Our vCISOs will craft comprehensive incident response plans and facilitate tabletop exercises to protect you from cyber threats.

Defensible’s experienced team of vCISO professionals has led organizations through numerous complex security attacks and understands what it takes to get an organization running again after an incident. We’ll develop custom business continuity and disaster recovery plans to ensure quick and efficient recovery.

Security Awareness Training
Security awareness training is a cornerstone of good cybersecurity hygiene and can empower your organization’s users to contribute to security efforts in a meaningful way. These training sessions will equip your team with information to identify, report, and avoid potential security risks.

Security Roadmap and Budget Planning
Prioritizing security programs needs and navigating the associated expenses can be challenging for any organization. Our vCISOs can guide you through the creation of a risk-based security roadmap and recommend tools and services to fit your goals and budget.

Security Program Governance and Reporting
Successful security program governance relies on quality reporting to assess program effectiveness, return on investment, and progress in achieving program goals. A vCISO will take the lead on your governance and reporting efforts by identifying industry KPIs, analyzing program data, and providing actionable insights for cybersecurity improvements.
