Senior security leadership on a fractional basis. We embed an experienced CISO into your organisation to set strategy, brief the board, and steer your security programme without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
CISO-as-a-Service suits organisations that need senior leadership but don't yet require a full-time CISO, that need interim cover during transitions, or that want experienced oversight alongside an existing internal team. Our service includes:
Strategic Programme Leadership
Setting the direction of your security programme, prioritising work against business risk, and steering investment decisions. We work as part of your leadership team, with regular cadence and visibility into the work that matters.
Board and Executive Reporting
Translating technical risk into the language your board and executive committee actually use. Briefing papers, board updates, and decision support, prepared with the seniority and pacing your governance forums expect.
Risk and Compliance Oversight
Ensuring your security programme aligns with regulatory obligations and recognised frameworks, including NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001, and DORA where relevant. We own the conversation with auditors and regulators when needed.
Vendor and Supplier Engagement
Representing the security function in conversations with third parties, suppliers, and partners. Negotiating security clauses, reviewing assessments, and challenging suppliers on commitments where they matter.
Incident Leadership
Providing senior oversight when incidents occur, taking responsibility for decision-making, communications, and post-incident review. We work alongside our SOC and Incident Response services when those are also engaged.
Team Development and Coaching
Mentoring your internal security team, identifying capability gaps, and supporting recruitment and onboarding decisions. The goal is always to leave your team stronger than we found it.
