Intro
What is IT Governance as a Managed Service?
IT governance refers to the framework of structures, processes and responsibilities through which an organisation ensures that its IT systems and information are reliably protected, operated in compliance with regulations and strategically managed. It is the prerequisite for Cyber Security is effective not just on a one-off basis, but on an ongoing one.

The result is a fully functional security organisation without the hassle of recruiting for the position yourself.

Frequently asked questions about IT Governance
An information security management system is always required if your company is under NIS-2, TISAX or comparable regulations, is seeking ISO 27001 certification, or where customers and clients require proof of structured information security. In addition, an ISMS is recommended for any company that wants to manage information security on an ongoing basis rather than on a project-by-project basis.
The Information Security Officer (ISB) operates on a tactical level: they coordinate measures, maintain documentation and act as a point of contact for internal and external bodies in day-to-day business. The CISO operates at a strategic level: they develop the security strategy, report to the executive management and are responsible for the overall direction of information security. accompio offers both roles as an external managed service, individually or combined.
A virtual CISO is an external security expert who takes on the strategic CISO function without working as a permanent employee at the company. This model is particularly suitable for medium-sized enterprises that require a CISO for regulatory or structural reasons, but cannot or do not want to fill a full-time position. accompio provides vCISOs with proven experience in regulated sectors and complex IT environments.
The costs depend on the chosen scope of services: ISBaaS and vCISO are billed as a monthly flat rate, while the implementation of an ISMS is a clearly defined project with a subsequent operations contract. Contact us for a tailored quote.
IT Governance creates the organisational prerequisites for cyber security to be effective: clear responsibilities, documented processes and functioning risk management. Without this foundation, technical protection remains incomplete. At accompio, IT Governance and Cyber Security interlinked in terms of content, so that governance decisions feed directly into technical operations.
