909Cyber FAQs

Find answers to common questions about 909Cyber’s approach and our consultant services.

Why should I care about cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity is crucial in today's digital landscape. With frequent cyber attacks reported in the media, your organization faces constant threats. Every online interaction carries risk. Experience shows that hoping for the best isn't a strategy. Moreover, stakeholders expect robust security measures. By taking cybersecurity seriously and demonstrating transparency, you can gain a competitive edge and earn customer trust.

What is a CISO?

A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is an executive responsible for developing and leading an organization's information security program. Reporting to senior leadership, the CISO manages IT security, risk reduction policies, and security processes. They also shape security culture, oversee training, and lead breach response efforts. In many organizations, CISOs now handle governance and privacy matters as well.

Is hiring a consultant cost effective?

Hiring a consultant can be highly cost-effective compared to a full-time executive. It provides access to expert guidance without the substantial overhead of a traditional CISO role, which often includes a high base salary, bonuses, and benefits. For small- and medium-sized businesses, a consultant offers a way to implement enterprise-class security measures at a fraction of the cost, helping to prevent potentially disastrous security incidents.

What's the difference between a consultant and a fractional CISO?

There's essentially no difference between a consultant and a fractional CISO; the terms are often used interchangeably. Both refer to part-time security leadership services ideal for businesses that don't require a full-time executive. This approach allows organizations to benefit from high-level security expertise and strategic guidance while optimizing resources, helping to reduce risk and support business growth.

How does it work?

Our consultant service begins with a thorough assessment of your organization's security needs, goals, and challenges. Based on this evaluation, we develop a tailored strategy that aligns with your business objectives. We then provide ongoing support, implementing security measures, advising on best practices, and helping you navigate the evolving threat landscape to maintain a robust security posture.

How do I get started?

To get started with our consultant services, simply contact our team to schedule a consultation. We'll discuss your specific security needs and business goals, then provide a tailored solution. This personalized approach ensures you receive the most appropriate and effective cybersecurity strategy for your organization from day one.
