As-a-service
Not all businesses need or can afford full-time security officers, but the need for security leadership is critical. Our CISO and DPO as a Service offerings provide you with top-tier security and privacy expertise on-demand, for a fraction of the cost of hiring a full time employee. .
CISO as a Service
Gain access to experienced Chief Information Security Officers who will oversee your cybersecurity strategy, ensure ongoing compliance, and provide insights on emerging threats.
What are the benefits of CISO as-a-service model?
Flexibility – CISOaaS can be tailored to complement your in-house capabilities with specialist skills in specific areas where you may not have the skills or capabilities available full time.
Scalability – the service can be scaled up or down with your workload and demand, for example, you may want to ramp up the service when you are kicking off a new program, and then scale down again when returning to business-as-usual operations.
Responsiveness – having a CISOaaS on demand means you can get access to specialist skills or assistance at short notice when you need it.
Cost-effective – the cost of CISOaaS is typically a fraction of what it would cost to have a full-time CISO.
Objectivity balanced with inside knowledge – a long term relationship with CISOaaS often provides the right balance between the knowledge of an insider with the objective perspective of an external adviser.
Continuity – on average CISO roles turn over every 2 years. CISOaaS from an organisation with a number of experienced specialists as backup for each other means no staff turnover or periods when you have no CISO capability onboard.
Access to a range of expertise – every CISO comes with their own unique background and experience. CISOaaS can provide you access to multiple different skillsets for less than the cost of an individual CISO.
Proven methodology – CISOaaS is based on proven methodologies and approaches to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the service, not just “body shopping” of experienced people.
Suitable for Small Business to large Enterprise
DPO as a Service
Leverage expert Data Protection Officers to manage your GDPR compliance, conduct data protection impact assessments, and ensure your data processing practices are secure.
What are the benefits of DPO as-a-service model?
Expertise and Compliance: DPOaaS provides access to qualified data protection experts who ensure compliance with GDPR and other relevant data protection laws. These experts are well-versed in conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), monitoring data processing activities, and advising on compliance strategies.
Cost-Effectiveness: By outsourcing the DPO role, organizations can reduce costs associated with hiring and training full-time staff. This model also eliminates potential conflicts of interest that might arise if the DPO were an internal employee.
Comprehensive Support: The service includes a wide range of support activities such as managing data breach responses, liaising with supervisory authorities, and providing ongoing compliance assessments and training.
Independence: An outsourced DPO offers independence from other business functions, which is crucial for maintaining objectivity in data protection matters. This independence helps avoid conflicts of interest that could compromise data protection efforts.
Scalability and Flexibility: DPOaaS can be tailored to meet the specific needs of an organization, whether it requires full-time support or occasional guidance. This flexibility allows businesses to scale their data protection efforts in line with their growth and changing regulatory requirements.
Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting: The service involves regular monitoring of data protection practices and reporting to senior management. This ensures that any potential issues are identified and addressed promptly.
Training and Awareness: DPOaaS providers often offer training sessions to enhance the organization's understanding of data protection obligations, thereby fostering a culture of compliance within the company.
Legal and Technical Guidance: Providers offer legal advice on data protection policies and help implement technical safeguards to protect personal data effectively. They also assist in drafting and reviewing legal documents related to data protection.
This flexible model allows you to scale security leadership as needed, providing both short-term solutions and long-term guidance tailored to your business needs.
