The BS Shield vCISO service from BitServis provides you with a specific, experienced security manager who becomes a part-time member of your team. Our specialists have served as CISOs and CSOs in major organizations and have built security programs across many industries.
Most organizations come to us because of one of four typical problems.
A key customer is addressing supply chain security, an insurer requires documented security management, or you are preparing for a regulator's audit. The vCISO takes over the entire process – from GAP analysis and documentation to successfully meeting the requirement.
Management and owners today expect regular reporting of cyber risks in business language, not in technical detail. The vCISO prepares the materials and presents the results in a business context.
Your CISO has left. The company is growing too fast to wait half a year. A vCISO can take over responsibility within two weeks and ensure continuity of security management.
Management, regulators and insurers are asking new questions about AI tools. The vCISO helps create rules and processes before these topics turn into a crisis.
A virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is an external security executive who takes responsibility for the security program of your organization and covers the Cyber Security Manager agenda under the Czech Cyber Security Act.
Most small and medium-sized organizations need CISO-level security leadership, but cannot cover annual costs of CZK 1,800,000 to 3,000,000 or more, a recruitment process taking 3 to 6 months, or keep a full-time employee fully occupied.
BS Shield vCISO
Maximum protection
Based on your industry, regulatory requirements and organization size, we assign you a specific vCISO. Initial meeting: understanding how the company works, assessing the current level of security.
The vCISO performs an initial security assessment and compares the state against the relevant framework (Cyber Security Act No. 264/2025 Coll., ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 42001, DORA…). The output is a prioritized 12-month security plan.
The vCISO takes over leadership of active projects: creating policies and directives, vendor assessments, compliance programs, employee training. Regular reporting in a GRC platform.
A response plan is ready before an incident ever occurs. In the event of a data breach, ransomware attack or other security event, the vCISO activates the crisis plan and coordinates communication.
Cyber Security Auditor certification under Cyber Security Act No. 264/2025 Coll., ISO/IEC 27000, CISA.
Every vCISO has held senior security positions in large organizations and has experience building security programs and handling incidents.
You work with a specific specialist who knows your business, team and risks. A backup vCISO is always designated for continuity.
Continuous overview of the risk register, status of corrective measures, security policies and roadmap fulfillment.
The typical price of cooperation ranges between CZK 50,000 and 250,000 per month. The price depends mainly on the size of the organization, the number of regulatory frameworks, the maturity of the existing program and the scope of vCISO involvement.
Compared to an internal CISO, the organization gains a similar level of strategic leadership at a fraction of the cost, without lengthy recruitment and without long-term commitments.
