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. Meanwhile generative AI is making attacks more convincing, and customers, investors and partners expect proof that you take security and compliance seriously before they trust you with their data or their money. Without clear, continuous ownership of risk, compliance and incident readiness, the gaps will continue to go unnoticed until a regulator, an auditor or an attacker finds them.
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 current 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 cyber risks in your supply chain, so you can demonstrate oversight rather than just assume it.
Already juggling a growing list of regulations and standards, and not sure which ones actually apply to you?

Essential entities can face fines of up to €10 million or 2% of their global annual turnover, whichever is higher; important entities can face up to €7 million or 1.4% (source). Several Member States also introduced personal liability for management.

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 guide you through the 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. The engagement scales as your organisation evolves and its obligations grow.
A cyber incident response plan sets out who does what in the first hours and days of an incident, considering NIS2 and GDPR notification deadlines. A SOC monitors and detects; it doesn’t replace that plan. We help you design and test one, through tabletop exercises, together with our SOC and DFIR teams, so you are always ready when you need it.
