CISO as a Service
The CISO-as-a-Service (CISOaaS) provides a leadership role in information security by utilizing appropriate technical and subject matter resources from IT Governance. The CISOaaS offers senior management with security advice and oversees the organization’s information security program.
What is Chief Information Security Officer?
With the assistance of the CISOaaS, an organization can evaluate its current information security maturity level, assess the threat landscape, identify the critical assets requiring protection, and determine legal obligations that must be met. The CISOaaS will then create an information security plan that ensures the implementation and maintenance of fundamental security measures, minimizes risks, and enhances the organization’s information security maturity level.

The Cost Advantage Of CISOaaS
The cyber security skills shortage is not only real – it is one of the biggest challenges IT leaders face today. As cyber security risks become more complex, it is difficult to find trained personnel who are both cyber information security professionals and affordable.
PayScale reports that average pay for a CISO in the UK is £100,000 (including bonuses). In SMEs, at the top end this can stretch to £280,000. Long-term retention of those employees is almost impossible as they are always being poached by other organisations. It will likely take 3–5 months and an investment of 15–20% of the right candidate’s first-year salary to find them. Given that a breach is a matter of when, not if, organisations that hire a CISO can protect their cash flow. A Ponemon Institute study found that the appointment of a CISO reduced the cost of a breach by £5 per record.
