About the Role

The Company is in need of a Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) to take on a part-time, strategic role in leading the design, formalization, and governance of an enterprise-wide cybersecurity program. The successful candidate will be responsible for consolidating various cybersecurity efforts into a single program framework, defining the cybersecurity strategy and roadmap, and ensuring alignment with relevant frameworks and regulations. This role also involves establishing and operationalizing cybersecurity governance structures, redesigning the Information Security Oversight Committee, and facilitating regular governance meetings. The vCISO will be expected to translate cybersecurity risk into business impact, develop executive-level reporting, and mentor the internal security leader. Applicants for the vCISO position must have senior-level cybersecurity leadership experience, with a background as a CISO or vCISO, and a proven track record in building enterprise cybersecurity programs. Strong governance, risk management, and executive communication skills are essential, as is experience in public sector or highly regulated environments. Familiarity with IT/OT convergence, cloud environments, and regulatory frameworks such as CJIS and PCI-DSS is also required. The role is not operational and does not involve the execution of technical controls or leading incident responses; instead, it focuses on program definition, executive risk visibility, and internal leader mentorship. The ideal candidate will be a strategic advisor, guiding and enabling internal ownership of the cybersecurity program.
