Trusted by security leaders
Partnering with SideChannel’s vCISO services was a game-changer for our organization. Their expertise and tailored approach transformed our cybersecurity posture, turning our vulnerabilities into strengths. We’ve not only enhanced our defenses but also streamlined our processes, making security a seamless part of our daily operations. The impact on our organization’s security and overall confidence in facing digital threats has been remarkable.
Working with SideChannel’s vCISO services brought a level of cybersecurity expertise to our company that we couldn’t have achieved on our own. Their team didn’t just address our immediate security concerns; they provided a strategic, long-term vision that has fundamentally strengthened our organization’s resilience against cyber threats. It’s been an invaluable partnership, elevating our security infrastructure and instilling a robust culture of cybersecurity awareness throughout our team.
Working with SideChannel, it was great to have a guide to explain the significance of the steps of what the grade and the goal of each. The guidance offered what needed to get done, and in what order, couched with ‘hey, some of these things are complex, some of these things take longer, some of these things are more critical. It felt very bespoke and that’s something that you only get with a specialist and I just think it’s fantastic.
Our SideChannel vCISO is an integral member of our executive team. He understands our unique challenges, the evolving security landscape, and best of breed technologies. Now we have a trusted advisor who has improved our security posture in a measurable way.
I’m not a particularly patient guy, but I’ve never had an instance where I felt like I was waiting on SideChannel.

Frequently asked questions
What is cybersecurity engineering?
Cybersecurity engineering is the hands-on work of building, remediating, and running the technical controls that keep an organization protected and compliant. It covers designing a security program, closing the gaps found in audits and assessments, and managing the tools and infrastructure that enforce security day to day: the build, fix, and run work that turns a security strategy into a working program.
What is fractional cybersecurity engineering?
Fractional cybersecurity engineering gives an organization experienced security engineers scoped to what its program actually needs, instead of the cost of a full in-house engineering team. SideChannel's engagements are right-sized to your program, and its engineers have built and run security programs before and stay current with the tools and threats that affect yours.
What cybersecurity engineering services does SideChannel offer?
SideChannel's cybersecurity engineering services span program development, remediation, gap analysis, solution management, and project management. That means building a security program tailored to your organization, remediating findings from audits, assessments, and penetration tests, identifying and closing gaps in your current posture, managing the implementation and operation of your security solutions, and coordinating each initiative so it stays on schedule and on budget.
How does SideChannel's engineering team work with our staff?
SideChannel's engineers work alongside your internal staff for the full engagement, from assessment through implementation and ongoing management. The team starts by understanding your challenges and objectives, then builds solutions that fit your existing processes and infrastructure rather than replacing them.
How does cybersecurity engineering relate to a vCISO engagement?
Cybersecurity engineering is the execution side of the same program a vCISO leads: SideChannel's engineers build, remediate, and run the security programs its vCISOs design, closing the gaps an assessment identifies. It delivers the strategy and the infrastructure from the same team, and pairs with SideChannel's fractional security services and vCISO leadership.
