Chief Information Security Officer as a Service

Your CISO.
Not a full-time position.

With CISO as a Service, you get experienced security leadership that really gets stuck in. Whether this is purely strategic or also operational depends on the framework agreed in advance. Whether by the hour, day, week or month – this model offers you flexibility and a CISO tailored to your specific needs.

Our aim is to make ourselves redundant through targeted skills development and knowledge transfer.

CISO AS A SERVICE

The challenge

Information security is a top priority
but whose?

Full-time CISO

They are hard to find and, as an experienced CISO, can be quite expensive. Having a full-time CISO makes perfect sense, but it only offers one perspective.

Freelancer

Holidays, illness, workload – freelancers are a risk factor. This needs to be carefully considered, particularly when it comes to safety responsibilities.

Compliance

NIS2, ISO 27001, KRITIS – regulatory requirements are increasing. Without clear lines of responsibility, issues will remain unresolved, with consequences likely to follow soon.

What sets us apart

We are
Sparring partner.

Sparring on equal terms

We don’t just put pen to paper. Our CISO works directly with your teams: asking questions, explaining things and helping to make decisions. On an equal footing with IT, management and business units.

Targeted skills development icon

We build up your expertise, not a dependency on us. Knowledge is transferred, and teams are empowered. If you no longer need us, you’ve done everything right.

Together, we define exactly what you need – from purely strategic to highly operational. The Statement of Work then sets out the framework. Transparent and binding.

NIS2, KRITIS, GDPR, ISO 27001, DORA – we’ll guide you through the requirements. And we’ll do so with concrete, actionable measures.

Flexible scope of services

As little as possible.
As much as necessary.

In our joint Statement of Work, we set out exactly what we will be doing. This may be purely strategic, or it may also involve operational tasks. Here are a few examples and excerpts of the tasks that a CISO as a Service can undertake.

  • Security Strategy & Roadmap
  • Management Reports & Board Communication
  • Risk analyses & security needs assessment
  • Implementation or assessment of an ISMS in accordance with ISO 27001
  • Support for IT teams in making specific decisions
  • Incident Response & Emergency Coordination
As little as possible.
