You recommend a security framework in line with the customer’s needs, and develop the corresponding ISMS. You coordinate the implementation of the ISMS with the current way of working of the customer to make the evolution to security as smooth as possible.

You perform a Security Officer role for the customer, ensuring the continuous improvement of their ISMS, assisting the customer’s security staff with your expertise, and acting as a sounding board for the customer’s own CISO or other security responsible.

When a customer experiences an incident, you coordinate the response efforts, and act as a communication bridge between the spotit engineers working on the incident and the customer’s management.

If protection of personal data is also your thing, you act as the customer’s privacy responsible or as their DPO, and manage the customer’s responsibilities under GDPR, taking care of policies, notices, agreements and registers. You respond to queries from the customers and from their data subjects and assist them in handling any breaches.
