Strategic Security Leadership
Without the Full-Time Overhead
Our vCISO and Deputy CISO services provide experienced, embedded leadership to guide your security program, align with business strategy, and build enduring, risk-informed operations.
How does this improve our security posture?
We assess current gaps, prioritize risks, and build a tailored roadmap. You’ll gain strategic clarity, improved controls, better alignment with frameworks like NIST or ISO, and measurable maturity over time.
We are not temporary help. We are accountability partners, focused on helping you mature your security program in a way that aligns to how your business operates.
What kind of experience does Timberline bring?
Our advisors have served as CISOs and operational leaders in high-stakes environments. We bring real-world leadership, not just compliance expertise. We are focused on execution and outcomes.
What outcomes should we expect from this service?
You’ll gain a clearer understanding of your risks, a security roadmap tied to business goals, improved stakeholder communication, and hands-on leadership to drive maturity and audit readiness.
What’s the difference between a vCISO and Deputy CISO?
A vCISO typically owns the security program, providing strategic direction and operational oversight. A Deputy CISO supports your existing security leader, filling gaps, strengthening execution, and serving as a trusted second-in-command.
In today’s environment, cybersecurity can’t be reactionary or siloed. It must be embedded into business strategy. Our vCISO and Deputy CISO services provide executive-level security leadership without the full-time headcount, helping organizations anticipate threats, reduce risk, and meet growing regulatory expectations.
Whether you’re scaling security from scratch or supporting an existing CISO, we bring the judgment, structure, and executive experience needed to lead. We don’t just advise—we drive programs forward, manage teams, and report to boards. You’ll gain strategic alignment, stronger controls, and a trusted partner in critical moments.
We help you establish risk frameworks, oversee compliance, lead security operations, and connect cybersecurity to business outcomes. Our approach is hands-on, practical, and tailored to your maturity level. With Timberline, security becomes a strategic enabler—resilient, adaptable, and built to endure
