vCISO – your security in experienced hands
Information security – exactly to the extent you need it.
What is a vCISO / external ISO?
A virtual CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) or external information security officer is an external expert who takes responsibility for your information security strategy – without being permanently employed internally. They advise management, identify risks, develop security measures and accompany implementation – aligned with your industry, processes and regulatory requirements
For small and medium-sized companies or start-ups in particular, this flexible solution is often ideal: you benefit from expertise without having to create an internal full-time position.
Why external?
There are many reasons to outsource the role of the information security officer:
An in-house CISO or information security officer is not economical for many smaller companies – especially when there is no full-time need.
In many organisations, responsibility for IT, data protection and information security lies in one pair of hands – which can be problematic. An external officer brings independent expertise and acts neutrally.
Whether through NIS2, ISO 27001, TISAX, industry-specific standards or customer requirements – the demands keep rising.
Business partners increasingly demand evidence of information security, e.g. through audits, questionnaires or certificates. We help you meet these requirements systematically.
