Hire a cybersecurity expert in Greece and Cyprus

A senior practitioner who sizes security to the company rather than the catalogue, and gives the board a straight answer on risk.

NIS2 and DORA have moved security from the server room to the board agenda in Greece and Cyprus, and questionnaires from banks, insurers and large customers have followed. A cybersecurity expert brings the response into proportion with the real exposure. What usually prompts the call:

  • A bank or insurer questionnaire that nobody inside can answer
  • A NIS2 or DORA deadline and no view of where the company stands
  • An incident at a peer that made the board ask questions
  • ISO 27001 demanded by a large customer or a tender

The cybersecurity experts on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from senior security roles in industry and financial services, top consultancies and Big 4 firms. They bring a practitioner's sense of proportion: scepticism towards tools bought for the logo and policies nobody reads.

What does a cybersecurity expert actually do?

  • Assess the security posture and order the findings by what actually matters
  • Size the controls and architecture to what the company actually runs
  • Prepare for ISO 27001 certification and for NIS2 or DORA obligations
  • Build incident readiness: the plan, the roles and the rehearsal
  • Scope the penetration test and turn its findings into a work plan
  • Choose security tools on fit, not on the strength of the demo

How to choose the right cybersecurity expert

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

  1. Prioritises like an attacker

    Ranks findings by how an attacker would actually get in, not by the scanner's severity score.

  2. Through an ISO 27001 audit

    Has taken an organisation into an ISO 27001 audit and can name the controls that failed first.

  3. Has handled a live incident

    Can walk you through the first hours of a real incident: who decided, who was told and when.
