Why Your Organisation Needs a CISO in Chile
Chile's Cybersecurity Framework Law (Law 21,663) created the National Cybersecurity Agency (ANCI) and obliges providers of essential services and operators of vital importance to manage cyber risk, appoint a cybersecurity delegate and report incidents within hours. Banks follow the CMF's RAN 20-10, and the new data protection law (Law 21,719) applies from December 2026. A CISO who owns these duties is essential — and an outsourced CISO makes it affordable.
With our outsourced CISO (virtual CISO, vCISO) service, an experienced information security leader takes on the CISO role for your organisation as a managed service — a few days per month, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, and without recruitment or turnover risk.
What Your vCISO Takes Care Of
- Security strategy and roadmap — A clear information security strategy aligned with your business objectives, risk appetite and regulatory obligations
- Governance and policies — Security organisation, roles and responsibilities, and a complete set of information security policies
- Risk management — Identification, assessment and treatment of information security risks, including third-party and supply chain risks
- Regulatory compliance — Mapping the cybersecurity requirements that apply to you and keeping evidence ready for regulators, auditors and customers
- ISO 27001 certification — Leading the implementation of your Information Security Management System (ISMS) up to the certification audit
- Incident readiness — Incident response plan, reporting procedures within the legal deadlines and regular exercises
- Management reporting — Security metrics and risks translated into business language for management and the board
- Awareness — Security awareness training so that your employees recognise and report threats
Cybersecurity Requirements in Chile
Your vCISO keeps your security programme aligned with the frameworks that apply to your organisation:
- Cybersecurity Framework Law (Law 21,663) — Cybersecurity management, a cybersecurity delegate and incident reporting to the ANCI (early alert within 3 hours) for essential services and operators of vital importance
- CMF RAN 20-10 — Information security and cybersecurity management for banks and other entities supervised by the CMF
- Law 21,719 — The new personal data protection law with security and breach notification duties, applicable from December 2026
- ISO/IEC 27001 — The international standard for information security management systems
