Chief Information Security Officer
Without a CISO, you lack an overview, control, and a firm grasp of your information security. You’re exposed to risks and struggle to comply with laws and regulations. But a good CISO is hard to find and expensive. With our CISO-as-a-Service, you get an experienced expert right away. It’s flexible, scalable, and comes without fixed payroll costs. You focus on your business; we’ll take care of your cybersecurity.
CISO Services
Every industry has its own challenges. Our CISOs tailor governance and compliance strategies to address them effectively.
OneXillium x Government
Government agencies are under pressure: stricter regulations such as BIO, NIS2, and GDPR, coupled with tighter budgets. Our CISO-as-a-Service offers affordable expertise, helps you maintain demonstrable compliance, and keeps your information security under control.
OneXillium x Housing Associations
Housing associations process vast amounts of sensitive tenant data. At the same time, it can be difficult to maintain sufficient in-house expertise. Our CISOs ensure that you remain demonstrably compliant with the GDPR, BIC 4.0, and, in the future, the Cybersecurity Act (NIS2).
OneXillium x Financial Services
With DORA on the horizon, information security requirements are becoming even stricter. Our CISOs know the industry, work closely with your team, and ensure that you comply with DORA and the GDPR.
OneXillium x Trade & Industry
Protect your intellectual property—such as technical drawings, formulas, or R&D results—even when it’s with partners or in the cloud. Our CISO helps with policies, access rights, visibility, and control across the entire information chain—without requiring you to hire a full-time CISO.
Benefits for Your Organization
These customers have gone before you
CISO-as-a-Service
For a fixed monthly fee, you get an experienced Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). They’ll handle everything related to your information security: policies, audits, and compliance with the GDPR, NIS2, and DORA. Pretty handy, right?
Why Choose an External CISO?
It’s hard to find an in-house CISO. The role is complex, and the market is tight. CISO-as-a-Service solves that problem. No recruitment, no waiting—get started right away. Plus, an external CISO is independent. It’s not like a butcher inspecting his own meat.
How does CISO-as-a-Service work in practice?
We start by analyzing people, processes, and technology. This allows us to assess your current level of maturity. We then determine, based on your objectives and applicable laws and regulations, where you need to be. We translate that gap into a roadmap, which we implement with a dedicated CISO and a proven approach.
