Virtual

When you need impartial board-level advice and support from a cyber expert, but wish to avoid the eye-watering salary, benefits, NICs and recruitment costs of a London-based CISO.

If a vCISO isn't familiar with your scheme and the cyber risks it's exposed to, they can't provide the advice and support you seek.

Introduction

Cyserri have developed a Virtual CISO service for UK pension trustee boards that blends the benefits of having a cyber expert with years of pension sector experience with the convenience and affordability of a fractional resource.

​

If your trustee board requires ad-hoc advice and support from a cyber expert in relation to, for example:

 

  • a critical cyber risk at a key supplier;

  • the scope or adequacy of your sponsor's or administrator's Disaster Recovery tests;

  • the implications of a significant delay in remediating certain Pen Test findings;

  • a potential material breach of a cyber provision in your administrator contract;

  • a live or recent cyber crisis; or

  • completing a cyber insurance renewal or claim,

​

and you need it within hours or days rather than weeks or months, then you need a retainer-based and SLA-backed Virtual CISO service.

It's just like having a dedicated CISO, but without the

eye-watering salary, benefits, NICs and recruitment costs.

What else can a vCISO do?

Essentially, any activity a CISO would typically do for a UK pension scheme trustee board, such as:

​

  • reviewing the cyber risks in your risk register;

  • attending supplier cyber governance sessions; 

  • scoping / supporting an independent data backup audit;

  • enhancing your cyber governance framework;

  • reviewing your cyber policies;

  • reviewing your cyber crisis comms plan;

  • designing cyber audits on your key suppliers;

  • managing a cyber posture enhancement project.

​

If the activity can enhance a scheme's cyber security,  cyber resilience or cyber compliance posture, it will be firmly within our wheelhouse.

Some trustee boards have a superb relationship with their sponsor's cyber security team.  When that's not the case, consider using a vCISO.
