Secure Your Future with OXEN vCISO Services

Executive-level security leadership without the full-time executive price tag.

You know your organization needs serious, strategic cybersecurity leadership. The threat landscape is evolving rapidly, and the stakes—data breaches, compliance fines, and reputational damage—are higher than ever.

But here is the reality: hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) requires a massive financial commitment that doesn't always make sense for your current operational scale.

You shouldn't have to compromise your security posture just to protect your bottom line.

With OXEN Technology's Virtual CISO (vCISO) Services, you gain a dedicated, executive-level security partner who integrates seamlessly with your team. We provide the high-level strategy, technical oversight, and regulatory guidance your business needs to stay secure, compliant, and resilient—all at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

What's Included in Your vCISO Partnership

 A true security strategy isn't built on guesswork; it's built on data, policy, and preparedness. Here is exactly what your OXEN vCISO delivers:  
1
Annual CIS Risk Assessment

 Every year, we conduct a rigorous, structured risk assessment aligned with industry-standard CIS Controls. We measure your exact security posture and identify critical exposure points. You get a factual baseline of your vulnerabilities—not a guess. 

2
Security Policy Development

Your vCISO develops, refines, and maintains cybersecurity policies tailored to your specific regulatory and operational reality. We ensure your policies aren't just dead documents gathering dust, but the living foundation from which your entire team operates.

3
Incident Response Planning

It is not a matter of if a cyber event occurs, but when. We build and refine a highly practical, actionable Incident Response Plan for your organization. If a breach occurs, your team will know exactly what to do, how to contain it, and who to call to minimize downtime and damage.

4
Compliance Oversight and Guidance

 Navigating compliance is complex. Your vCISO continuously monitors the regulatory landscape, ensuring your organization stays completely on track with the privacy and security requirements that matter to your specific industry and your clients. 

5
Quarterly Onsite Meetings

Face-to-face strategy matters. Four times a year, your OXEN vCISO meets with your leadership team in person to review your security posture, clearly communicate progress, and pivot your roadmap based on shifts in your IT environment or the global threat landscape.

The OXEN Advantage: Structured for Results

We don't just offer advice; we provide dedicated, structured time designed to actively move your security program forward. 
Strategic Focus, Not Just Tactical Fixes
A great vCISO thinks about where your security program needs to be in 12 to 24 months, not just what fire needs to be put out today. OXEN brings that critical, long-term view to every single engagement. 
Direct Access to the CIS Secure Portal
Transparency is key. Your organization gets direct access to the exact same CIS tools your vCISO uses. Log in anytime to view your assessment data, track real-time progress against controls, and clearly understand your security maturity level.
Dedicated, High-Impact Time
You receive 8 hours (a full day) of dedicated security leadership time every single month. This time is highly structured, thoroughly documented, and fiercely focused on delivering measurable results and closing your security gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this service designed for?

Organizations that need experienced security leadership but don't have the headcount or budget for a full-time CISO. It's a strong fit for companies facing compliance requirements, security program gaps, or board-level pressure around cybersecurity, without the ability to hire a dedicated executive.

What does the monthly engagement actually look like?

Each month includes a structured meeting with a documented agenda and notes, progress review against the security roadmap, and work on current priorities (policy updates, compliance tasks, architecture decisions, etc.). Quarterly, we add a full onsite meeting with your leadership team.

What's the CIS Secure Portal and why does it matter?

The CIS Secure Portal is the platform used to conduct and track CIS Controls assessments. Your organization gets access alongside OXEN, so you can view your maturity scores and progress data directly rather than waiting for a report.

How is vCISO Services priced?

This is a monthly managed service. Reach out to OXEN for current pricing based on your organization's size and requirements.

What optional services can be added?

Tabletop exercises, in-person or online staff training, supply chain policy development, and EOS-structured security meeting formats can be added to the engagement. These are scoped separately.

What's NOT included?

Hands-on technical remediation, security tool management, and 24x7 monitoring are not part of this service. vCISO Services is strategic and governance-focused. Technical execution is handled through separate managed services agreements.

How long before we see results?

The first 60-90 days focus on establishing baseline, building the roadmap, and getting foundational policies in place. From there, the engagement is an ongoing program, not a one-time project. Measurable progress against CIS Controls is visible through the portal.

What happens if our compliance requirements change mid-engagement?

Your vCISO adapts the roadmap and policy work to address new requirements as they emerge. That's part of what ongoing engagement means, you're not locked into a plan that was written six months ago.
