Compliance is overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. For vCSOs feeling the pressure, the smartest move is to start with what matters most: Cyber Insurability. Meeting the requirements for cyber insurance gives you a strong baseline, providing protection while addressing fundamental cybersecurity controls. 

As we approach 2025, Chief Security Officers (CSOs) face escalating pressures to navigate an evolving compliance landscape while justifying budgets that can protect and grow their organizations. Stakeholders expect more than reactive measures—they demand proactive solutions that align with business objectives, protect critical data, and meet rigorous regulatory standards.

Non-profits face unique challenges when it comes to cybersecurity. They’re often strapped for resources, dependent on donations, and understaffed. But whether they realize it or not, non-profits are just as much in the crosshairs of hackers as a multinational company.

In an increasingly hostile digital landscape, the CSO is no longer merely responsible for protecting IT infrastructure; they are now a key player in risk management, ensuring that their organizations remain resilient in the face of constant cyber threats.
