eSureITy’s Virtual CISO (vCISO) service delivers executive-grade cybersecurity leadership—risk strategy, compliance oversight, and insurance-aligned governance—without the cost or complexity of hiring a full-time CISO.
The Cybersecurity Leadership Gap
Cyber insurance carriers now expect organizations to demonstrate mature security leadership. But most small and mid-sized businesses can’t absorb a six-figure CISO salary—or find qualified talent fast enough.
Without dedicated strategic oversight, security teams react to threats instead of anticipating them. Risk grows silently. Compliance gaps widen. And coverage disputes become inevitable when governance documentation is missing.
eSureITy’s vCISO program fills that leadership gap with certified experts who build, oversee, and maintain your entire cybersecurity strategy—backed by policies and evidence your insurer will recognize.

Our vCISO team integrates directly with your organization to deliver measurable cybersecurity and compliance maturity.

- Governance, Risk & Compliance Oversight — Develop and maintain policies, track control performance, and prepare for audits or regulatory exams (HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, GLBA, AWIA).
