All services
A full-time CISO costs six figures and is nearly impossible for an SME to hire. But the responsibilities don't go away: someone has to own security strategy, answer the board, satisfy the insurer, and make the call when an incident hits. A virtual CISO gives you that leadership as a service — and a Viktrix vCISO comes with something no standalone consultant can offer: live data from your own SOC.
Live data
Advice grounded in your real alert volumes, vulnerabilities, and control performance — not interviews and spreadsheets.
What's included
Full-service coverage, no gaps.
Strategy & risk
- A pragmatic, prioritised security roadmap matched to your risk, budget, and growth — not a generic maturity model
- Risks identified, quantified, and tracked, with clear ownership and treatment decisions
- Quarterly reviews against what your telemetry actually shows
Board & leadership reporting
- Security posture translated into business language: what's covered, what's exposed, what it costs to fix
- Board packs built from live platform data, not stale questionnaires
- A named leader your board, customers, and auditors can put questions to
Compliance & insurance
- Direction and evidence for Cyber Essentials, CE+, and ISO 27001, led by certified practitioners (ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, CE+ assessor experience)
- Security questionnaires answered, insurer control requirements met — and evidenced with your audit trail
- Procurement and supply-chain security responses handled
Incident leadership
- When something serious happens, an experienced decision-maker is already in your corner
- Already knows your environment — no cold-start consultancy at your worst moment
- Post-incident reviews that turn events into roadmap priorities
The Viktrix difference
A vCISO with live data.
Most vCISO engagements run on interviews and spreadsheets. Yours runs on telemetry. Because Vindex monitors your estate continuously, your vCISO's advice is grounded in what's actually happening: real alert volumes, real vulnerabilities, real control performance.
Strategy stops being theoretical.

Your board, customers, or insurer expect security leadership you can't yet show
You're heading into Cyber Essentials Plus or ISO 27001 and need someone to drive it
An incident would currently land on an IT manager with no security mandate
