Your Virtual CIO/CISO

Today, IT security professionals have never been so essential. Why?

  • Cyberattacks aren’t going away. In fact, the volume and potency of today’s threat vectors are increasing.
  • Innovations and their required, accompanying integrations grow in both sophistication and complexity.
  • Workers are working remote (e.g. from home, from the road, etc.) now more than ever.

Security itself is growing more difficult. Finding effective leadership over your entire IT security apparatus is more difficult still.

Allow VENZA be your Virtual Chief Information Officer/Chief Information Security Officer (CIO/CISO). We will take the responsibility to:

  • Deliver on projects while leading your IT security team.
  • Implement security best-practices.
  • Communicate clearly and effectively with top leadership.

  • Expertise in data protection/data privacy laws and practices.

Information Security Assessments

Meeting information security standards (e.g. PCI DSS) and uncovering operational vulnerabilities can be a challenge for any organization. The complexity grows for organizations (i.e. hotel groups) that operate across multiple systems in multiple geographical locations. Comprehensive expertise in the following is essential:

  • International Standards Organization (ISO) – 27001:2005.
  • Payment Card Industry (PCI) – DSS.
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
  • NIST SP 800-53 controls.
