How AKRUP. Can Help
AKRUP supports organisations with practical, flexible Virtual CISO services designed to strengthen security leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. Whether you need strategic guidance, support managing information security risks, oversight of compliance programmes, or a trusted advisor to help drive security initiatives forward, our consultants can provide the expertise and direction needed. From building roadmaps and improving governance to supporting audits, policies, supplier assurance, and stakeholder reporting, we help organisations create a more mature, resilient, and commercially aligned security function.
Did you know: A Virtual CISO gives your organisation access to senior security leadership, strategic oversight, and compliance expertise without the commitment of a permanent in-house CISO.
Our Services
Security Strategy & Roadmap
Develop a tailored cybersecurity strategy aligned with your business objectives, risk profile, and compliance requirements. We create a practical roadmap that prioritises security improvements while supporting business growth.
Compliance & Governance
Ensure your organisation remains aligned with frameworks such as ISO 27001, TISAX, and CMMC. We provide governance, policy oversight and executive guidance to keep your compliance programme on track.
Incident Response & Resilience
Strengthen your organisation's ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from cyber incidents. We review response plans, coordinate improvements, and provide strategic support during security events.
Risk Management
Identify, assess and manage cyber risks before they become business issues. We maintain your risk register, recommend mitigation plans, and provide ongoing oversight to reduce organisational risk.
Executive & Board Reporting
Translate complex security information into clear business insights for senior leadership. Regular reporting helps executives understand cyber risks, make informed decisions, and demonstrate due diligence.
Third-Party & Supplier Security
Reduce supply chain risk by assessing the security posture of vendors and critical suppliers. We help implement due diligence processes that protect your business from third-party cyber threats.
