The Problem
-
You need security expertise at the leadership level, but can't justify a $200K+ hire. A full-time CISO makes sense for large enterprises, not growing businesses. But the risks you face are just as real.
-
Your board, insurers, and auditors expect someone accountable for security. They're asking questions your IT team can't answer. Who owns your security strategy? Who's responsible when an incident happens? Who's managing risk at an executive level?
-
When an incident occurs, you need immediate expert guidance. Breaches, ransomware, compliance failures - these aren't problems you can afford to figure out as you go. You need someone who's handled it before and knows what to do next.
-
Security strategy keeps getting pushed aside by operational IT demands. Your team is maintaining systems, fixing issues, and keeping the business running. Strategic security work - risk assessments, policy development, incident planning - never gets the attention it needs.
The NSP Approach

We provide experienced security leadership on a flexible, part-time basis - giving you CISO-level expertise without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive hire.
You get strategic guidance, board-level reporting, and someone accountable for your security posture. We develop your roadmap, manage risk, handle compliance requirements, and ensure your team has clear direction.
When incidents occur, we step in immediately - leading response, managing communications, coordinating recovery, and keeping your business protected. You're not navigating crises alone or learning on the job.
Our vCISO service is built around incident readiness and response capability. We prepare you for what might happen and guide you through it when it does.
Meet the person leading your security
Geordie has spent his career leading security functions for some of Europe's largest organisations and now brings that international expertise directly to NZ businesses through NSP. He holds a master's with honours in Information Security from London University, is a published author on security metrics, privacy, and ethics, and is a recognised international public speaker in the field.
His approach is practical and business-focused. He doesn't build programmes around compliance checklists for their own sake. He starts with your actual risk profile, your obligations, and what an attacker would realistically do with what you've currently got - then builds from there.
When you engage NSP's vCISO service, Geordie and his team are your security leadership - named, accountable, and accessible.
