Virtual CISO (vCISO) Services
Most organizations need senior security leadership — few can justify a full-time CISO salary. Altrixys vCISO gives you an experienced security leader on a fractional basis: strategy, governance and accountability, scaled to your size and budget.
What vCISO services include
Everything a CISO does — minus the full-time cost. Engagements scale from a few days per month to embedded leadership.
Security Strategy & Roadmap
A pragmatic multi-year security program aligned with your business goals, budget and actual threat profile.
Policy & Governance
Security policies, standards and processes that fit your organization — written to be followed, not filed.
Risk Management
Ongoing risk assessment and a living risk register, so decisions about security spending are made with clear eyes.
Vendor & Third-Party Oversight
Security review of the suppliers and SaaS platforms your business depends on — before they become your breach.
Board & Management Reporting
Clear, jargon-free reporting that tells leadership what the risks are, what's being done, and what it costs.
Compliance Oversight
Coordination of GDPR, ISO 27001 and NIS2 obligations under one coherent program instead of parallel checklists.
A CISO who has seen both sides
Offensive-grounded judgment
Strategy informed by hands-on offensive and defensive practice — not just frameworks and slide decks.
A fraction of the cost
Senior security leadership at a fraction of a full-time executive hire — with the flexibility to scale up or down.
Vendor-neutral advice
We sell expertise, not products. Recommendations are driven by your risk — never by reseller margins.
