Cybersecurity consultant specializing in Belgian SMEs — NIS2, vCISO & GRC compliance
I support Belgian SMEs and mid-cap companies in their NIS2 compliance, the structuring of their security governance, and the operational protection of their IT systems. My approach: an external CISO's perspective, accessible and adapted to the realities of organizations without an in-house IT department.
My missions cover initial security audits (risk mapping, CyFun Basic/CCB gaps), prioritized cyber roadmaps, deployment of technical and organizational measures, and team awareness training.
Based in Brussels, I operate on-site within a 50 km radius or remotely. I am currently working with two clients in the HR/social and accounting sectors.
