Most organisations have security tools in place. What many are missing is someone who owns risk at board level — someone who can translate technical security into business decisions, satisfy regulatory requirements, and give leadership genuine confidence.
ITbuilder's vCISO service provides your organisation with a fractional Chief Information Security Officer who works as part of your team: setting strategy, managing governance, and ensuring your risk posture is always understood, owned and improving.
Speak to our team
Your board needs to understand your cyber risk in plain language — not dashboards and technical metrics. Our vCISO translates your security posture into clear, actionable intelligence for leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
Whenever you need clarity on your risk position, we can provide it.
A full-time CISO costs between £150,000 and £250,000 per year. Our vCISO model gives you senior security leadership at a fraction of the cost — with immediate activation, no recruitment lag and no employment overhead.
Get the governance your organisation needs without the full-time headcount.
Whether you are working toward Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, GDPR alignment or sector-specific obligations, your vCISO maps your current controls to the relevant frameworks and builds a credible compliance roadmap.
Our security and governance team have worked across professional services, financial services, healthcare and technology sectors. We understand the compliance landscape your business operates in and the regulatory obligations that apply to you.
You will have a dedicated vCISO who understands your business, your obligations and your risk appetite. Regular reviews ensure you are always in control of your risk position and never caught off guard.
We do not apply a generic framework to every client. Your governance programme is shaped around your organisation's strategy, growth plans and regulatory obligations — so it works for your business, not against it.
As your managed IT provider, ITbuilder can connect governance and operational security in ways that a standalone consultancy cannot — giving you coherent, joined-up protection across your entire technology environment.
