CISO as a Service

RaulWalter’s CISO-as-a-Service provides organisations with an experienced information security leader who ensures continuous oversight, management, and coordination of security processes.

RaulWalter’s CISO-as-a-Service provides organisations with an experienced information security leader who ensures continuous oversight, management, and coordination of security processes— without the cost of a full-time in-house position. The service covers the maintenance and development of the Information Security Management System (ISMS), risk management, security policies and procedure governance, incident handling, supplier security oversight, employee awareness activities, and regular reporting to senior management.

Our approach is based on ISO 27001 and E-ITS requirements, and we use the Cybsis platform to ensure a systematic methodology and a clear evidential basis for audits. With our CISO service, organisations can keep their information security consistently under control, mitigate risks, and maintain compliance with legal and contractual obligations.

CISO as a Service is not outsourced responsibility and not a temporary fix. It is a structured, continuous leadership function that ensures information security is managed deliberately, proportionately, and in line with regulatory expectations.

Our role is to stay accountable for the system, keep it operational, and ensure that information security remains under control — even when priorities shift elsewhere.

Continuous Security Leadership and Oversight

CISO as a Service provides ongoing information security leadership without embedding a full-time executive role into the organisation. The focus is not day-to-day IT operations, but governance, prioritisation, and decision support at management level.

The CISO role ensures that information security remains visible, structured, and actively managed — even when internal resources are limited or fragmented.

Our role:

  • act as the organisation’s information security lead

  • coordinate security-related activities across functions

  • provide management-level visibility and accountability

ISMS Maintenance and Risk Management

We maintain and evolve the Information Security Management System (ISMS) in line with ISO 27001 and E-ITS requirements. This includes regular risk assessments, updates to the risk register, and ensuring that risk treatment decisions remain aligned with business priorities.

Security risks are reviewed as part of normal management, not only during audits or incidents.

Our role:

  • ensure ISMS continuity and consistency

  • lead periodic risk assessments and reviews

  • translate risk into actionable management decisions

Policies, Processes, and Operational Governance

We manage and maintain the organisation’s security policies, procedures, and governance structure, ensuring they remain current, applied, and auditable. Changes in services, suppliers, legislation, or technology are reflected systematically — not reactively.

Documentation exists to support operations and accountability, not to satisfy formality.

Our role:

  • maintain and update ISMS documentation

  • ensure policies are implemented in practice

  • keep governance aligned with organisational changes

Incident Handling and Third-Party Security

CISO as a Service includes support for security incident preparedness and response, as well as oversight of supplier and partner security. This ensures that incidents are handled consistently and that external dependencies do not introduce unmanaged risk.

The objective is controlled response and learning — not blame or improvisation.

Our role:

  • support incident handling and post-incident review

  • advise during real incidents when needed

  • assess and manage supplier and partner security risks

Reporting, Audit Readiness, and Awareness

We provide regular reporting to senior management, maintain continuous audit readiness, and support internal and external audits (ISO 27001, E-ITS, NIS2, contractual audits). In parallel, we support awareness activities so that information security responsibilities are understood across the organisation.

Audit readiness is treated as a by-product of good management — not a separate exercise.

Our role:

  • prepare organisations for audits without “audit theatre”

  • provide clear, evidence-based reporting

  • strengthen security awareness at management and staff level
