As your virtual Chief Information Security Officer we take responsibility for the overall security management in your organisation. This means owning security strategy and policy, overseeing controls, vendors and third parties, supporting incident response, as well as reporting to relevant stakeholders. Scope can be organisation-wide or limited to a specific unit.
For organisations building software products, security leadership includes secure development governance. This is particularly relevant for teams facing obligations under EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
Who is this for?
The service fits organisations where information security have become a recurring topic.
You manage security as a technological issue, but there is no dedicated program and security is not specifically addressed during strategic planning. Perhaps you’re preparing to close your first enterprise deal, or you’ve entered a regulatory scope and informal security management is not enough. You need someone competent to own the function, but you are not ready for a full-time executive.
If this resonates with you, you’re in the right place.
With us you get ...
Consistent security leadership and oversight, without hiring a full-time executive:
- External expertise and experience
- A strategy aligned with business objectives
- Policies and controls tailored to your needs
- A coherent program, instead of disconnected initiatives
Leading security is rooted in proper risk management processes. If you lack the capability, we can help.
We're not your best choice if ...
This service isn’t for everyone. We’re upfront about where we’re not the right choice:
- You’re a large enterprise needing a full-time, on-site executive
- You have security managed, but you lack technical capacity like penetration testers or SOC analysts
- You want someone to rubber-stamp decisions rather than challenge them
A project-based engagement to build or consolidate your information security management system (ISMS). We assess your current state, identify gaps, design controls and lead you through the complete process — including certification and preparing your team for ongoing operation.
tailored to your context
without the consultant dependency
Who this is for?
Regardless if you are looking to get certified or not, this service is for organisations wanting to establish a proven framework for managing information security. Perhaps you’re entering a regulated market, a customer made it a requirement, your board wants to demonstrate maturity to investors, or you simply care and want to rely on proven methods. You manage the function, but need someone to establish the system.
Need guidance only?
If you already have internal capability and only need support related to ISO/IEC 27001, we offer an advisory package in which you build the system at your own pace and we provide guidance as needed. This is based on our Review & Advice service below, but packaged to include an introduction to the framework, gap analysis, and regular check-ins.
Need something else?
If ISO/IEC 27001 certification is not your immediate priority, we can still help. Perhaps your focus is on meeting a specific regulation, or you want to establish baseline security using a control framework like CIS Controls. We can focus directly on your compliance target, and implement lean ISMS processes that give you structure without the certification overhead. Get in touch and we’ll check the details.
Sometimes you need focused support rather than a long-term engagement. A second opinion on your methodology, a gap analysis against a framework, a maturity benchmark, preparation for a customer audit, or guidance on a specific security decision. Scoped to what you need.
About us and our approach to security
NoFuss Consulting is an independent consultancy specialising in risk and security governance. We help organisations build and operate management systems that enable due diligence through transparency and clarity.
We come from a strong technical background, but years of experience in security have taught us that a capable team and management support are not enough. To be successful, security needs consistent governance through a management system that drives continual improvement.
Security governance is, at its core, a business-level function. Information is among the most valuable assets organisations hold, yet information security is too often treated as a technical concern. Even when security has a seat at the table, a gap in language between security teams and the business often remains. We set out to help organisations close that gap by building not only their security, but also their risk management capability.
