Frequently Asked Questions

What is CISO-as-a-Service?

BARE Cybersecurity provide CISO-as-a-service solutions (a.k.a. vCISO). This service offers expert cybersecurity leadership, guidance, and risk management strategies without the expense of hiring a full-time executive. It’s an ideal solution for small and medium-sized businesses.

What types of organizations benefit the most from a vCISO?

Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), startups, or organizations undergoing digital transformation or growth can significantly benefit from vCISO services due to the cost-effective expertise and flexibility offered.

Why a Subscription?

BARE Cybersecurity understands tight budgets; that's why we offer our services as a retainer subscription. Your subscription service is a simple monthly fee that includes the level of service you need. Nothing more, nothing less. And of course, we understand that this may change as your needs change overtime so we will be there for you when that happens. Feel free to reach out to find out more.

How does a VCISO assess my organization’s cybersecurity needs?

Our vCISO starts with a thorough assessment of your organization’s current security posture, identifies potential vulnerabilities, and recommends appropriate solutions tailored to your needs.

Will my vCISO be dedicated solely to my organization?

While we may work together with other organizations which can, from time to time, lend their expertises, your vCISO will become your single-point of contact (i.e. go-to person), your trusted partner, deeply invested in your organization's security success.  This dedicated approach ensures continuity in your security strategy while fostering a collaborative environment where your vCISO truly feels like an extension of your team.

How does a Virtual CISO help with compliance?

A vCISO helps organizations stay compliant with industry regulations like GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC2, DORA, NIS 2, and others by developing and maintaining policies, conducting audits, and ensuring proper controls are in place.

What services do your Virtual CISO services include?

Our vCISO services include risk management, security policy development, compliance management, incident response planning, security assessments, and strategic cybersecurity advice.

Compliance seems so complicated and time-consuming.  Is there a way to make this easier?

Need to achieve compliance fast? We've got you covered. We can streamline the process of meeting various standards. We'll assess your current posture, help you implement necessary controls, and provide ongoing monitoring and reporting. This means you can reduce time to compliance, simplify management, minimize costs, and gain a competitive edge.  Ready to fast-track your compliance journey? Contact us today.

We want to improve our security, but our resources are limited. What can we do?

Nowadays, small businesses need more than basic antivirus to stay safe online.  Unfortunately, often your team doesn't have the time or expertise to manage complex security systems. BARE Cybersecurity offers a helping hand with managed services like endpoint security, training, etc. We handle the heavy lifting, so you can focus on your business, knowing your data and operations are protected from cyberattacks.

Can you work remotely?

Absolutely! Even though we are based out of the Netherlands, most of customers are, in fact, remote so we've designed our operations to work this way. This means we can seamlessly collaborate with clients and partners throughout Europe, regardless of location. This allows us to provide our expertise and services to businesses across the continent without any geographical limitations. Want to meet instead? We will be there!

How do I get started?

You can get started by contacting BARE for an initial consultation, where our experts will assess your needs and tailor a virtual CISO strategy to ensure the security and compliance of your organization.
