Virtual Business Unit™
Adaptive Compliance created the Virtual Business Unit™ (VBU) to address the immense need among small to midsized enterprises to access and develop internal expertise. VBU allows your organizations to access expertise as a service when needed rather than shouldering the full cost of employing technical C level expertise full time.
The goal of VBU is to transform your organization’s limited information security and compliance expertise into a complete business unit with access to leaders in the information technology and compliance fields. VBU expertise all brings product and security architect expertise to the table which will prevent your organization from going down the wrong path and implementing processes and environments that cannot be efficiently maintained easily made secure and compliant with regulatory requirements such as PCI DSS or HIPAA.
Virtual Business Unit as your core Information Security Team
Security remains a confounding discipline in many enterprises. As a result, security executives often are left out of business strategy and planning, making it incredibly difficult for them to be proactive in securing ongoing business operations.
Bring in a VBU will ensure that the organization can provide the strategic, technology, product and operational expertise required to enable security operations to be easily managed, budgeted consistently as a service on a pay-per-use bases. Doing this will be a major step forward in enterprise security as it will enable enterprises to accurately align security investment with risk profile.
How it works
VBU is a completely bespoke service based on your own information security and compliance needs. You can have both on-site and remote access to your own CISO and team of experts who can steer your compliance and information security strategy. This service can range in duration from being a few hours per month consultancy to an interim full-time VBU or just a single expert (CISO or other). Additionally, the VBU is tailored to client needs to reflect information security requirements. VBU as-a-service also brings knowledge transfer to your organization.
Access to your own virtual cyber security team – Your CISO will be able to draw on all the individual skills of the Adaptive Compliance team as and when required e.g. Penetration testing, PCI compliance and Cyber Essentials.
