My Service for Your Business
The Strategy for your Success.
virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO)
A vCISO provides executive-level security leadership and strategic oversight on a flexible, contractual basis. This model delivers the ex-pertise of a traditional CISO through a scalable, cost-effective service tailored to your orga-nizational needs.
Integrating a Security Operation Center (SOC)
Successfully embedding a SOC within a functioning IT organization is a highstakes challenge. I specialize in minimizing friction and maximizing efficiency during this transition, applying years of operational leadership to ensure your integration goals are met.
Effective Cybersecurity Incident Response
Battle-tested CISO and SOC Manager utilizing a holistic, research-driven methodology. I apply influence factors from 21 categories to align organizational context and human behavior with robust defense strategies against sophisticated adversaries.
Your Sparring- Partner & Advisory Board Member
Navigating the complexities of GRC governance, operational management, or IT leadership requires decisive action. Collaborative dialogue with an experienced peer can provide the clarity necessary to overcome stagnation and drive strategic breakthroughs.
vCISO
In an era of sophisticated cyber threats, every organization—regardless of size—requires executive-grade security oversight. I offer vCISO (virtual Chief Information Security Officer) services that bridge the gap between complex security requirements and operational reality.
Leveraging a battle-tested background as a CISO and SOC Manager, I provide a holistic, research-driven approach based to cover all important aspects that give you a competitive advantage. Whether you are a growing startup or an established enterprise, I help you navigate high-stakes decisions, integrate seamless SOC operations, and build a resilient security posture without the overhead of a full-time executive hire.
Security Operations Center
I bring a unique pedigree of security leadership, having built and led the Security Operations Center (SOC) for Europe’s largest retail banking group. This role involved safeguarding 400 distinct institutes and delivering high-performance Managed Security Services (MSSP) across a massive, highly regulated landscape.
As your vCISO, I translate this experience into actionable strategies for your business. Whether navigating nation-state threats or orchestrating complex SOC integrations, I apply the same rigor used to protect global financial infrastructure to secure your organization’s future.
Effective Cybersecurity Incident Response
True security leadership is born from the intersection of deep technical skill and strategic foresight. With a career spanning three decades, I offer a perspective that few can match: the ability to think like an attacker and the discipline to lead like an executive.
My journey began in the technical trenches—where I developed novel network attack methodologies—and evolved into leading security operations for Europe’s largest retail banking group. I have managed high-stakes incidents against all kind of adversaries. Two groundbreaking scientific papers complete my practical experience with the scientific knowledge of how to effectively prepare and fight back cyber intrusion.
Today, I translate these 30 years of "battle-tested" knowledge into high-impact vCISO and Sparring Partner services, helping organizations build holistic capabilities that are scientifically sound and operationally invincible.
Sparring Partner
Leadership in the GRC and IT space is increasingly complex. Sometimes, the most valuable asset is not another report, but a sparring partner who has already managed 400 institutes through the highest stakes imaginable.

Challenge the Status Quo: Identify blind spots in your SOC or incident response strategy.
Neutralize Complexity: Translate technical risk into business-aligned decision-making.
