Virtual CISO

Own the security posture.

Senior security leadership that sets the strategy, manages the risk, and answers to the board — with the execution to back it up.

Tailored to scope

Why a virtual CISO

The case for senior security leadership.

Why security needs an owner of its own — and what changes once it has one.

Security deserves focused attention

Your IT team already has plenty to stay on top of; security is a discipline of its own that's easy to leave to "when there's time." We give it consistent, senior ownership.

Someone keeping watch

Risk doesn't keep business hours. You get oversight and the reassurance that your posture, alerts and exposures are being actively managed.

Assurance you can rest on

Knowing an experienced security leader is accountable lets you and your team focus on the business, instead of wondering what might be slipping through.

Customers and regulators are asking more

Security questionnaires, audits, certifications and frameworks like the ASD Essential Eight are now part of winning and keeping business. We own the evidence and the maturity behind it.

The threat landscape never stands still

Keeping pace with new vulnerabilities, attacker techniques and compliance change is a full-time discipline — ours — so your team doesn't have to.

On call for alerts and incidents

When something needs a second opinion — a suspicious alert, a possible incident — you can reach your vCISO to review it and steer the response. Senior security judgement, there the moment you need it.

An independent set of eyes

It's good practice for someone other than the people who built the systems to confirm the controls actually work. We provide that objective assurance.

Who it's for

For organisations that need a credible security owner.

You need someone accountable for security strategy, governance and risk — to satisfy customers, regulators and the board — but a full-time CISO is hard to justify and harder to hire.

A virtual CISO gives you that ownership: posture, compliance, risk and incident readiness, led by someone who has carried it before. Particularly when you're securing growth across borders.

And when it's time to act — penetration testing, threat intelligence, monitoring — we mobilise the right specialists, scoped to the work.

How it works

From posture to ongoing leadership.

01 — Assess

Establish the picture

Establish your current posture, the risks that matter, and the obligations you carry.

02 — Strategy & roadmap

Set the priorities

A prioritised security plan mapped to your risk and your growth — not a generic checklist.

03 — Ongoing leadership

Own the posture

We hold the posture, with testing, threat intelligence and monitoring brought in as needed.

Who you work with

Led by people who held the role.

ICG is led by senior technology executives with 15+ years in leadership roles at major global companies, with deep experience across infrastructure, cloud, software and security. That experience translates directly into the vCIO, vCISO and CTO-level guidance we bring to clients today: owning the roadmaps, budgets and security decisions you're weighing now, with the trust of enterprises across Asia Pacific.

Behind our executives sits a vetted regional network — specialists, delivery partners and fellow CxOs across Australia and Asia Pacific. When an engagement needs hands rather than direction, or a specific expert, we mobilise the right capability, scoped to the work — so you get senior leadership and delivery without sourcing and managing each vendor yourself.
