Fractional CISO Services
The ability for many small and mid-size businesses (SMB) to hire a dedicated Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is challenging because SMBs do not typically have the budget, benefits, and career opportunities to recruit, hire, onboard and retain a full-time CISO. JSCM Group offers a Fractional Chief Information Security Officer (fCISO) also known as a Virtual CISO, service to provide your organization the benefit of a CISO from an experienced team of Cybersecurity professionals at JSCM Group.
The purpose of our fCISO service is to provide your organization strategic Cybersecurity leadership and operational guidance to help develop and drive your Cybersecurity program to meet compliance requirements and ever-changing Cybersecurity threats. Our fCISO services are critical to helping you think strategically about your Cybersecurity practices, policies, and procedures, as well as providing you with a realistic roadmap towards helping you and your organization stay protected.
