The benefits of a professional team for Governance, Risk and Compliance

The benefits of a professional, outsourced GRC program are many. The interrelationships between cyber risks, controls, policies, and assets become clearer. Strategies and budgets are aligned with business objectives. Compliance becomes less of a periodic scavenger hunt.

Mature GRC improves outcomes as business intelligence is integrated into the organization, producing:

• Lower costs, higher efficiency, and improved workflow through informed decisions
• Consistent and accurate information about the state of risk and compliance initiatives
• Metrics on operational, compliance, reputational, and financial risk categories

Will an SDS vCISO benefit your company? 

SDS brings clarity to your security program through prioritized work flow and processes. Using our groundbreaking automation tool, TrustMAPP, our vCISO’s will quickly discover areas of greatest impact and carry out action plans to mitigate risk. 

What is the cost of vCISO? 

Our clients range from Top-10 private U.S. corporations to midsize companies balancing multiple cyber threats and regulatory pressures. The cost of outsourcing security and compliance management is directly proportional to the number of security processes and business goals you bring to the table. Service by an SDS vCISO team can be billed on a monthly or quarterly basis under a minimum 12-month agreement.
