A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is an experienced security leader who provides CISO-level strategy, oversight, and guidance on a part-time or as-needed basis. It gives you executive security leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. Is a vCISO right for my organization? A vCISO is a strong fit if you need security leadership but don't have, or aren't ready for, a full-time CISO. It's also useful when you're facing a new compliance requirement, preparing for an audit, or responding to customer security questionnaires. Can ASG both prepare us for an audit and perform it? No. To protect the independence of every assessment, we never consult for and audit or assess the same organization. If we help you prepare, or build and manage your compliance program, a different firm performs your audit or assessment. If ASG is your assessor, we evaluate your controls objectively and report our findings, but we don't design or implement the fixes. Which frameworks can you help us comply with? We build and manage compliance programs for frameworks including PCI DSS, HIPAA, CMMC, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Tell us which requirements you're facing and we'll scope the right approach. What does audit prep include? We review your controls against the audit criteria, identify gaps, help you remediate them, and organize the evidence your auditor will ask for, so there are fewer surprises during the audit. What is a risk register, and can you manage ours? A risk register is the central record of your organization's risks, their likelihood and impact, owners, and treatment plans. We can build your risk program and manage your register in [IMPACT IRM](https://www.impactirm.com/risk), then keep it current as your business and threats change. How often should we do penetration testing? Most organizations test at least annually and after significant changes to their environment. PCI DSS requires internal and external penetration testing at least once every 12 months and after significant changes, along with segmentation testing where segmentation is used to reduce scope. ![](https://7528302.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528302/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-cms-elevate-theme_hubspot/elevate/images/features.png?width=372&height=552&name=features.png) ## Ready to strengthen your security program?
