Frequently Asked Questions — Virtual CISO (vCISO)

What is a Virtual CISO?

A Virtual CISO (vCISO) is a fractional, on-demand security executive who provides board-level security strategy, governance, compliance leadership, vendor risk management, and incident response planning — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CISO hire.

How much does a Virtual CISO cost in India?

A Virtual CISO typically costs Rs 6–24 lakh per year, compared to Rs 1–1.8 crore for a full-time CISO. The exact cost depends on engagement scope, hours per month, and complexity of your security and compliance requirements.

When does a company need a Virtual CISO?

You need a vCISO when your organisation faces compliance requirements (DPDP Act, ISO 27001, SOC 2), enterprise customer security questionnaires, board-level security reporting needs, or incident response planning — but cannot justify or afford a full-time CISO.

What does a Virtual CISO actually do?

A vCISO builds your security roadmap, manages compliance programmes, handles vendor risk assessments, leads incident response, answers customer security questionnaires, reports to the board, and coordinates with auditors — everything a full-time CISO does, on a fractional basis.

How is a vCISO different from a security consultant?

A consultant typically delivers a report and leaves. A vCISO is an ongoing engagement — they own your security programme, sit in leadership meetings, track progress against the roadmap, and serve as your first call when something goes wrong.
