At Civic-Shield, we deliver executive-level security leadership without the full-time overhead. Our Virtual Chief Security Officer (vCSO) services provide organizations with the strategic guidance, risk management, and crisis readiness they need to stay protected in today’s evolving threat landscape.

We act as your trusted security advisor — developing policies, preparing response plans, aligning operations with industry best practices, leading executive briefings, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Our vCSO deliverables include:

• Security program design and policy development
• Risk and vulnerability assessments with remediation roadmaps
• Emergency preparedness and crisis response leadership
• Board and executive-level security reporting
• Vendor and technology evaluation and oversight
• Cybersecurity governance and access control reviews
• Security awareness and leadership training for staff

From board-level strategy to day-to-day oversight, Civic-Shield ensures your organization is not only prepared, but resilient.

Our supporting services — including Active Threat Preparedness Training, Risk Assessments, Emergency Planning, Cybersecurity Reviews, and Security Awareness Programs — complement our vCSO leadership model, creating a comprehensive, scalable security solution for businesses, schools, and communities alike.

With decades of real-world experience in law enforcement, emergency management, and corporate security, we help organizations protect their people, assets, and reputation while avoiding the cost of a full-time executive hire.

Civic-Shield: Courage. Confidence. Community.
