What Is A Virtual Security Team™?

Engaging CSA in a Virtual Security Team™ (VST) partnership is a highly effective method of supporting a maturing Security Program. CSA provides exceptional talent and immediate support to assist in all aspects of security on a full-time, project, or fractional basis.

VST partnerships are flexible and customizable, offering not only role-specific support, but the backing of a diverse team of experienced Security professionals. Our entire team remains a resource that can be consulted during the length of the engagement, or engaged to provide project specific needs.

How Can A VST Partnership Support My Organization?

Client organizations use CSA’s Virtual Security Team™ capability to:

  • Lead Global Security Organizations with Fractional CSO support (Fractional Security Team™)
  • Provide immediate interim expertise in specialty areas of Security
  • Staff Security organizations at a lower cost than a full time team
  • Showcase high caliber talent to help reset Management expectations
  • Conduct an annual independent Security Maturity Assessment
  • Promote a client's open Security positions to the CSA Network

Fractional Support

Support provided by CSA’s Fractional Security Team™ involves experienced Security leaders working on a pre-determined basis, contributing their expertise, strategic direction, and guidance without the long-term commitment a full-time position brings.

Fractional support can be compared to the leasing of a vacation home – you may not wish to purchase and maintain a second home. Similarly, your organization may not wish to commit the resources for certain positions. The Fractional Security Team™ solves that problem.
