The Executive Office of the CISO (EOC) team is uniquely structured and staffed by highly experienced individuals who have been CISOs and developed or implemented cybersecurity programs in a variety of industries. This includes extensive experience with financial institutions, manufacturing, retail, and government organizations.

In addition to our CISO level expertise, members of the EOC team have held a variety of previous positions including CTO, Privacy Officer, CIO, lead IT security, consulting and infrastructure practices and IT Auditor. The Executive Office of the CISO offers two primary services – Security Workshops and Virtual CISO services.

Vulnerability Management

Herjavec Group’s EOC services can be consumed independently or alongside HG’s Advisory Services. We will gladly support & optimize your cybersecurity transformation.

Let us start by saying – we get it.
We live and breathe security, and we know your job isn’t easy.

Do any of these statements sound familiar?

  • The assessment feedback I got doesn’t reflect my business needs
  • I wish I could just sit down with someone who has been there and done that to solve the problem
  • Product company assessments lead to…surprise surprise… their product sale
  • I need help prioritizing what to do first
  • I need a plan that’s realistic for my organization, not just a templated report

We highly recommend engaging with an HG Security Workshop before jumping into your next complex security tool installation or services engagement.

Virtual CISO

Your organization’s cybersecurity program should be overseen by a security professional with extensive and diverse industry expertise. While this is an essential component of a strong cybersecurity program, a full-time, in-house CISO is not always a feasible option. The vCISO is your trusted security partner, bringing years of experience to help develop and refine your existing security program. These best-of-class and highly-skilled professionals work with the various teams and stakeholders in your organization to manage governance and oversee your entire cybersecurity program.

The vCISO will be your:

HG’s objective and experienced perspective and credibility, gained through years of hands-on security experience, will help secure support across functional business units and help achieve your information security goals.

The vCISO will align security, business strategy and operations, and the management of information assets for the organisation ensuring synergy between security, resources, and budgets.

Following the corporate risk appetite, along with the vCISO’s knowledge of security trends, new and emerging threats and the potential impact of an attack on the organization, the vCISO will create a risk-based strategy to align cyber security efforts with existing risk strategies.

The vCISO will Identify all relevant legislative or regulatory requirements and expert guidance for the creation and maintenance of security policies and procedures to ensure compliance.

The vCiso will develop and implement a security awareness training program to educate all system users including senior executives, board members, senior management.

To meet security, compliance, or privacy requirements, the vCISO will recommend tools, services and/or technologies to meet specific needs.
