Our CISO-as-a-Service:
Secure Your Future with our Security & Compliance Expertise.

Prioritize Security From the Start

Prioritize security from the start by integrating robust measures, establishing strong practices, and fostering a culture of security awareness. Being prepared for security incidents may mean the difference between staying or going out of business.

Effective Security Goes Beyond Checklists

The increasing complexity of cyber threats has led to more stringent regulatory frameworks and industry best practices. Let us help you leverage your compliance for better security.

Compliance is a Journey, not a Destination

We take the pain out of compliance, providing the expertise and support you need to demonstrate your commitment to data protection and regulatory requirements effortlessly.

Startups are a Prime Targets

A successful attack can cripple your organization. As data privacy becomes increasingly important, business leaders need to understand and implement measures to protect sensitive information while complying with global privacy laws.

Effective Security is More than Technology

Develop comprehensive cybersecurity policies, adopt industry best practices, conduct regular security audits, and enhance your security awareness training. We provide the expertise and support you need to implement these critical security measures effectively.

Cost-Effective Solutions for Your Organization

Our CISO-as-a-Service acts as an extension of your team, providing expert guidance and support without the hefty price tag of a full-time CISO. We deliver exceptional value and a strong return on your security investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CISO-as-a-Service and when do I need it?

BARE Cybersecurity provide CISO-as-a-service solutions.
CISO-as-a-Service, delivered by BARE as a vCISO, is a relatively new concept. Think of them as an external professional security expert who provides strategic security guidance and hands-on security services to organizations on a part-time or contract basis. This allows your business to access high-level cybersecurity and specialized expertise without incurring full-time expenses.

Why a Cybersecurity Subscription?

BARE Cybersecurity understands tight budgets; that's why we offer our services as a retainer subscription. Your subscription service is a simple monthly fee that includes the level of service you need. Nothing more, nothing less. And of course, we understand that this may change as your needs change overtime so we will be there for you when that happens. Feel free to reach out to find out more.

Will my vCISO be dedicated solely to my organization?

TL;DR: yes. Your vCISO will become your go-to person; a trusted partner, deeply invested in your organization's security success. While, we may work together with other organizations which can, from time to time, lend their expertises, your vCISO will remain your point of contact, the one who understands your unique needs and will build a strong, ongoing relationship with your team.  Consider your vCISO your champion for cybersecurity, always available to provide guidance and support as you navigate the complexities of protecting your business. This dedicated approach ensures continuity in your security strategy and fosters a collaborative environment where your vCISO truly feels like an extension of your team.

Compliance seems so complicated and time-consuming.  Is there a way to make this easier?

Need to achieve compliance fast? We've got you covered. Our partnership with Drata, a leading GRC platform, streamlines the process of meeting various standards like ISO 27001/27002, GDPR, DORA, SOC 2, and NIS 2. We'll assess your current posture, help you implement necessary controls, and provide ongoing monitoring and reporting.  This means you can reduce time to compliance, simplify management, minimize costs, and gain a competitive edge.  Ready to fast-track your compliance journey? Contact us today.

We want to improve our security, but our resources are limited. What can we do?

Nowadays, small businesses need more than basic antivirus to stay safe online.  Unfortunately, often your team doesn't have the time or expertise to manage complex security systems. BARE Cybersecurity offers a helping hand with managed services like MDR (think 24/7 threat hunting and response) and Security Awareness Training (turning your employees into a human firewall).  We handle the heavy lifting, so you can focus on your business, knowing your data and operations are protected from cyberattacks.

Can you work remotely?

Absolutely! Even though we are based out of the Netherlands, most of BARE Cybersecurity customers are, in fact, remote. We've designed our operations to work this way. This means we can seamlessly collaborate with clients and partners throughout Europe, regardless of location. Our team members are equipped to work effectively from anywhere with a secure internet connection. This allows us to provide our expertise and services to businesses across the continent without any geographical limitations. Want to meet instead? We will be there!
