GRC, Fractional & Shared CISO Services
for Swiss Organisations

Practical cybersecurity governance, risk and fractional or Shared CISO support for organisations that need stronger oversight, clearer accountability and audit-ready evidence without building a large internal governance function.

Swiss data-protection and customer requirements can be mapped to controls without representing legal advice

Governance & Advisory Services

Effective GRC connects business risk, control ownership, evidence and management decisions so cybersecurity is governed as an enterprise risk rather than treated only as a technical issue.

Cybersecurity Governance Framework

Define proportionate governance structures, roles, decision rights, reporting and risk tolerance so security ownership is clear across management, technology teams and suppliers.

Risk Assessment & Treatment

Identify assets, threats, vulnerabilities and business impact; maintain risk registers; select treatment actions; and track accepted, mitigated, transferred or avoided risks over time.

ISO 27001 & Control Readiness

Support gap assessment, scope definition, control mapping, evidence planning, remediation tracking and readiness reviews for ISO 27001 and other applicable frameworks.

Policies, Standards & Exceptions

Develop maintainable policies, standards and procedures linked to real operating practices, with ownership, review cycles and controlled exception handling rather than static documents.

Shared CISO Leadership

Provide ongoing security leadership, executive reporting, risk oversight, programme prioritisation and coordination across internal teams, managed providers and key technology suppliers.

Audit & Evidence Readiness

Coordinate evidence repositories, control owners, audit requests, findings and remediation actions so internal and external assurance activities are easier to support and defend.

Governance for Swiss Business and Technology Risk

The service can map cybersecurity governance to recognised frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIST CSF 2.0 while customer-specific Swiss data-protection, contractual and sector requirements are documented separately. This keeps technical controls, risk ownership and evidence traceable without presenting the service as legal advice or a certification guarantee.

GRC & Shared CISO Operating Model

A governance cycle that connects business risk, control ownership, policy, evidence, management oversight and continual improvement instead of treating compliance as a one-time exercise.

  1. Govern & Prioritise

    Define roles, decision rights, reporting, risk appetite and the security priorities that need management oversight.

  2. Assess Risk

    Identify business and technology risks, evaluate impact and likelihood, and maintain owned treatment decisions.

  3. Map Controls

    Relate policies, standards and technical controls to applicable frameworks, contractual needs and identified risks.

  4. Implement & Track

    Assign remediation and control actions, manage exceptions and track progress through accountable owners and due dates.

  5. Collect Evidence

    Maintain reusable evidence, control records and audit support material so assurance activity is easier to coordinate.

  6. Review & Report

    Provide management reporting on risks, exceptions, findings and priorities, then feed decisions into the next governance cycle.

This model helps Swiss organisations turn cybersecurity governance into an operating rhythm with clear ownership, evidence and management decisions.
