What is a CISO and why are more and more organizations outsourcing it?
El Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is the figure responsible for designing, implementing and leading the cybersecurity strategy in an organization. But in a context where the Cybersecurity is critical and talent is scarce, many entities are opting for a more efficient solution: the CISO as a Service (CISoaaS) service.
At Apollo Cybersecurity, we offer CISO as a Service as a flexible, specialized and compliance-oriented service, designed for both public and private entities.
Benefits of CISO as a Service
Have an external CISO It does not mean relinquishing control, but gain in efficiency, specialization and strategic vision. These are its main advantages:
- Guaranteed regulatory compliance: ENS, NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR and DORA.
- Expert support in audits, incidents and action plans.
- Reducing costs regarding a staff CISO.
- Updated external perspective in the face of emerging threats.
- Flexibility and scalability, adapted to your organizational structure.
CISO and ENS compliance: a necessity for the public sector
El National Security Scheme (ENS) is mandatory for all public bodies in Spain, including municipalities, consortiums and municipal entities. Having a CISO —even if it's external— makes it easy to:
- Elaborate the Adaptation plan to ENS.
- Develop required policies and procedures.
- Support internal and external audits
- Ensure documentary traceability.
- Maintain operational continuity in the face of incidents.
🔐 Who needs a CISO as a Service?
This service is ideal for:
- City councils or public entities that must comply with ENS and have no internal profile.
- Companies that face ISO 27001, NIS2 or DORA audits.
- Growing organizations who need leadership in cybersecurity without incurring structural costs.
- Companies that have experienced incidents and they require a professional recovery strategy.
