CISO as a Service
Security leadership, on tap
Senior, hands-on security leadership that sets direction, prioritises risk, and keeps your organisation moving forward, without hiring a full-time executive
Most engagements start within four weeks.
Strong security rarely fails because of technology
It fails because there's no clear ownership, no consistent direction, and no one translating risk into decisions the business can act on. CISO as a Service fills that gap. We become part of your organisation, not an external voice that drops a report and disappears.
What's included
What CISO as a Service covers
Senior security leadership embedded in your programme. Six areas of ownership from day one.
Define what security should look like for your business. Realistic priorities, balancing risk, compliance, and growth.
Maintain the risk register. Own treatment decisions. Bring risk into business conversations, not just security ones.
Translate posture into board language. Monthly or quarterly reporting structured around what leadership needs to decide.
Policies, control ownership, and the security management system that ties everything together. Aligned to ISO 27001 if relevant.
Coordinate audit cycles, evidence gathering, and remediation. ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS2, DORA, and many more, as applicable.
Coordinate with offensive testing, training, SOC, and incident response so security operates as one programme.
