Virtual CISO Services for Mid-Market Companies

---

A virtual CISO (vCISO) is a part-time Chief Information Security Officer: the executive who owns your security program, without the cost of a full-time hire, which often runs $250K or more.

Skycrest Digital Defense provides virtual CISO leadership for mid-market companies.

You get one named, accountable leader who sets strategy, manages risk, and reports to you in plain business language, not technical jargon.

If you’re facing a cyber insurance renewal, customer security questionnaires, or security spending with no roadmap behind it, a vCISO gives you executive-level direction on a fractional basis.

Take the free 6-minute security readiness assessment to see where you stand.

Skycrest Digital Defense is led by an enterprise technology and security executive who has worked at every level, from IT support technician to Chief Information Officer.

That experience includes:

• Leading technology strategy, budgets, and security programs as a senior executive
• Building cybersecurity and risk programs aligned to NIST and ISO 27001
• Running risk assessments and vulnerability management programs
• Designing secure network architecture, including zero trust and identity and access management
• Securing hybrid and cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365
• Designing infrastructure with disaster recovery and ransomware resilience in mind
• Leading incident response and business continuity planning
• Managing vendor risk, technology procurement, and contract negotiations
• Developing AI strategy and putting generative AI to work in IT operations
• Briefing executives and boards on risk in plain business terms

You work directly with one senior leader, not a rotating team of junior analysts.
