Cypherd vCISO – The Smart Way Philippine Companies Get a Real CISO

Strategic Cybersecurity Leadership Without the Full-Time Price Tag

In today’s threat landscape, every organization needs a seasoned Chief Information Security Officer, but not every organization can afford a ₱4M–₱8M annual salary package. Cypherd delivers the same executive-level expertise through flexible Virtual CISO (vCISO) and Fractional CISO engagements that scale with your needs and budget.

For Non-Regulated and Mid-Market Companies

We become your dedicated, part-time CISO or Head of Cybersecurity. You get a named senior consultant (ex-banking CISO, CISSP, MSc) who acts as the official head of information security for your company:

• Direct reporting line to your Board, CEO, or CIO
• Ownership of policies, risk framework, and security roadmap
  Monthly executive briefings and strategic guidance
• On-demand incident escalation and crisis leadership
• Full integration into your compliance journey (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NPC readiness, cyber-insurance optimization)

For Banks and Highly Regulated Industries

We offer CISO Amplify, a compliance-first augmentation service specifically designed for institutions that already have an appointed Information Security Program (ISP) owner.

Cypherd focuses on the bank's security posture, specifically mandated by the BSP to have a vulnerability management program and annual VAPT. 

Instead of building a vulnerability management team under the CISO office for continuous vulnerability assessment of the bank's IT infrastructure, Cypherd offers a continuous risk-based vulnerability management service and performs quarterly penetration testing. 

• All year-round Risk-Based Vulnerability Management 
  • Weekly external & authenticated internal scanning
  • Business-context risk scoring and prioritisation
  • Monthly executive dashboard and remediation tracking
  • Quarterly penetration testing
  • Audit-ready evidence for BSP Circular 982, NPC, and external auditors
