All of these organizations have tens, hundreds, perhaps thousands of Information Security Officers. Why? Because they can.
The value of the Information Security Officer (ISO) is immeasurable, which is why businesses with ISOs are generally more secure. In fact, a number of regulatory bodies, including the FFIEC require that an ISO exist in the organization. Whether you're business is in the Fortune 100 or you're simply interested in securing your assets, the role of the ISO is no less important.
The ISO ensures that risks are identified and addressed throughout the organization, while maintaining alignment with business goals and financial constraints. The ISO is a high-level member of senior management who contributes to the overall security of the organization.
In short, the ISO is the most effective security weapon in your arsenal. Most organizations, however, do not have an ISO, for 2 reasons:
- The ISO role may not be required full-time
- The ISO role may be too expensive to justify a full-time position
With GreyCastle Security's ISO-as-a-Service, you can now afford your own ISO. Engaging as much, or as little as necessary, our IaaS service is designed to scale up or down to meet any organization's needs.
But just because it's flexible, doesn't mean it's lightweight. With the IaaS service, you receive all of the same benefits, services and skills of a seasoned, certified ISO. Each and every critical issue will be addressed in the same manner as a full-time ISO, ensuring your organization's security and compliance.
The following is a sample of the services that can be delivered through the GreyCastle Security ISO-as-a-Service:
