vCISO & Advisory
SMARTSEC’s vCISO and advisory services provide experienced, independent security leadership without the overhead of a full-time executive hire. We work alongside your leadership team to shape security strategy, improve governance, and ensure security decisions are aligned to real business risk, regulatory expectations, and operational reality.
Our approach is pragmatic and threat-informed, combining strategic oversight with hands-on advisory support. Whether you need ongoing security leadership, targeted advisory input, or support navigating complex regulatory and risk challenges, we help you build a measurable, defensible security posture that stands up to both attackers and auditors.
Virtual CISO Services (Strategic + Operational)
Our Virtual CISO service delivers senior-level security leadership, covering strategy, governance, and day-to-day decision-making to help organisations mature their security capability at a sustainable pace. We act as a trusted advisor to leadership, bridging the gap between technical teams, business objectives, and regulatory requirements.
Security Maturity Assessments (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, DORA)
We assess your current security maturity against recognised frameworks to identify gaps, strengths, and priority improvement areas. The outcome is a clear, actionable view of where you stand today and a practical roadmap to achieve measurable improvement aligned to your risk profile and regulatory obligations.
Policy & Governance Frameworks
We design and refine security policies and governance frameworks that are practical, proportionate, and embedded into how your organisation actually operates. Our focus is on policies that enable good security decisions, support compliance, and can be evidenced in real-world scenarios.
