Advisory & Managed Services

Whether you need senior guidance to complement an existing team or an expert to run security for you, GMC plugs in wherever the gap is. Get the seniority and specialism of a full security function without the cost and lead time of building one from scratch.

Building an in-house security function is expensive and slow, and for many organisations it is hard to justify a full-time senior hire. GMC’s advisory and managed services give you that seniority on demand — strategic direction when you need it, hands-on delivery when you don’t have the capacity, and a rapid-response team for when things go wrong.

Our CISO as a Service brings board-level security leadership to organisations that need the expertise but not a permanent executive. We set strategy, own the security roadmap, engage with auditors and regulators, and translate technical risk into business language your leadership can act on.

When incidents happen, speed matters. Our incident response team helps you contain, investigate and recover quickly, then feeds the lessons back into your defences. And by embedding secure practices into your development lifecycle, we help you prevent the next incident rather than just react to the last one.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

What exactly is CISO as a Service?+

It is a virtual Chief Information Security Officer — an experienced security leader who works with you part-time or on retainer. You get strategy, governance, roadmap ownership and regulator engagement at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive.

How quickly can you respond to an incident?+

Response times are agreed in your service arrangement. For retained clients we prioritise rapid engagement so containment can begin as early as possible, which is the single biggest factor in limiting damage.

Can you work alongside our existing IT team?+

Absolutely. Most engagements complement an in-house team rather than replace it — filling specific gaps in seniority, specialism or capacity.
