In Practice

The Mid-Market Manufacturer

How ongoing vCISO leadership bridges the gap between technical operations and executive strategy.

The Challenge

Capable IT, No Executive Leadership

A 500-employee manufacturing firm has a capable IT department but lacks executive security leadership. They face an increase in targeted phishing attacks and need someone to oversee their outsourced SOC and brief the Board of Directors on cyber risk.

The RDE Solution

20 Hours/Month, Full Oversight

An ongoing vCISO is retained for 20 hours a month. They establish key performance indicators for the IT team, run quarterly incident response drills, and present a clear, metric-driven security dashboard to the board every quarter — bridging technical operations and executive strategy.
