Mid-market and corporate

Enterprise rigour at mid-market pace

We work with owner-led companies, with hidden champions employing several thousand people, and with large corporates that still think mid-market.

What we mean by mid-market

For us, mid-market is not a head-count, it is a mindset.

The classic definition stops at 500 employees. Our experience says otherwise: family-led hidden champions with 3,000 or 5,000 employees carry the label with good reason. They think like owners, decide quickly and measure their cybersecurity by business outcome, not by compliance theatre.

The same mindset shows up inside large corporates that have stayed mid-market in spirit: plants, subsidiaries, newly created business units. They all want enterprise substance without enterprise overhead. That is what we work for: in a vCISO mandate or with OdySecure, the security platform by Cybervize.

Three starting points, two ways

The trigger is usually a regulatory requirement, a vacant CISO role or an acquisition. Which way fits depends on whether a CISO function is staffed in-house: without a CISO of your own, our vCISO takes it on; with your own team, you license OdySecure.

Classic mid-market

Size:: Owner-led, without a dedicated security department.
Shape:: Growth from cash flow, one IT lead with a mixed remit, often an external IT provider with broad responsibility.
Typical challenges:: Regulatory requirements such as NIS-2 or the demands of customers and insurers, with nobody in-house to lead them and provide the evidence.
What we contribute:: vCISO mandate from €3,600/month: a senior CISO takes on the function, and OdySecure is the tool within it, included in the mandate.

Hidden champion

Size:: 500 to 15,000 employees, often family-led, international subsidiaries.
Shape:: Market leader in a niche, OT/IT convergence on the shop floor, advisory or supervisory board with reporting expectations, multi-site reality.
Typical challenges:: NIS-2 and IEC 62443 obligations in parallel across several sites, plus the vacancy when the CISO role falls empty.
What we contribute:: Your own team: OdySecure licensed across all sites with a consolidated group report and local owner roles. An Interim CISO for vacancies.

Large corporate with mid-market mindset

Size:: 15,000 employees and more, listed or family-controlled.
Shape:: Regulated industries, board and supervisory-board reporting, multi-country footprint, auditor acceptance as a hard requirement.
Typical challenges:: Acquisitions and carve-outs, method consistency across subsidiaries and plants, migration away from an oversized GRC suite.
What we contribute:: Your own team: OdySecure licensed and introduced module by module, with audit-ready evidence. An Interim CISO for vacancies, cyber due diligence for acquisitions.

Why this works credibly

Cybervize bridges two worlds that rarely meet in the advisory market.

OdySecure maps the methodology of our mandates, with 50 frameworks held as a catalogue. Mandate and platform use the same control catalogues and the same audit logic.

In a vCISO mandate a senior CISO works with this platform, at a fixed monthly price instead of open T&M hours. With your own team, your IT leadership runs the platform itself, under a licence at a fixed annual price.

That is the bridge: enterprise substance in the tool, mid-market pace in operation. Hidden champions get the same instrument as the listed corporate, on their own timeline. Corporates that still think mid-market get both sides in one platform.
