Security needs leadership, not just more tools.
A growing business can have security products in place and still struggle to answer basic questions: What matters most? Who owns the risk? What should happen if an incident occurs?
Top 20 Solutions provides Virtual CISO consulting to help connect security activity to business priorities. We work with leadership, employees, and technology providers to create a clearer direction for your security program.
Build a more deliberate security program
- Risk assessment and prioritization: understand key exposures and decide which improvements deserve attention first.
- Security roadmaps: organize recommendations into a realistic sequence with clear ownership.
- Policies and governance: establish expectations for access, data handling, acceptable use, and security responsibilities.
- Incident preparedness: clarify contacts, escalation paths, and recovery priorities before an incident.
- Employee awareness: guide a practical training approach tied to the risks people encounter at work.
- Vendor and customer security reviews: help assess requirements, gather evidence, and identify gaps.
A useful bridge between leadership and IT
Security recommendations are only useful when people understand them and can act on them. Our role is to help explain the business implications, coordinate the right stakeholders, and keep attention on the improvements that matter.
Start with your most pressing question
An upcoming customer review, cyber-insurance questionnaire, or concern about ransomware can be a starting point. A focused cybersecurity assessment can help define the work before an ongoing advisory engagement.
Common questions
Is this a replacement for our IT team?
The role can work alongside your IT team and service providers. A Virtual CISO helps guide the security program, while implementation responsibilities are agreed within the engagement.
Can you guarantee compliance or prevent every incident?
No. Consulting helps identify and manage risk, but it cannot eliminate it. Any regulatory or contractual requirements should be evaluated for your specific situation.
Can security and AI governance be addressed together?
Yes. Data handling, employee guidance, vendor review, and access controls are relevant to both security and responsible AI adoption.
