Protecting confidential data for small businesses and new startups can be a considerable challenge. Cyber security policies are critical for small businesses as not everyone in the company knows what data needs to be protected and how they can help protect the data.

This model of a vCISO is ideal for start-ups, small and medium businesses, and other businesses in growth mode. In the end, cyber security is a people business, and vCISOs need to win the hearts and minds of the people they work with. They should be viewed as partners to help the organization be secure and identify its resource needs - be it additional training, people, establishing new processes, budgets, etc.

All companies have data they need to protect and safeguard, including proposals, customer information, employee information, financial information, and designs, amongst others. Small and medium businesses (SMB) rarely have the resources to safeguard that data against cyber threats.
