Who is responsible for cybersecurity in an SME, and when a vCISO makes sense
vCISO · 8 min read · 11 Sept 2026

Who is responsible for cybersecurity in an SME? (and when a vCISO makes sense)

Management is accountable, and one named person has to own the decisions. NIS2 puts approval and oversight on the management body, ISO 27001 requires the roles to be assigned, and neither requires a CISO. Where the job lands by default, what it involves, and when a vCISO fits.

How to answer a customer security questionnaire: CAIQ, SIG, VSA and the three questions behind them

NIS2 for telecom suppliers: the two ways the obligations reach you, and what operators will ask for

Does ISO 27001 make you secure? What a certificate proves
ISO 27001 · 9 min read · 8 Sept 2026

Does ISO 27001 make you secure? What a certificate proves, what it leaves open, and how to check one is real

Not on its own. An ISO 27001 certificate proves a certification body audited your management system for a stated scope. It does not prove the controls work well. What it proves, where it stops, and how to check a certificate is genuine.
