What is CISO as a service?
CISO as a service is a model where an organization subscribes to external CISO expertise instead of hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer. The service typically includes strategic leadership, security policy guidance, risk management and regulatory alignment—delivered flexibly and on demand.
It’s like having cybersecurity leadership on subscription: access to high-level security expertise without a permanent in-house hire.
Example
A growing tech company signs up for CISO as a service to receive monthly guidance on security governance, ISO27001 readiness, and incident response preparation.
