Chief Information Security Officer

The strategic guide for our customers. As a customer-facing CISO, you are the strategic conscience and trusted advisor for our customers. You are not behind the controls yourself, but you help determine the course. You translate complex cyber threats into clear board-level language and help consider how cyber security can support our customers' business strategy. Whether it concerns a managed security service, a CISO or GRC-as-a-Service role, or consultancy: you ensure that our customers are supported as effectively as possible in a constantly evolving security landscape. The technical execution? For that, you seamlessly liaise with our specialized security teams and Managed Services.
