Regulators are tightening cyber obligations under NIS2, DORA, the Cyber Resilience Act, the AI Act and GDPR, and increasingly hold your management team personally accountable when they aren’t met, not only the business. At the same time, generative AI is making attacks more convincing, and customers, investors and partners increasingly expect proof that you take security and compliance seriously before they trust you with their data or their money. Without a governance structure that keeps risk, compliance and incident readiness under continuous ownership, the gaps go unnoticed until a regulator, an auditor or an attacker finds them first.
Your concerns, our answers
We’re being asked for proof of our cybersecurity. What do we actually give them?
A recognised certification or audited compliance report, such as ISO 27001, backed by the management system that keeps it valid year after year, not a one-off audit.
We can’t justify a full-time CISO, but we need that level of oversight.
Our CISO as a Service gives you an experienced CISO and a supporting team, covering strategy, risk, compliance and incident response, without the cost of a full-time hire.
One of our suppliers could be our weakest link, and NIS2 makes us responsible for that too.
We continuously assess and manage the cyber risk in your supply chain, so you can demonstrate that oversight rather than just assume it.
Already juggling a growing list of regulations and standards, and not sure which ones actually apply to you?
Choose your Services

For investors, this extends to security ratings and cyber due diligence support ahead of a transaction.
Ongoing strategic guidance and hands-on delivery, either as an extension of your existing CISO, or, if you don’t have one, as a fully outsourced CISO function covering strategy, risk management, compliance and incident response.
We lead and support your compliance effort against the laws, regulations and standards that apply to you, implementing, auditing and improving your management systems on the way to certification, including a dedicated, EU-hosted reporting channel and outsourced liaison agent for the EU Whistleblower Directive.
Continuous assessment and management of the cyber risk in your supply chain, aligned with NIS2, so you can identify weak links before they become yours and demonstrate that oversight to your own customers.

A recognised certification such as ISO 27001, or an equivalent framework, backed by the management system that keeps it valid year after year. We help you choose the right standard for your sector and lead you through implementation, internal audit and certification.
For most SMEs, yes. You get an experienced CISO and a supporting team, covering strategy, risk, compliance and incident response, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, and the engagement scales as your organisation and its obligations grow.
A cyber incident response plan sets out who does what in the first hours and days of an incident, including your NIS2 and GDPR notification deadlines. A SOC detects and monitors; it doesn’t replace that plan. We help you design and test one, including tabletop exercises, alongside our SOC and DFIR teams for when it’s needed for real.
