Quick response to new threats

vSEC will be available to respond to any new threats that your organisation might be facing and assist in building new controls to reduce and counter the impact of the threat.

Having a continuous and consistent approach to information security is essential but it can be time-consuming, and to be done properly needs dedicated expertise. Organisations typically assign the responsibility of information security to the IT function, but as critical business data exists throughout the functions of a business this is often a difficult task for an already busy team to deliver fully and consistently.

Information ownership is an essential control necessary for a company to continue to operate securely, within regulations and meet the organisation’s business goals. A vCISO gives you a flexible and cost-effective approach to InfoSec, leading the design and delivery of appropriate controls in your business so you meet your business goals successfully. vSEC has comprehensive skills and experience in information security, including managing breaches, so the threat of a data breach doesn’t need to keep you up at night.
