Why is it Important?
Organizations today face an evolving threat landscape, regulatory complexities, and increasing pressure to safeguard sensitive data. Hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) can be costly and time-consuming. Many businesses lack the in-house expertise to build and maintain a mature security program. Our Virtual CISO (vCISO) service provides on-demand, strategic security leadership to assess, design, and execute a tailored security roadmap, ensuring compliance, risk reduction, and resilience.
Our Approach
01
Security Maturity Assessment
Conduct a comprehensive security evaluation based on NIST 800-53 v5, Secure Development, DevOps security standards, and regional compliance requirements (NCA, SAMA, DESC, ADHICS, etc.) to identify gaps, risks, and regulatory obligations.
02
12-Month Security Program Development
Develop a customized security roadmap aligned with business priorities and compliance mandates. The roadmap categorizes initiatives into critical, medium, and low-priority action items to ensure an optimized approach to risk mitigation.
03
Implementation & Advisory
Work daily with internal teams to operationalize security initiatives, oversee the execution of risk mitigation projects, and provide guidance across 14 key security domains, including cloud security, DevSecOps, identity management, and third-party risk management.
04
Continuous Improvement & Compliance
Establish long-term governance mechanisms, conduct regular security reviews, and provide audit readiness support to ensure sustained compliance and risk reduction over time.
Benefits
CISO-Level Expertise at a Fraction of the Cost
Hiring a full-time CISO is a significant financial commitment, often exceeding six figures annually. Our vCISO model delivers top-tier security leadership at a fraction of the cost while providing the same level of strategic oversight, risk management, and security governance. We ensure your organization has an executive-level security leader who engages with stakeholders, aligns security goals with business objectives, and drives cybersecurity maturity—without the long-term overhead.

Tailored Security Strategy & Risk Reduction
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our vCISO service is tailored to your organization’s specific needs, industry vertical, and regulatory environment. We leverage threat intelligence, security analytics, and risk quantification models to develop a security strategy that:
Identifies and mitigates high-impact risks before they materialize into incidents.
Improves cybersecurity resilience by aligning security controls with evolving threats.
Prioritizes investments and security initiatives based on risk reduction impact and business objectives.
Seamless Integration with Your Team
Unlike consultants who provide reports and leave, our vCISO works as an embedded security leader, collaborating with your teams daily. This hands-on engagement ensures that:
Security initiatives are not just recommended but effectively implemented and operationalized.
Your internal teams receive real-time guidance and mentorship, fostering a security-aware culture.
Security policies, controls, and tools are aligned with operational workflows for long-term sustainability.
Regulatory Compliance & Audit Readiness
Organizations operating in the Middle East face stringent security and compliance mandates from regional regulatory bodies such as:
Saudi Arabia: NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC), SAMA Cybersecurity Framework.
UAE: Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC), Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security Standard (ADHICS).
Qatar: Qatar 2022 National Cybersecurity Framework.
Our vCISO service ensures full compliance with these frameworks by:
Conducting comprehensive security assessments to identify compliance gaps.
Developing customized policies and controls to meet regulatory mandates.
Providing audit readiness support, ensuring you are well-prepared for internal and external audits
