Our virtual Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) service is designed for organisations that require someone to take responsibility of the growth of their information security program but can’t find the best resource and/or don’t require someone full-time in the position.

Hiring a CISO is expensive, time demanding and risky, OMALLEYSEC consulting services will be able to fulfill the role in your organisation at a fraction of the cost it would otherwise incur.

To give the business a clear message about where cyber security needs to be, you need a cybersecurity leader with the passion, expertise and drive to deliver results immediately. We’ve worked with various businesses to bring this in-house solution to offer our customers just that.

OMALLEYSEC consulting services can offer you the experience of our focused team of cyber strategy and intelligence managers. This team will utilise our in-house developed software and analytics in order to proactively assess your exposure and help your internal team leverage our experience and insight in deep threat analysis, governance planning and board reporting. Our team employs personnel experienced in the development of enterprise level cyber security strategies and cyber-crime investigations in multiple geographies and across a variety of sectors.

Internal audit and compliance teams have a critical role assisting their business with the ongoing battle of managing cyber threats. This is undertaken by providing an independent assessment of existing and required controls, or otherwise assisting audit committee and board with understanding and addressing the diverse risks the company faces in light of the digital world.

Let’s be straight to the point. Cyber criminals are smart, well-funded, and passionate about breaching your data. Even standard security technologies are not enough to protect you from their rapidly evolving malware. Company boards have set an expectation for both the IT team and the compliance/internal audit teams to understand and assess the organization’s capabilities in managing the associated risks. For every business, the cyber risks are different. You need an expert like OMALLEYSEC cybersecurity consultation services to perform a cyber risk assessment that will perform a gap analysis on your existing policies and procedures, and provide a detailed observations and initial remediation plan to help achieve your most ideal state of security.

Your cyber strategy is fundamental in driving the depth at which a cyber risk or security assessment will evaluate your business. Cyber strategy involves assessing your current state and defences, and looking at where you need to be to proactively prevent and detect threats against your company. It involves defining your cyber maturity, comparing it to your peers in the industry, and then using that knowledge to focus on key areas that need improvement.

Your company needs to get cyber strategy right, otherwise you will waste valuable resources on cyber defences that are either unnecessary or premature in the big scheme of things. Our recomendation: understand various areas we help businesses improve, and then make an assessment on what your business would benefit from our cyber security strategy.

The cyber industry is experiencing a critical labor shortage because our higher education system does a poor job of preparing individuals to be successful in this profession. Professionals transitioning from other career fields fight an uphill battle trying to navigate the numerous specialties that exist within this career field and figuring out how to prepare for each. Seasoned professionals may struggle as well because skillsets that are mastered to become experts in this profession are not skills that will assist in supervising or managing teams - thus subject matter experts may not be attractive candidates for promotion to leadership positions.

I offer a holistic approach to coaching individuals from all walks of life to prepare them to successfully navigate the gauntlet of challenges that exist for cyber professionals. I have several programs that I custom tailor to your specific needs to propel you to achieve your goals and land your dream job!
