Why Your Organisation Needs a CISO in Peru
In Peru, the Digital Trust Framework (Emergency Decree 007-2020) requires organisations to report digital security incidents to the National Digital Security Centre, the SBS sets binding information security and cybersecurity requirements for financial institutions, and public entities must implement the NTP-ISO/IEC 27001. The new regulation of the Personal Data Protection Law also tightens security measures. A CISO who leads this 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 Peru
Your vCISO keeps your security programme aligned with the frameworks that apply to your organisation:
- Digital Trust Framework (DU 007-2020) — Digital security incident reporting to the National Digital Security Centre and digital trust obligations
- SBS Resolution 504-2021 — Regulation on information security and cybersecurity management for entities supervised by the SBS
- NTP-ISO/IEC 27001 — Mandatory information security management system for public entities under the Digital Government framework
- Law 29733 and its regulation — Security measures for personal data under the Personal Data Protection Law and its new regulation (Supreme Decree 016-2024-JUS)
- ISO/IEC 27001 — The international standard for information security management systems
