Fractional CISO Engagement Journey

[Fractional CISO] [Real audit leadership] [No full-time overhead]

Hands-on security and compliance leadership for regulated organisations facing DORA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIS2.

Key Benefits of Fractional CISO

Stop drowning in compliance checklists. Start operating with confidence.
 
As a Fractional CISO, we embed senior security leadership into your organisation — without the €150k+ salary overhead. We design, implement, and run your security and compliance function until it actually works under real audit conditions.
 
 

You Might Need This If…

  • You’re facing DORA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or NIS2 deadlines with no security leader to own them
  • Your team assumes “the cloud is secure” but can’t prove it to auditors
  • You’re building a fintech, health-tech, healthcare or AI company and compliance is blocking your growth
  • You’ve outgrown your current security setup but aren’t ready for a full-time CISO

What You Get (The Outcomes, Not Just the Work)

  • Audit-Ready in Months, Not Years One unified control framework satisfies DORA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and customer audits simultaneously. No more duplicate work or conflicting requirements.
  • Clear Cloud Responsibility Stop the confusion about AWS/Azure/GCP security. We define exactly what your cloud provider handles vs. what you must prove to regulators in language auditors understand.
  • Risk Management That Actually Works Risk registers and control frameworks integrated into real business decisions, not documents that gather dust until audit time.
  • Direct Audit Defense we prepare the evidence, write the responses, and join regulator meetings with you. You face the audit; we make sure you pass it.
  • Predictable Monthly Investment 3-8 days per month, scaled to your audit schedule and maturity. No surprises, no long-term lock-in.
