yes. The vCISO service can also be requested to support individual projects, e.g. for an ISO 27001 certification, a security due diligence or the implementation of a multi-year security plan.
