Make Confident Decisions About Cybersecurity Leadership. Choosing the right Chief Information Security Officer — or virtual CISO (vCISO) — is one of the most critical leadership decisions your organization will make. This comprehensive guide from Heights Consulting Group helps CFOs, General Counsels, and IT leaders evaluate options, understand costs, and select the right cybersecurity leadership model for long-term success.
Cyber threats evolve daily, and compliance obligations grow every quarter. Yet most mid-market organizations can’t justify a $300,000+ annual salary for a full-time CISO.
The virtual CISO model delivers the same strategic leadership — governance, compliance, and board-level accountability — at a fraction of the cost.
Heights Consulting Group’s guide walks you through the financial, operational, and compliance benefits of vCISO services, showing how the right partner can transform cybersecurity from a reactive IT issue into a measurable business advantage.
