Who's behind this

About UK Virtual CISO

UK Virtual CISO is operated by CyPro Ltd, a UK cyber security consultancy. This site exists for one reason: to explain our Virtual CISO service properly and help you decide whether it fits.

CyPro is a cyber security consultancy built for small, medium and high-growth businesses: the organisations that face enterprise threats without enterprise budgets. Alongside Virtual CISO services, the CyPro team delivers penetration testing, 24/7 security monitoring, incident response and compliance programmes for clients across the UK.

That breadth matters here. When you engage a vCISO through this service, the named leader you work with draws on that full consultancy bench. The person chairing your security committee can pull in a penetration tester, a cloud architect or an incident responder the moment your roadmap needs one.

Our vCISOs are senior practitioners who have held CISO and security leadership roles in major UK organisations, hold the certifications you would expect, and spend their time on exactly one thing: making security leadership work inside businesses your size.
