vCISO Mandate
Strategic security leadership. Without a full-time CISO.
Monthly strategy syncs. Quarterly board decks. Ongoing risk management. All on a subscription basis.
CISO role open. Regulation tightening. Board awaiting answers.
Your company is growing. New regulations (NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001) create compliance obligations. Clients and partners demand structured security documentation.
A full-time CISO costs €200,000+ per year – and is difficult to recruit. External consultants bill by the hour without providing strategic continuity.
What's missing: strategic security leadership that is immediately available – at enterprise CISO level, on mid-market terms.
Your CISO. On a subscription basis.
Woodlands' vCISO Mandate delivers strategic security leadership as a monthly cancellable subscription. You receive board-ready reporting, structured risk management and continuous compliance documentation.
No recruiting. No onboarding. Operational from month one.
