Your external Chief Information Security Officer

A CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is the person responsible for information security within your organisation. For most SMEs, filling this role internally is not financially feasible — yet security leadership is indispensable today.

NetGuard offers CISO as a Service: we take on strategic security responsibility, tailored to your scale and budget. From drafting policy documents to supporting audits and following up on incidents.

For whom?

  • SMEs without an internal security function
  • Companies subject to NIS2
  • Organisations aiming for CyberFundamentals readiness
  • Companies after a security incident
  • Growing organisations that need structure

The Belgian cybersecurity reference framework

The CyberFundamentals Framework was developed by the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) and provides a structured approach to information security. It is based on international standards such as ISO 27001 and NIST CSF — but accessible for Belgian organisations of any size.

Basic

Suitable for small enterprises. Minimal security hygiene as a starting point.

Important

For medium-sized organisations. More extensive measures and documentation required.

Essential

Highest level. Mandatory for organisations subject to the NIS2 directive.

NIS2 link: The NIS2 directive requires a growing number of Belgian SMEs to demonstrate security measures. The CyberFundamentals Framework is the officially recognised path to compliance. NetGuard guides you from baseline assessment to implementation.
