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 with them have come questionnaires from banks, insurers, and large customers that mid-market companies have not had to answer before. A cybersecurity expert brings the response into proportion: an honest assessment of where the company stands, controls and architecture sized to its actual exposure, and readiness for the day something does go wrong, without the theatre that gives security work a bad name.

The cybersecurity experts on Hellenic Talent come from senior security roles in industry and financial services, from top consultancies, and from Big 4 firms. What they bring is a practitioner's sense of proportion: scepticism towards tools bought for the logo, towards policies nobody reads, and towards any security conversation that does not begin with what the business actually runs.

What does a cybersecurity expert actually do?

Assess the current security posture and order the findings by what actually matters
Design a security architecture and control set sized to the company and its exposure
Prepare the organisation for ISO 27001 certification and for NIS2 or DORA obligations
Build incident readiness: the plan, the roles, and the rehearsal, before any of it is needed
Select security tools and vendors on fit rather than on the strength of the demo
Scope and commission penetration testing and turn the findings into a work plan
Give the board a standing, plain-language view of security risk and progress

How to choose the right cybersecurity expert

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

Worked without an in-house team
Has secured companies of your size, not only enterprises with security teams of their own.
Neither alarm nor complacency
Talks about risk in business terms and resists both alarm and complacency.
Done the readiness work
Has taken an organisation through ISO 27001 preparation or an equivalent regime.
No stake in the tools
Independent of the tools and vendors they recommend.
Learned it the hard way
Has sat through a real incident and builds the readiness that experience teaches.
