About Romain

Information systems engineer, I have been working in security for six years. Cybersecurity consultant, Deputy CISO, CISO, Group CISO — in six years I have skipped steps, moving from the field to governance without lingering.
Today I offer three types of services:

- CISO as a Service — for organizations that need a structuring CISO without hiring full-time. I take care of the security policy, risk analysis, committees, awareness training, and executive reporting. I have done this in very different contexts: software vendor, international multi-entity group, regulated environments.

- Audit & Compliance — ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR. I can both conduct audits and assist in implementing corrective actions. Certified ISO/IEC 27005 Risk Manager.

- Cyber & IT Consulting in M&A context — this is a specialty I developed at Volaris Group, where I participated in target assessments, cyber due diligence, and post-acquisition integration. It is an area where few freelancers have real operational experience.

I work remotely, available for long-term assignments as well as one-off interventions.
