vCISO vs. CISO: What’s the Difference?

A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) from InfosecTitans is a seasoned cybersecurity expert who offers part-time, flexible, and often remote leadership for your security needs. Our vCISOs combine technical expertise, strategic insight, and industry certifications to deliver actionable solutions while maintaining open communication with executives and board members.

On the other hand, a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is a full-time executive responsible for managing the organization’s overall cybersecurity strategy. While CISOs are invaluable for larger organizations with complex security needs, they come with higher costs and longer hiring cycles. Salaries for full-time CISOs often exceed $250,000 annually, not including overhead costs for recruitment, training, and benefits.

At InfosecTitans, we provide businesses of all sizes access to high-level cybersecurity expertise without the cost, time commitment, or challenges of onboarding a full-time CISO. Whether remotely or onsite, our vCISOs collaborate seamlessly with your teams to implement robust cybersecurity strategies that address your organization’s specific challenges.
