One ISMS, not three audits
How ISO 27001 can serve as the backbone that satisfies NIS2 and DORA from a single set of evidence — and spares your team the cost of stacking frameworks.
Practical GRC and vCISO services for SMEs and regulated organisations. We turn NIS2, DORA and ISO 27001 obligations into controls, documentation and evidence — governance that works in real operations, not just on paper.
You engage an experienced principal, not a rotating team — with the judgement that comes from building security functions inside government and banking.
You engage a former CISO of Cyprus' two largest banks and the Government directly — senior judgement and continuity, hands-on from day one.
No products to sell and no platform to push. Our only goal is the right controls and evidence for your organisation.
Built inside government, banking and ENISA working groups — we understand how regulators and auditors think, because we've sat at their table.
We take on a focused set of clients, so each receives the time, attention and continuity that real governance demands.
With the NIS2 and DORA grace periods now closed, it is no longer enough to be protected — you must be able to demonstrate resilience at any moment, to auditors, regulators and customers alike. circl3.tech helps organisations build and run cybersecurity governance with clarity and speed, translating obligations into the controls, documentation and evidence that hold up under scrutiny.
One backbone that satisfies regulators, auditors and your customers' due-diligence questionnaires.
A focused set of advisory services — scoped to your obligations, your sector and your risk appetite.
Senior security leadership, on demand — as much or as little as you need.
Turn NIS2, DORA and ISO 27001 obligations into controls, documentation and evidence.
Know your risks — and prove your controls actually work.
Build a security culture, satisfy independent scrutiny, and represent your interests.
Treating NIS2, DORA and ISO 27001 in silos multiplies audits, documentation and cost. We build a single compliance backbone — so you assess risk once, produce one set of evidence, and satisfy every framework and customer at the same time.
Scope, services and the obligations that apply to you.
Gaps, priorities and the real risk drivers.
An actionable plan with clear owners and timelines.
Governance, policies, controls, training and toolkits.
Testing, metrics, reporting and continuous improvement.
A gap assessment, a prioritised roadmap and a practical checklist — so you can begin execution immediately, with no long lead time and no guesswork.
