Virtual CISO and Virtual DPO

Not every organization needs — or can afford — a full-time Chief Information Security Officer or Data Protection Officer. FORENSEC’s Virtual CISO and Virtual DPO services give you on-demand access to senior cybersecurity and data privacy leadership, tailored to your risk profile, regulatory obligations, and budget.

Virtual CISO (vCISO)

Our vCISO service embeds an experienced security executive into your leadership cadence — without the overhead of a full-time hire. You get board-ready reporting, strategic roadmaps, and hands-on guidance for ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2, and local regulatory frameworks.

• Security strategy and roadmap development
• Board and executive reporting
• Vendor risk management and third-party assessments
• Incident response planning and tabletop exercises
• Compliance readiness (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF)
• Security budget and resource planning

Virtual DPO (vDPO)

With data protection regulations tightening across jurisdictions — from Sri Lanka’s PDPA to the GDPR and Middle Eastern frameworks — our vDPO service ensures your organization meets its legal obligations. We act as your statutory Data Protection Officer, handling regulator liaison, data subject requests, and privacy impact assessments.

• Data Protection Officer as a statutory appointment
• Data mapping and Records of Processing Activities (ROPA)
• Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)
• Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) handling
• Privacy policy and notice drafting
• Regulator liaison and breach notification support

Engagement Model: Both services are offered on a monthly retainer basis, scaled to your organization’s size and complexity. Engagements start at 10 hours per month with flexible scaling. Every engagement begins with a maturity assessment to establish your baseline and define measurable outcomes.
