FAQ

Questions about cyber strategy & advisory.

What is a fractional CISO?

A fractional (or virtual) CISO is an experienced security leader who works with an organization part-time. They own the security strategy, advise leadership and steer the security program, without the cost of a full-time executive hire.

Which framework do you use for maturity assessments?

We typically assess against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 or ISO/IEC 27001 and map the results to the regulations that apply to you, such as the Swiss nDSG, NIS2, DORA or FINMA requirements.

Can you work with our existing security team?

Yes. We work alongside internal IT and security teams, adding an independent view and additional capacity rather than replacing them.
