A Trusted Partner for Your Cybersecurity Journey
Cybersecurity Strategy Alignment
Aligning cybersecurity strategies with overall business objectives can be challenging. With diverse experience and objectivity, a vCISO can help bridge this gap and ensure that security measures are in sync with organizational goals.
Reduced Risk of Turnover
High levels of stress and burnout are causing many CISOs to change careers. A loss at this level affects the continuity and effectiveness of cybersecurity efforts. Having a vCISO provides stability in cybersecurity leadership, mitigating turnover risk.
Cost-Effective Leadership
Get executive-level cybersecurity leadership without the financial commitment of a full-time hire, ensuring a flexible and cost-effective approach to managing and enhancing your security posture.
START YOUR JOURNEY!
With the increasing number of breaches, the growing demand for information security consulting, and the limited availability of qualified specialists, outsourcing the key information security officer position through a vCISO is becoming a more practical solution.

FAQ
Choosing a vCISO over a traditional CISO can offer several advantages, depending on the unique needs and circumstances of your organization.
- Cost-effective
- Added flexibility and scalability
- Diverse expertise
- Quick deployment
- Reduced recruitment challenges
- Tailored services
A vCISO collaborates with your internal teams, offering guidance, training, and support to strengthen your security efforts.
By working alongside a vCISO, you gain access to cybersecurity expertise and support that can empower your in-house teams, offload security responsibilities, or fully outsource the CISO or ISO role, ensuring the highest levels of security and peace of mind.
Costs vary depending on the provider and scope of services. vCISO services are often more cost-effective than hiring a full-time CISO. Organizations can access high-level cybersecurity expertise without the expense of a full-time executive salary, benefits, and other associated costs, plus with a vCISO you don't have to stress about continuity during times of change.
Onboarding typically includes assessing your current security posture, identifying priorities, and creating a roadmap for improvement.
A vCSIO Mentor is a perfect fit for an organization whose CISO/ISO is inexperienced or does not have a secondary resource to handle CISO/ISO responsibilities.
A vCISO Partner is a perfect fit for an organization that has a qualified CISO/ISO but they do not have enough time to complete all information security program tasks.
A vCISO Pro is a perfect fit for an organization that does not have an appointed CISO/ISO.

Hear What Our Clients Say!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 09/04/2024
"We contracted with SBS for a couple of reasons; we use them for IT/Cyber audits such as Network Security Assessments, IT Controls, Tabletop Testing, annual Training, M365 reviews, and Wireless penetration testing. We also use their TRAC software for all our policies and risk assessements as well as tracking action items from audit findings. Along with the TRAC software we invested in consulting services that continue help keep our program on track and up to the latest requirements."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 09/04/2024
"If you are looking for a company that has the knowledge and skill of a huge corporation with the service of a local "hometown" business, this is it! I can't say enough about the employees and their willingness to help in any situation. I've been through a certification course as well as utilize SBS for services and I have never been disappointed. In fact, they are probably one of the vendors that I couldn't do without in my position as ISO. The company and the employees are a pleasure to work with."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 09/30/2024

SBS PROVIDES SUPERIOR IT AUDITS AND TESTING
Jeff V. | Small-Business
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 11/28/2023
"The depth of testing they provide is like nothing I've seen from other vendors. We've always done external penetration testing and internal vulnerability scans, but SBS takes it a step further to show security gaps which were not discovered in the past. We've reached out to them long after the audit was completed and they were very helpful with any questions or clarification we had."
SBS CYBERSECURITY PROVIDES AND INVALUABLE SERVICE FOR SMALL BANKS
Kim P. | Banking
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 11/14/2023
"I did not have to re-create the wheel to develop a comprehensive Information Security Program. The TRAC software has all the components, including policies, that are easy to use! I like how the program separates the requirements into different modules, as this is much easier to implement, but the end product integrates these modules and documents it into a comprehensive program that is usable."
FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE

SECURITY TESTING WITH THE BEST
Jessica R. | Mid-Market
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 11/09/2023
"SBS CyberSecurity performed my security penetration audit on our hospital's network this year. Our consultant provided excellent assistance with gathering information to perform the test as well as providing solutions that we were able to implement. They helped us recognize a flaw where the outside guest wifi could access the internal network which we were quickly able to stop with their assistance while the test was being performed."
