External Information Security Officer
Certification support with an external Information Security Officer (ISO)
When new security structures and processes for certifications are established and implemented or recertifications are pending, organizations may find themselves without the temporary support they need - especially when budgeting constraints don’t allow for a dedicated internal department. A temporary specialist could be the answer, providing a reliable resource for questions that arise and guidance through mandated processes.
By temporarily employing a trusted information security officer, you receive exactly the help you need for a predetermined period of time to answer questions that arise or to implement required processes.
We offer a cost-effective alternative to an in-house, full-time data security expert.
Our information security officers are available exactly when you need them and can help you achieve your specific goals, whether preparing for (re-)certification, risk analysis and the implementation of security measures or training on data and information security.
