Virtual CISO (vCISO)
Many organisations need strategic cyber leadership but do not have the capacity for a full time security executive. Zynet’s Virtual CISO service provides trusted guidance, program governance and clear direction to strengthen your security posture and support business goals.
Why a Virtual CISO Matters
Cyber security is no longer a technical function. It is a business essential that influences risk, continuity, compliance and customer trust. Boards and executive teams expect clarity on cyber maturity, exposure and investment, yet most organisations lack dedicated leadership to drive a security program that is both strategic and practical.
Zynet provides senior cyber expertise to design, govern and improve your security capability. Our Virtual CISO works with your stakeholders, aligns controls to recognised standards and ensures your program delivers measurable progress and clear business value.
Our Virtual CISO Approach

-
Incident Readiness and Resilience
