For freelance vCISOs

You lead the mandate. We bring the client and the tools.

We are looking for experienced CISOs who lead vCISO mandates with Cybervize as freelancers. You bring audit practice and leadership experience. We bring the mandates, our methodology and the OdySecure platform, where the evidence and the monthly report are produced.

Memberships, programmes and partnerships

  • BSI Allianz für Cyber-Sicherheit
  • CISPA Helmholtz-Zentrum für Informationssicherheit
  • TeleTrusT - Bundesverband IT-Sicherheit
  • IT Security Made in Germany - TeleTrusT

What the partnership gives you

You work independently, but not alone.

01

Mandates

Cybervize wins the mandates, you lead them. You do not need your own business development to work as a vCISO.

02

Tools

OdySecure is included in the mandate. Risk register, measures and the monthly report to the management board come from one data set rather than your own spreadsheets.

03

Methodology

The approach and templates all our vCISOs work with. Every mandate follows the same methodology and therefore holds up equally well in front of auditors.

One role, freelance. At present we are only looking for freelance vCISOs.
