Service overview
Put experienced security leadership at your table.
Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services combining fractional cybersecurity leadership, risk governance and Ceiba Law’s strategic and legal guidance.
A virtual Chief Information Security Officer provides experienced, fractional security leadership without a full-time executive hire. The role connects cybersecurity priorities with business objectives, budgets and accountable decision-making.
Ceiba Law brings strategic and legal guidance to your security program, working with our partner Astria Security for technical expertise as agreed in the engagement. Together, we help leadership turn risk assessments, contractual commitments and applicable legal requirements into a practical roadmap. Scope, reporting cadence and technical support are defined with you; the service does not replace your organization’s accountability.
Who it’s for
- Boards and executives who need cybersecurity leadership without a full-time CISO
- Growing organizations building or strengthening a security program
- Teams managing supplier risk, audit readiness or post-incident improvement
What it does
- 1
Assess security maturity and maintain a prioritized risk register and treatment plan
- 2
Develop a security roadmap, governance policies, budget priorities and executive reporting
- 3
Align security controls with applicable obligations and selected frameworks such as NIST CSF or ISO 27001
- 4
Coordinate third-party risk reviews, incident readiness and implementation with internal teams and Astria
Why work with us
Our holistic approach connects security engineering with business strategy and legal advice. Stephanie Sabatini and Jaspreet Kaur help translate technical risk into leadership decisions, while Astria contributes technical expertise within the agreed scope. Framework alignment and audit preparation are not guarantees of certification or compliance.

Germany passes its Cyber Resilience Act implementation law
The Bundestag passed the Act Implementing the Cyber Resilience Act, designating the BSI as Germany's market surveillance authority, notifying authority and coordinating CSIRT under the CRA. As market surveillance authority, the BSI can order noncompliant products with digital elements removed from the market. It will also act as a complaints office for consumer reports. The Act still requires Bundesrat approval. Once in force, provisions matching CRA obligations that already apply take effect the day after promulgation, and the remaining obligations follow the CRA's general application date of December 11, 2027.
