Chief Information Security Officer as a Service
Your CISO.
Not a full-time post.
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 provides 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 also be quite expensive. A full-time CISO makes perfect sense, but they only bring one perspective to the table.
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, these 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
We build up your expertise, rather than creating a dependency on us. Knowledge is transferred, and teams are empowered. If you no longer need us, you’ve done everything right.
It’s your scope that decides
Together, we define exactly what you need – from purely strategic matters right down to the operational details. The Statement of Work then sets out the framework. Transparent and binding.
A whole team
Holidays, illness, a change of job? Behind ‘CISO as a Service’ lies a team. Continuity is contractually guaranteed and reliable.
Experience and expertise
As we work for many companies at the same time, we are able to anticipate current threat landscapes, industry benchmarks and new attack patterns quickly and efficiently. We pass on this knowledge.
Compliance without buzzword bingo
NIS2, KRITIS, GDPR, ISO 27001, DORA – we’ll guide you through the requirements. And we’ll do so with specific, actionable measures.
Flexible scope of services
As little as possible.
As much as necessary.
In the joint Statement of Work, we define exactly where we’ll start. This may be purely strategic, or it may also involve operational tasks. Here are a few examples and extracts of the tasks a CISO as a Service can undertake.
- Security Strategy & Roadmap
- Management Reports & Board Communication
- Risk analyses & security needs assessments
- Establishing or assessing an ISMS in accordance with ISO 27001
- Support for IT teams in making specific decisions
- Incident Response & Emergency Coordination
