How does a Pivotalogic Virtual CISO client engagement work?Every Pivotalogic Virtual CISO engagement follows our simple and proven process, the Pivotalogic Continuous Improvement Model (PCIM). Step 1: Assess – Knowing where you are today is essential for identifying the risks and vulnerabilities that have the biggest impact on your organization. In this phase your Virtual CISO will conduct a risk assessment and get acclimated to your organization. This will help them to understand the business objectives, information security budget, internal resources, and critical business functions. This time gives the Virtual CISO a great foundation to start when developing your information security roadmap. Step 2: Address – This is where the rubber meets the road. Based on findings and observations from assessing your organization, your Virtual CISO has now developed a detailed roadmap of what gaps and vulnerabilities need to be addressed right now, what can be done at a later date, who will do the work, and when the work will start and when it will be completed. Step 3: Improve – See the fruits of your labor. Your Virtual CISO creates reports on the progress that has been made through our easy to understand but highly sophisticated, Security Posture Score and customizes each report based on who the audience is and what is most important to them. This makes communicating your security risk inward, upward and outward a breeze.
