Led by Avi Lipa, our team of certified vCISOs provides expert security leadership and strategic guidance to protect your organisation.
Overcome the Challenges of Operating Without a Full-Time CISO
1
Board of Directors
& Risk Level
Boards often struggle with understanding cyber risks in a business context, leading to gaps in governance, risk management, and compliance. Without a dedicated CISO, cybersecurity may not receive the attention it deserves at the highest level.
Our vCISO provides strategic guidance, translating complex cybersecurity risks into clear business terms for board members. We help align security with business objectives, ensure regulatory compliance, and establish a strong risk management framework
2
Misalignment With Business Goals
Without a full-time CISO, executives may lack the insights needed to balance security investments with business priorities. CIOs focus on IT operations, CFOs on cost control, and CROs on enterprise risk—but cybersecurity needs a dedicated leader to bring these together.
As your vCISO, we bridge the gap between cybersecurity and business strategy. We work closely with CIOs, CFOs, and CROs to ensure security investments align with financial goals, regulatory needs, and enterprise risk management strategies.

Operational Gaps and Reactive Security
IT teams or MSPs often focus on keeping systems running, but security requires proactive leadership. Without a CISO, security strategies may be fragmented, compliance overlooked, and incident response delayed.
Our vCISO works as an extension of your IT team, ensuring security policies, risk assessments, and compliance measures are properly implemented. We provide oversight, coordinate with MSPs, and create a proactive security culture to mitigate risks before they escalate
