vCISO Collective is a private, vetted community for virtual CISO consultants
Who can join
We welcome independent vCISO consultants who actively run their own cybersecurity and compliance practices. Every applicant is interviewed and vetted before they’re invited to join.
Selection criteria
Our members are leaders in their field, focused on growing their business and sharing real-world insights. We consider several factors when selecting members:
01
Proven experience
- in cybersecurity
Applicants should have deep experience in cybersecurity (about 7-10 years) and a track record of guiding organizations through complex security challenges.
02

Members must be actively engaged in vCISO consulting, shaping security strategies, and securing new business.
