Frequently Asked Questions

Not exactly. I combine the worlds of technology management (CIO) and information security (CISO). While a classic external CISO often focuses only on regulation and security checklists, I ensure your IT serves your business goals. This includes everything: from vendor oversight and budget planning, to building a technology Roadmap that lets you sleep well at night – both operationally and security-wise.

Your IT company is responsible for Execution – keeping servers running and resolving issues. I operate at the Planning and Governance level. I serve as the "owner's representative" vis-à-vis your technology vendors. My role is to ensure they're doing the right work, meeting SLA and required standards, and that you're paying a fair price for what you actually need.

This is a model that allows organizations to benefit from the experience and knowledge of a senior technology executive, without the cost of employing such a manager full-time. You get the strategic and managerial "brain" in exactly the dosage your business needs – whether it's regular weekly support or focused project management.

The service is designed for companies of all sizes (SMBs, SMEs, and Scale-ups) at a growth point. These are typically companies that have realized they're too big to manage IT "on the side," but still don't need a full-time technology and security manager. It's the ideal solution for businesses that want to stop "putting out fires," organize their infrastructure and vendors, and ensure technology supports business growth instead of hindering it.

My role is to manage the selection and procurement process for you. Thanks to my deep familiarity with the market and a wide network of vendors and partners, I help you define and choose the most precise solutions for your needs. I accompany the procurement end-to-end to ensure you get the right technical solution on the best terms.

The process starts with mapping the current state (Assessment) – identifying gaps in infrastructure, security, and vendors. Then we build a Roadmap together with clear priorities (Quick Wins vs. deep processes). From there, I accompany you through implementation: managing vendors, controlling the budget, and ensuring projects progress according to the plan and goals we defined.
