ISO-as-a-Service
Information Security Officer as-a-Service: Mastering security challenges with an experienced partner
Covering information security with external competence
Fulfilling regulatory requirements securely
Strengthen security level in a targeted and sustainable manner
Cyber threats are constantly evolving – as are the legal requirements for information security. For companies, this means that information security must be strategically conceived, professionally managed and permanently kept in view. Many IT managers are therefore looking for reliable, external support to effectively strengthen their security structures.
With the ISO-as-a-Service, Possehl Secure offers exactly that: an experienced information security officer who accompanies you through all security-relevant topics - technically sound, organizationally adept and strategically forward-looking. The ISO knows the current regulatory requirements - for example from NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) – in detail and develops a security program that systematically addresses and meets these requirements. Supported by a strong team of experts, IS ensures that information security is not only implemented in your company, but permanently anchored.

The ISO's services at a glance
The Information Security Officer (ISO) plays a central role in the development, implementation and further development of a holistic security program – both strategically and operationally. Their tasks include
Development and implementation of individual information security strategies, tailored to the specific risks and requirements of the company.
Set up and manage an information security management system (ISMS) based on common standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 – including guidelines, procedures and technical security measures. If guidelines and standards already exist, these are reviewed and optimized.
Carrying out regular analyses and assessments in order to adapt security strategies to current challenges in a targeted manner.
Monitoring and control of security measures in ongoing operations and security-related projects.
Regularly informing management or divisional management about the status of information security, including well-founded recommendations for action.
Design and coordination of awareness measures to strengthen security awareness within the company.
The ISO draws on the collective expertise of the Possehl Secure team – from special technical issues and GRC topics to strategic security planning.
Our two-stage approach
Maturity Assessment / GAP analysis
In the first phase, we carry out an actual/target/GAP analysis over a period of one to two months. This involves recording existing programs, documents and stakeholders in the context of IT and information security and comparing and adjusting requirements and objectives. The result is an individual blueprint for the introduction of ISO-as-a-Service and the associated security program.
In doing so, we take a pragmatic approach: not every company needs a comprehensive ISO/IEC 27001 framework with subsequent certification. For many medium-sized organizations, alternative procedures – such as those based on CIS Controls or the NIST Cybersecurity Framework – are much more efficient and more precise.
