Common questions

Should I hire a vCISO or a full-time CISO?

For most businesses under 500 employees, a vCISO delivers the same strategic security leadership at 30–50% of the cost of a full-time CISO, without recruitment risk or a single point of failure. A full-time CISO makes sense when you need daily hands-on security operations management, typically at 500+ employees or in highly regulated industries with dedicated security teams.

Our cyber insurance premium increased significantly — how do we lower it?

Cyber insurance premiums rise when carriers cannot verify your security controls. The fix is documenting what you already have: MFA deployment, endpoint detection, backup testing, incident response plans, and employee training records. Get IT Sense's Cyber Insurance Readiness Review helps you build a renewal-ready evidence packet that demonstrates your actual security posture to underwriters.

What are red flags in IT vendor proposals?

Watch for bundled pricing that obscures individual service costs, long-term contracts with steep early termination fees, proprietary systems that create lock-in, vague SLAs without measurable commitments, and any advisor who earns commissions from the vendors they recommend. A vendor-neutral advisor can help you spot these patterns before you sign.
