CISO as a Service
Strategic security leadership without the cost of a full-time CISO. Strategy, risk, compliance and board-level reporting.

The security leadership your business needs, without hiring full-time
A vCISO (virtual CISO) brings executive cybersecurity vision, aligns security with business objectives and prioritizes investments based on real risk. It is the ideal option for mid-sized companies that need CISO leadership without the cost of a full-time executive.
It is not a consulting document: the vCISO executes alongside your team, prioritizes based on real risk and reports measurable results to leadership.

A senior security executive can cost more than your business can justify.

Without leadership, security investments scatter and do not reduce real risk.

Regulatory compliance

Why do mid-sized companies adopt a vCISO?
TUTARI S.A. — vCISO / CISO as a Service
Hiring a full-time CISO costs more than most mid-sized companies can justify, but the absence of security leadership costs even more: poorly managed incidents, wasted investments and compliance gaps that lead to fines and customer loss.
The vCISO solves that gap: it brings executive experience at a fractional cost, with mature risk management processes, board-friendly reports and a measurable continuous improvement plan.
TUTARI combines its expertise in cybersecurity, compliance (ISO 27001) and operations (SOC, MDR, IR) to offer a vCISO who not only advises but executes alongside your IT team. The result is a realistic, actionable strategy, not a consulting document.
