Meet your critical cybersecurity staffing needs with a Virtual Security Team

For research facilities that face challenges meeting their cybersecurity goals due to personnel shortages, budget constraints, or lack of time and expertise, engaging a ResearchSOC Virtual Security Team can provide a cost-effective, rapid-implementation method to address key cybersecurity needs.

Virtual, fractional, dedicated expertise

The ResearchSOC Virtual Security Team helps meet those needs with a team of cybersecurity professionals experienced in supporting open science research projects. The Team augments, but does not replace, existing research organization employees.

Under the provisions of a contract or grant, the team designs a cybersecurity program that addresses priority oridentified cybersecurity needs with a group of fractional employees. For example, a team could have a remote CISO @.3 FTE, 1 or 2 remote Security Analysts at .45 FTE, and access to an on-call (“break glass”) incident response team.

Tiered packages for budget flexibility

ResearchSOC offers levels of partnership to meet differences in organizations’ needs, budgets, risk tolerances, and program maturity. Tiered pricing levels, based on either grant or contract funding, are available upon request.
