We offer part time (virtual) Chief Information Security Officer (aka CISO) Service.
This includes all common frameworks (e.g. NIST, CIS), GRC, Certifications such as ISO27001, ISO27799, and above all protection and readiness.
This Service is design to SMB and Non-Profit organizations who cannot yet allow a full time CISO.

Strategic Plan and Budget
The building blocks of an IT operation are the business goals and objectives for growth and operational excellence. This consists of collecting the requirements, prioritizing them with their price tags resource availability, and placing them on the timeline (Gantt chart

Cloud Migration
or back to On-Prem?
Cloud Computing or On-Premise?
or maybe Hybrid?
It really depends. We cannot compare a born-in-the-cloud startup with a legacy using legacy AS400 systems or COBOL programs. We also cannot compare a startup, eCommerce or back-office requirements to those of a manufacturing, banking, or 24/7 logistics distribution business.
So, what do we do?
We examine your business requirements, study your current state, technology, resources, constraints, and risks.
We then strategize a roadmap that best supports your business.
We recommend a rock-solid IT infrastructure alongside strong information security.
ERP / CRM / HCM
In any ERP, CRM, or HCM project, CIO leadership plays a pivotal role in ensuring success.
Our ERP projects address areas such as finance, logistics, procurement, FP&A, global subsidiaries, and consolidation. We mainly work with Priorityת Netsuit, and Oracle.
Our CRM projects focused on lead management, sales pipeline and forecasting, client onboarding and service, with marketing automation as an additional component. We work with Salesforce, ServiceNOW, ZenDesk and others
Our HCM (Human Capital Management) projects covered areas such as employee records, recruitment, compensation, and onboarding/offboarding.
Identity Management, MFA and MDM
One may say that the corner stone of managing an information security operation, is knowing who access the data and ensuring they do only what they are supposed to do.
In many organizations this is not yet the case. This is a vulnerability that exposes the organization to malicious access and consequently to data leak or even worse, ransomware.
As vCISO, we lead Identity and Access Management (IAM) projects rollout based on variety of technologies (e.g. Microsoft, CISCO, etc.)
This is typically coupled with MFA or double verification authentication, and in some cases we also rollout Mobile Devices Management (MDM) to control mobile access to the organization's data.
BI
Data driven decision making is not a fantasy! It is achievable. It's here!
We identify the business questions to be answered, plan the data flow architecture, with time, accuracy and performance concerns, and start extracting data from various data sources.
Crossing sales data, order fulfillment, cash collection and customer satisfaction or marketing efficiency offers un matched insights.
Skipping to the end of the techie story: As CIO Advisory Pro's, seeing executives making decisions based on the BI dashboard gives us great satisfaction and professional pride!
This leaves a mark for years.
SIEM/SOC Integration
There are many information security controls: Identity and Access Management, assets management, patch management, Firewalls, Web and email security, endpoint protection (EDR/XDR), event and log management and more.
However, we need eyes on all those data feeds.
We lead integration project to internal or external SOC (aka Managed Security Service Provider - MSSP). We work with leading MSSPs, supervise them as virtual CISO, and direct them. We build the internal procedures to work with 24/7 MSSPs analysts calls and we prepare the management for "a rainy day", meaning readiness for a cyber attack -- Incident Response (aka IR).
Bottom Lime - we get your organization's back covered.
