Introduction
Strategic Security Leadership—Without the Full-Time Overhead
Cybersecurity isn’t just about tools—it’s about strategy, compliance, and executive-level decisions. At Cyber Protect LLC, we provide cybersecurity consultancy and Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services tailored for small and mid-sized businesses across Michigan.
Whether you’re facing a compliance audit, developing a long-term security roadmap, or recovering from a data breach, we serve as your trusted cybersecurity advisor—without the cost or commitment of hiring a full-time CISO. Plus, our transparent pricing means no long-term contracts or surprise fees.
What Is a vCISO—and Why Does It Matter?
A vCISO (Virtual CISO) is a seasoned security executive who partners with your organization to provide leadership, governance, and oversight of your cybersecurity efforts. Unlike an MSP that simply installs tools, a vCISO helps answer the big-picture questions:
What Makes a Great vCISO?
Not all cybersecurity advisors are created equal. A strong vCISO brings a unique combination of technical expertise, executive leadership, and real-world experience across multiple industries.
Hands-on leadership in cybersecurity, with backgrounds spanning sectors like finance, healthcare, retail, and technology.
Battle-tested knowledge gained from navigating everything from compliance headaches to front-line responses to sophisticated cyber threats.
Broad industry certifications (think CISSP, CISM, or SANS GIAC) and ongoing training to stay ahead of a fast-changing threat landscape.
Experience collaborating with major organizations—from regional businesses to Fortune 500s—and insight into unique risks faced by companies just like yours.
Support from multidisciplinary teams including digital forensics experts, intelligence analysts, legal and regulatory specialists, and former law enforcement professionals to tackle complex security challenges.
In other words, when you hire a seasoned vCISO, you’re not just getting a technical consultant—you’re gaining an executive partner who can see the big picture, communicate risk to your board, and help your business achieve lasting security maturity.
Are we prepared for a ransomware attack—especially those targeting Michigan’s manufacturing sector?
Do we meet our legal, industry, or client security requirements before annual audits?
Are we investing in the right tools—or wasting money?
What are our blind spots in remote work or hybrid environments common in Michigan?
What would happen if we were breached tomorrow?
Cyber Protect’s vCISO services deliver clarity, confidence, and a roadmap to maturity—without the salary of a six-figure CISO hire and with the flexibility Michigan businesses need.
