Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for DoD Contractors

Information security, cybersecurity, and data privacy demands being placed on DoD contractors are proving challenging in many ways. First and foremost, finding and retaining well-trained and highly experienced talent is becoming more difficult. Arlington offers a unique, value-added service line for DoD contractors with our virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services.

Why use a Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)?

With costs skyrocketing for senior IT talent, organizations are finding the many benefits in using a virtual CISO. For starters, the cost savings are immense as you’re not burdened with heavy payroll, health insurance and other employee benefit costs. But just as important, you have a well-trained, experienced expert who can act independently and objectively, ultimately providing real value to an organization. If you’re seeking cost savings, operational efficiency, and expert IT knowledge, then consider Arlington’s virtual CISO services for your organization.

Our vCISO services are comprehensive, allowing Arlington to offer the following solutions to DoD contractors:

  • Developing, implementing, and overseeing all aspects of an organization’s information security, cybersecurity, and data privacy measures.

  • Monitoring, responding to, and remediating incident response issues.

  • Developing BCDRP/CP initiatives and conducting tabletop and simulated testing measures.

  • Managing vendor relationships with a proven Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) program.

  • Assisting with annual technology and security budgets.

  • Conducting security awareness & training.

  • Promoting a ‘Security First’ culture.

  • And much more.
