Consultancy-as-a-Service
Consultancy-as-a-Service is ongoing governance support on a fixed retainer, where expertise becomes part of your organisation instead of being bought in project by project.
Consistent expertise across cybersecurity, AI governance and management systems, without the cost and commitment of a full-time role. A single point of contact who stays involved and keeps your governance on track.
Why continuity delivers more than a project
Most organisations have plans enough. What they lack is continuity. An implementation project delivers policy, a risk assessment and a certificate, and then the knowledge leaves with the consultant. A healthcare provider completes its 27001 certification, for example, after which quarterly reporting to the board stops the moment the project closes. Six months on, actions from the management review have stalled and the next audit is uncomfortably close.
Governance needs sustained attention. Risks shift, standards are revised, and the board wants to see what is actually happening. Consultancy-as-a-Service fills that gap. You get a dedicated expert who keeps governance running and makes accountability towards management and board possible.
Four models, one promise
The service comes in four delivery models. They answer the same question: how do you keep governance running without creating a full-time position. Which model fits depends on what you need.
vCISO
Board-level direction on information security, without a full-time CISO on the payroll. The role focuses on maturity growth and on accountability towards management and board.
AI CISO
An accountable role for the governance of your AI applications, from first use case to ongoing accountability across the entire lifecycle.
Secondment
Temporary capacity for a specific governance need.
Continuous improvement
A fixed rhythm of measuring, evaluating and adjusting. This keeps the management system working and moving with new risks.
How a retainer works at iQomply
STEP 01
Dedicated point of contact
You get a lead-level consultant who stays involved. A familiar face who knows your organisation and contributes at management and board level.
STEP 02
Rhythm in execution
We work in a fixed rhythm of planning, doing and evaluating. Each quarter I deliver an updated risk register and a management review that is ready for the next audit cycle.
STEP 03
Alignment with the board
Direction connects to management and board, so you keep a grip on the risks that genuinely matter.
STEP 04
Growth in maturity
The goal is not a certificate, but a system that keeps working. Where the vCISO takes board-level direction, continual improvement raises the level step by step.
The engagement is hybrid. On site where presence makes a difference, remote where that is more efficient.
Expertise that becomes part of your organisation
Consultancy-as-a-Service is meant for organisations that want to stay in control but lack the capacity to fill every role themselves. Instead of opening a vacancy, you bring in an experienced expert who can steer from day one.
As a Lead Auditor I know both sides of the table. I use that perspective to get your management system in order and keep it audit-ready and governable at the same time.
Who Consultancy-as-a-Service works for
Consultancy-as-a-Service suits organisations with limited internal capacity that still want a structural grip on governance. Think of healthcare providers, IT vendors and other organisations in regulated sectors. And of leadership teams looking for calm and continuity without creating a permanent position.
