Secure AI Adoption. Govern AI Risk. Protect the Business.
Virtual Chief AI Security Officer (vCAISO) counsel for boards and executives. Independent AI security leadership from vCyberBoard Advisor: assess AI agents, frontier AI and model and data risks, and prepare for ISO/IEC 42001 readiness with an independent advisory approach.
What a vCAISO actually does for your organisation.
Set the AI security direction
Establish AI security strategy, ownership, decision rights and risk appetite aligned with business objectives and AI adoption plans.
Secure AI agents and agentic systems
Define identity, least privilege, tool permissions, human approval gates and emergency shutdown for autonomous agents.
Understand frontier-model exposure
Translate advanced and frontier model threats into business risk, monitoring priorities and board-level decisions.
Protect models, data and supply chain
Secure LLM applications, data flows, RAG and vector stores, and the third-party AI services your organisation depends on.
Test, monitor and respond
Prepare the organisation to test AI systems adversarially, monitor them at runtime and respond to AI-specific incidents.
Lead ISO/IEC 42001 readiness
Coordinate gap assessment, roadmap, evidence preparation and internal audit toward an AI management system, alongside the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF.
Your board should see the same picture your AI teams see.
The vCAISO connects operational AI security with board-level accountability. One picture, from the boardroom to the teams building and running AI.

vCISO or vCAISO.
vCISO covers enterprise cybersecurity.
The Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) service addresses enterprise cybersecurity leadership: security strategy, cyber-risk management, security governance and regulatory readiness across NIS2, DORA, ISO/IEC 27001 and GDPR.
vCAISO specializes in AI-specific security risks.
The vCAISO (Virtual Chief AI Security Officer) addresses the security risks specific to AI: agents and agentic systems, frontier models, LLM applications, data and supply chains, AI incident response and ISO/IEC 42001 readiness.
You may request either or both. Where AI security and enterprise cybersecurity intersect, the two services align rather than duplicate.
What you receive.
A vCAISO engagement is not a recurring meeting and a slide deck. It produces an operating AI security capability.
Talk to a vCAISO Advisor.
One short message about your AI estate, straight to the advisor. No forms to navigate, no intermediaries. You will hear back within one business day.
Confidential · No obligation · An enquiry is not a commitment
Measure AI security before you fund it.
ISO/IEC 42001 defines the Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), and that management-system model is the guiding reference for this offering. We label our service the AI Security Assessment. It is not an official AIMS certification, and ISO/IEC 42001 certification is issued by an independent certification body, not by vCyberBoard Advisor.
Assessment categories
- 01Governance & accountability
- 02AI inventory & classification
- 03AI agent security
- 04Frontier-model threats
- 05Model, application, data & supply-chain security
- 06Runtime monitoring & incident response
- 07ISO/IEC 42001 readiness
- 08Regulatory assurance
Relevant work is aligned to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 27001 where appropriate.
Maturity scale
Each category is rated on a five-level scale: Initial, Developing, Defined, Managed, Optimized. Unknown or not yet assessed is a permitted answer, and is often the honest one.
Preliminary prioritized roadmap
The assessment generates a preliminary, prioritized roadmap with gaps, business impact, recommended actions, owners and indicative time horizons.
Self-assessment and validated assurance
The self-assessment on this page is preliminary and not independently validated. The AI Security Assessment engagement is a structured advisory review with documented findings; it is not an independent validation or certification.
vCyberBoard Advisor does not issue ISO/IEC 42001 certificates. Formal certification is performed by an independent certification body.
Request an AI Security Assessment or Engagement.
One focused request: tell us what you need assessed or led and describe your AI estate. We review your request before the initial conversation.
Optional second step. Prefer to start with a short conversation? Use the direct contact above. Submitting an enquiry does not commit you to a paid engagement.
