CISO executive search
Profile, shortlist vetting, and technical interviews your candidates cannot bluff through.
Home / Services / CISO Advisory
Security leadership your board can sign.
Recruit the right CISO. Keep advisors who stay.
Regulators hold the board accountable, not the tooling. Evidence wins audits. We run the search with you, then stay at your CISO side as advisors on governance across SEC Cyber Rules, NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIS2, and DORA.
For CEOs and boards we combine executive search with ongoing advisory: profile, shortlist vetting, technical interviews, then governance, reporting, and audit preparation across SEC Cyber Rules, NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIS2, and DORA.
Advisory at their side
Board reporting, audit evidence, and supply chain answers that hold up under scrutiny.
Audit preparation
Preparation and support for audits across SEC Cyber Rules, NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIS2, and DORA, with evidence from real controls.
Mandate, quarterly rhythm, escalation path
We start by reviewing responsibilities, policy status, backup locks, and reporting lines, then prioritize gaps by board risk.
In the ongoing mandate we report quarterly, prepare audits, and feed AuraLink, AuraCore, and Aura telemetry into your SIEM.
In a crisis your advisors already know your network and lead jointly with the 24/7 incident desk.
Common questions
Should a board hire a fractional CISO or recruit a full-time in-house CISO?
In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Identiqa serves directly as External CISO (CISO as a Service). In US, UK, UAE, and global markets, Identiqa recruits and vets your in-house CISO and stays at their side as ongoing board and audit advisors.
Does CISO advisory replace existing IT leadership or infrastructure teams?
No. Identiqa strengthens your IT leadership: clear priorities, audit evidence, and 2U edge and host infrastructure that relieves daily operations.
How do we start a CISO executive search or board advisory mandate?
Start with an executive architecture briefing with Identiqa for a one-time $500 (plus applicable tax) (up to one hour).
In your rack. On the cloud contract you already have.
We size Identiqa to your infrastructure and sites. Buy directly through Identiqa or on your existing agreement with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure.
