A full-time CISO costs ₹50–80L per annum. Most Indian SMEs, cooperative banks and growing companies need security leadership for compliance, Board reporting and vendor oversight — but can't justify a full-time executive. Our vCISO delivers that leadership at a fraction of the cost.

Request AssessmentWhy Virtual CISO (vCISO) Matters
The business and regulatory case for investing in this service.
RBI mandates CISO appointment
RBI's Master Directions require all regulated entities to appoint a CISO with defined reporting lines. For smaller banks and NBFCs, a vCISO fulfills this requirement without the full-time cost.
Boards need security leadership, not just reports
A vCISO translates technical risk into business language that Board members understand — and takes accountability for the security program.
Security strategy requires dedicated leadership
Without a CISO, security decisions are reactive, budgets are underfunded and compliance gaps accumulate. A vCISO builds a proactive, strategic program.

Our Virtual CISO (vCISO) engagement covers all critical areas — nothing is left untested.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before engaging our Virtual CISO (vCISO) service.
How many days per month is a vCISO engaged?
Typically 4–8 days per month depending on your organization's size and needs. We customize engagement models to fit your requirements.
Can a vCISO fulfill RBI's CISO mandate?
Yes, for most cooperative banks and NBFCs. The RBI mandate requires CISO functions to be fulfilled — it does not require a full-time employee in most cases. We clarify this for your specific licence type.
Do you provide Board presentations?
Yes. Quarterly Board presentations on cybersecurity posture, risk status and program progress are a standard deliverable.
