    Our Story

    AVSec Advisory was founded in 2026 to bring boutique, senior-level cybersecurity leadership to organizations that deserve more than a generic playbook or a junior consultant.

    Our mission is simple: help Greek and EU businesses navigate NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and DORA without the complexity of big-firm engagements. Every client works directly with an experienced CISO — not a delegated team.

    We believe cybersecurity is a business enabler, not a checklist.

    "Your CISO, without the complexity."

    What Sets Us Apart

    Direct CISO Engagement, Not Delegated Teams

    Every engagement is led directly by a senior CISO with 20+ years of hands-on governance experience. You don't get a slide deck from a partner and implementation from juniors — you get one experienced advisor accountable from first meeting to final audit. Boutique by design.

    Greek NIS2 & EU Regulatory Specialization

    Deep expertise in Greek Law 5160/2024, the National Cybersecurity Requirements Framework, and the intersection of NIS2, DORA, GDPR, and the EU AI Act. We build proprietary tooling — including our CyFun2025 Greek overlays framework — tailored specifically for organizations operating under Greek and E

    Advisory plus Mile2-Accredited Training In-House

    Through AVSec Academy, we deliver accredited Mile2 certification courses and tailored compliance training for boards, executives, and security teams. Clients build sustainable internal capability alongside the advisory engagement — not dependency.

    Commonly Asked Questions

    We begin every engagement with a structured three-phase onboarding designed to deliver value quickly without overwhelming internal teams. Phase 1 — Discovery (Week 1): We meet with executive stakeholders to understand business context, regulatory scope (NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR, DORA), existing controls, and critical assets. A scoping document is signed off before implementation begins. Phase 2 — Gap Assessment (Weeks 2-4): We conduct a rapid gap analysis against the relevant frameworks and deliver a prioritized findings report with a risk-based remediation roadmap. Phase 3 — Implementation Kickoff (Week 5+): We establish governance meetings, reporting cadence to the board or executive team, and begin execution of the agreed roadmap. Throughout the engagement, clients work directly with a senior CISO — not a delegated team — ensuring continuity, accountability, and institutional knowledge from day one.

    Yes. As a cybersecurity advisory firm operating in the EU, compliance with applicable regulations is both a legal requirement and a core professional standard we apply to ourselves before advising clients. GDPR: We process client and prospect personal data under a documented GDPR framework, including a published Privacy Policy, lawful basis documentation, data subject rights procedures, and EU-based data storage. Our founder holds the EU GDPR DPO certification (Advisera). NIS2 & ISO 27001: While AVSec Advisory is not itself an Essential or Important entity under NIS2, we implement the Article 21 technical and organizational controls internally and maintain an ISMS aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 for our own operations. HIPAA: We do not operate in the United States healthcare market and therefore HIPAA does not apply to our practice. For clients serving US healthcare, we coordinate with HIPAA-specialized partners where needed. Client confidentiality is protected through signed NDAs, encrypted communications, secure document storage, and strict access controls on all engagement data.

    By design, we maintain a deliberately small concurrent client portfolio — typically 4 to 6 active engagements at any given time. This is a conscious choice, not a capacity limitation. Senior CISO-level advisory requires deep context on each client's business, regulatory posture, and risk landscape. Spreading that attention across dozens of accounts is how large firms deliver thin service through junior consultants — a model we are built to counter. Each engagement receives direct founder-level involvement, and we onboard new clients only when capacity allows us to maintain that standard. For organizations that need immediate support while we evaluate fit, we offer short-form engagements — NIS2 Readiness Assessments, ISO 27001 gap analyses, or one-off board advisory sessions — that can start within two weeks.

    Yes. Virtual CISO (vCISO) engagements are one of our most requested services, and we structure them flexibly based on organizational need. Typical engagement models include: a few days per month for mid-sized organizations that need executive cybersecurity oversight without a full-time hire; interim CISO coverage during leadership transitions; and project-based vCISO support for specific initiatives such as NIS2 implementation, ISO 27001 certification preparation, or post-incident recovery. All vCISO engagements include direct board and executive reporting, risk oversight, governance establishment, incident preparedness, and alignment with business strategy — not just compliance paperwork.
