Virtual CISO for SMBs — protect what you've built.
One accountable security leader for your business — so you stop wondering whether you're exposed and get back to running the company. A certified consultant, bilingual, across the EU.
The gap
Security leadership shouldn't be a luxury.
SMBs are now the primary target for cybercriminals. NIS2, DORA, and GDPR impose binding security obligations on thousands of businesses that have no one qualified to meet them.
In France and Germany, a full-time CISO earns €75,000–€120,000 a year in base salary alone, and €145,000–€230,000 in Dublin (Robert Half Salary Guides, 2026–27). Cyber-Management was built to close that gap.

Many incidents start with an everyday mistake — a click, a reused password, a convincing phone call. Our interactive training helps your team spot them and report them, so they become your first line of defence.

FAQ
Questions we hear most.
What is a Virtual CISO and does my SMB need one?
A vCISO is a fractional security executive who delivers strategic leadership without the full-time cost. If you handle sensitive data, fall under NIS2 or GDPR, or are pursuing ISO 27001 — you likely need one. Usually a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
How quickly can you start?
Within one to two weeks of an initial consultation — far faster than a recruitment process. We begin with a rapid security baseline assessment, then move into structured delivery from week three.
Do you work outside France and Belgium?
Yes. We serve businesses across France (mainland and overseas regions), Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and any organisation subject to EU regulations — delivered remotely and on-site as needed.
What is the difference between a consultant and a vCISO?
A consultant delivers a defined project then steps back. A vCISO runs your security programme on an ongoing basis — strategy, risk, board reporting and compliance — and reports to you; accountability stays with your management. Think head of security, not project contractor.
