External CISO: The Security Your Organization Needs – Flexible and Cost-Efficient

Lack of In-House Expertise in Information Security

Your IT department may not be sufficiently equipped to meet the growing demands on information security? A specialized CISO could be the solution to close gaps and take your security strategy to the next level.

Complexity of ISO 27001 Implementation

The requirements of ISO 27001 are extensive and can seem overwhelming. You need to make sure that all IT security standards are met without disrupting the day-to-day operations of your organization. Our virtual CISO service helps you make the entire process understandable and efficient while keeping an eye on your budget. An external vCISO also supports an ISMS according to VDA ISA (TISAX®) or the implementation of NIS-2 obligations under the BSI Act (BSIG). Under NIS-2, management remains responsible (Sec. 38 BSIG) – the vCISO prepares decisions and delivers the legally required training for management.

Need for Cost-Efficient Security Consulting Without a Full-Time Position

You need sound security expertise but do not want to carry the fixed costs of a full-time position? An external CISO delivers exactly the competence you need – scalable and at a predictable monthly fee.

If the focus is less on strategy and more on the operational running of the ISMS, the external information security officer (in German) is the more suitable model.

SPOC for All Security Requests

As your single point of contact (SPOC), we are your central contact for all questions relating to information security, cyber security and compliance. Whether internal or external requests – we coordinate everything and make sure your organization is optimally protected at all times.

Advising Management on All Security Matters

Our vCISO supports management at all levels by making strategic recommendations for improving your security architecture. We help you identify security risks and develop a sound, forward-looking security strategy.

Proactive Audits and Risk Management

We plan and organize regular internal audits and risk management reviews – the audits themselves are carried out by an independent auditor from our team who is not involved in your ISMS. This way, you avoid potential weaknesses and protect yourself against future risks.

Support With ISO 27001 Certification

From the gap analysis to a successful audit, our vCISO guides you through ISO 27001 certification, preparation for the TISAX® assessment or the implementation of NIS-2 obligations. We make sure that your organization meets all relevant requirements and that your certification runs smoothly, while offering continuous monitoring.

GAP Analysis – Understand Your Current Security Gaps

We start by jointly analyzing the current state of your information security. Through a detailed GAP analysis, we identify weaknesses that may expose your organization to security risks. We gain a comprehensive overview to understand exactly where your requirements lie and which security gaps need to be closed.

Roadmap and Concrete Offer – Based on the Results of the GAP Analysis

After the analysis, we create a tailored roadmap that sets out the route for implementing your security measures. On this basis, we provide you with a transparent offer adapted to your needs – so you always have a clear view of costs and services.

Kick-Off and Implementation – Start With a Clear Plan and Efficient Execution

Once you have accepted the offer, we start implementation quickly and efficiently. In a kick-off meeting, we finalize the plan and implement it in close cooperation with your team. Our goal: your security measures are seamlessly integrated into your operations and your ISO 27001 certification is achieved efficiently.

Consulting by ISO 27001 Lead Auditors

Our team consists of experienced ISO 27001 Lead Auditors with sound knowledge and extensive experience in implementing and auditing information security management systems (ISMS). We make sure that your security processes meet the requirements of ISO 27001. Our consultants on TISAX® support you in the automotive industry.

Experience Implementing Security Solutions for Mid-Sized Industrial Companies

We have extensive experience in advising on and implementing security solutions specifically for mid-sized industrial companies. Our approach is practice-oriented and tailored to the particular needs of your industry. We understand the challenges that organizations like yours face and offer tailored solutions that integrate seamlessly into your processes.

Support in Maintaining ISO 27001 Certification

ISO 27001 certification is an ongoing process that requires regular audits and continuous adaptation to new security requirements. Our vCISO service supports you not only with initial certification, but also with the long-term maintenance and improvement of your ISMS. We make sure that your certification always stays current and that your organization is always up to date with security requirements.
