About SideChannel

SideChannel was formed on the belief that cybersecurity and privacy are fundamental business requirements that every organization needs in order to thrive. We convened a team of former CISOs and security leaders from government, Fortune 500, tech, and other highly regulated industries, to make security possible for all.

On a mission to make cybersecurity simple and accessible

Cybersecurity is a growing issue for every organization, regardless of industry or size. So we founded SideChannel, believing that small and mid-sized organizations deserved the expertise of an experienced CISO just as much as a larger enterprise but at a reasonable cost. Today, we’re helping organizations worldwide improve cybersecurity and move their mission forward. Merging proven experience with an innovative virtual model, we act as a natural extension of your team — taking the time to identify your organization’s unique security gaps and offering the services and guidance required when they are needed.

Values that drive & guide our work.

Those values aren’t aspirational. They describe how SideChannel vCISOs run client programs — what gets prioritized, how findings get reported, and what “done” looks like.
