The CISO role is increasingly an executive function that requires business acumen as well as security, technology and process expertise. The right fit can be the key to successfully executing strategic security programs that add value to your organization.

However, bringing the right individual in house can be a challenge. The average search for a seasoned security executive can take almost a year1 while a typical CISO will only average around two years in their position.2 In this environment, organizations struggle to attract and retain qualified staff. Accuvant can help by providing the right mix of knowledge and expertise to fill the CISO office.

As a trusted advisor to organizations of all sizes, Accuvant helps align security programs with business priorities. Accuvant also assists organizations seeking to meet relevant legal, regulatory and contractual requirements. Our CISO leadership team offers the guidance and heavy lifting you require to elevate your current security strategy.
