Having experienced leadership can make or break an organization’s cybersecurity posture. That is why E-Panzer Security offers the services of a vCISO, (virtual Chief Information Security Officer) so your organization will always have CISO leadership and expertise.

Here is why E-Panzer v-CISO services is a good choice for so many of our clients
Employment Terms
● A CISO is a full-time employee of the organization, dedicated solely to that business entity.
● A vCISO is typically not a direct employee but rather provides services on a part-time, contractual, or on-demand basis, often serving multiple organizations simultaneously.
Cost Structure
● Hiring a full-time CISO involves salary, benefits, taxes, and other overhead costs, making it more expensive for organizations.
● Engaging a vCISO is generally more cost-effective as it does not entail employment benefits and overheads. vCISOs typically charge an hourly rate or retainer fee.
Flexibility and Scalability
● Organizations can engage vCISOs on a part-time, retainer, or as-needed basis, scaling their services up or down based on evolving requirements.
● A full-time CISO is a fixed resource, offering less flexibility in terms of scaling security resources based on changing needs.
Expertise and Experience
● Both vCISOs and full-time CISOs are typically highly experienced cybersecurity professionals with extensive expertise.
● However, vCISOs often bring a broader range of experience from working with multiple organizations across various industries.
