VIRTUAL CISO

Executive security leadership, without the executive hire.

Privaxi's vCISO gives you a named senior security leader who sets strategy, owns risk decisions, and reports to your board — backed by our full security and compliance bench. The judgment of an executive, the capacity of a team.

WHAT IT IS

Virtual CISO (vCISO)

A vCISO gives your organization an experienced security executive — setting strategy, owning risk decisions, and reporting to leadership — without the cost or search time of a full-time hire.

Privaxi's vCISO is a named senior leader backed by our full security, compliance, and engineering bench. You get the judgment of an executive and the capacity of a team behind them.

HOW IT WORKS

Embedded from day one, not parachuted in.

A predictable rhythm your team can plan around — and leadership can see.

First 30 days

Understand and assess

We learn your environment, obligations, and priorities, then baseline where the program actually stands.

First 90 days

Set the plan

A prioritized roadmap with owners, timelines, and budget — agreed with leadership rather than handed to them.

Ongoing

Lead and report

Regular working sessions with your team, plus executive and board reporting on progress, risk, and what's next.

WHAT YOUR vCISO DOES

Security leadership, on your team — not on your payroll.

A named senior security leader who learns your business, sets the plan, and stays accountable for it quarter after quarter.

Security strategy & roadmap

A prioritized multi-quarter plan tied to real business risk, budget, and the requirements your customers actually ask about.

Risk management

Risks identified, scored, owned, and tracked to a decision — accept, mitigate, or transfer — with the rationale documented.

Board & executive reporting

Posture, maturity, and open risk translated into language leadership can act on, without a week of slide-building.

Policy & program ownership

Policies, standards, and procedures written for how you actually operate — then kept current on a review cycle.

Vendor & third-party risk

A defined process for assessing vendors and answering the security questionnaires that hold up your own deals.

Incident preparedness

Response plans, runbooks, and tabletop exercises — so the first time you practice isn't during a real incident.

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for teams with security decisions and no one to own them.

Organizations that need security leadership but can't justify a full-time CISO salary

Companies whose board or investors are asking for security oversight and reporting

Teams where security decisions default to IT because no one else owns them

Organizations between CISOs, or facing enterprise customer and cyber-insurance scrutiny

WHY PRIVAXI

A leader with a team behind them.

Most vCISO engagements give you one person and a calendar invite. Ours gives you a named senior leader plus the security engineers, compliance specialists, and analysts who do the work — so a decision made in a Tuesday meeting can actually be executed that week.

Because we run governance, compliance, and cybersecurity under one roof, your vCISO doesn't hand off at the boundary. The strategy they set is the program we build, operate, and prove — and every control becomes evidence you can show a customer, auditor, or board.

What we highlight
A named senior leader, not a rotating bench of consultants
Strategy backed by the team that executes it
Board-ready reporting from day one
Security decisions tied to business risk and budget reality
Governance, compliance, and cybersecurity under one partner — no handoffs
Scales up for an audit or acquisition, and back down when it's over
POWERED BY CYRIK

Your program, visible on any given Tuesday.

Your vCISO runs the program in CYRIK, so risk, controls, and open remediation stay current — and the board deck is generated from live data instead of assembled the week before.

Risk register

Enterprise and third-party risks scored, owned, and tracked to a decision.

Policy & program library

Versioned policies and standards, with review cycles and attestations tracked.

Executive dashboards

Posture, maturity, and open risk in one view for leadership and the board.

Lead With Confidence
