Vyomerc vCISO vs. Traditional Hiring
Recruiting a full-time CISO carries an average total compensation of $300,000–$500,000 annually, plus months of search time, onboarding lag, and the risk of single-person dependency. For mid-market and growth-stage organisations, this model is structurally inefficient — the role demands breadth across regulation, architecture, and board communication that a single hire can rarely deliver alone.
The Vyomerc vCISO model deploys a senior security leader backed by a specialist delivery team. You gain documented security programmes, regulator-ready policies, risk-based budgeting frameworks, and board-ready reporting from day one — with engagement models that flex from a monthly strategic retainer to a fixed-scope programme delivery.
