A full-time CISO easily costs € 10,000 to € 15,000 a month, if you can find one. With CISO as a Service you have an experienced interim CISO for a fixed number of days per month: for policy, risk, NIS2 and the questions from insurers, auditors and customers.
Your organisation is big enough to get security questions, but too small for its own security department. The board wants control, not a technical story. NIS2 or a major customer forces you to arrange something.
Where are you, what must you do (legally and contractually), what do you want? A clear picture within a week.
Security policy that fits your size. Not a binder full of paper, but agreements that work in practice. With a prioritised annual plan.
Monthly or fortnightly at the table: progress, incidents, suppliers, risks. The CISO is your point of contact towards insurers, auditors and customers.
One page for the board every quarter: where we stand, what happened, what we decide.
"Your team keeps the shop running; that's a full-time job. We look at your environment the way an attacker does. That's not a criticism, it's a different profession."Martijn Mol, Remarx
