About Nicolas

I support general management and IT departments in cybersecurity steering and governance structuring, in line with their business and regulatory challenges (ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2).

With 20 years of experience in international environments, I provide support to the CISO function or act as a part-time CISO (vCISO), depending on the organizations' needs.

My positioning is both strategic and operational: to provide visibility to management while ensuring the concrete progress of projects.

I intervene in particular on:

- Structuring cybersecurity governance
- Steering compliance programs (ISO 27001, DORA...)
- Facilitating committees (EXCOM, CISO Committee)
- Coordinating IT, business, and partner teams

I support organizations that wish to sustainably structure their cybersecurity, without necessarily hiring a full-time CISO.

🎯 Goal: Integrate cybersecurity into overall business management, pragmatically and aligned with business challenges.

📩 Available for interim CISO or part-time support roles
