Kynexis Trusted Advisor
Who helps you choose independently in complex cyber risks?
Cybersecurity consultancy of Kynexis Information Security gives boards and executive management and IT managers an independent soundboard. We organize facts, connect digital risks with your goals and translate technology into clear choices. This can be done around one decision or periodically as Kynexis Information Security Trusted Advisor.
Do you recognize this?
- Technical advice gives many directions for solutions, but not enough board-level explanation.
- Interests of suppliers, internal teams and management are mixed up in an important choice.
- You want to be able to underpin an investment, exception or residual risk with facts.
- There is a need for experienced contradiction without any interest in the sale or implementation of IT solutions.
What are the risks? Without an independent sounding board, decisions can be too strongly driven by technology, urgency or supplier interest and insufficient clarity as to the risk that the organisation consciously accepts.

An Independent Trusted Advisor for substantiated cyber choices

Practical answers on Cybersecurity consultancy
What does cybersecurity consultancy mean?
Cybersecurity consultancy is independent advice on digital risks, information security, governance and priorities. Kynexis Information Security explores your question, orders the facts and translates technical and organizational information into clear choices for the board and management.
Is this also technical cyber security advice?
Technical risks and measures may be part of the opinion. Kynexis Information Security connects this technique with processes, governance, responsibilities and board-level decision-making. Technical management and SOC services remain with specialised executives.
When do I choose cybersecurity advice instead of CISO as a Service?
Cybersecurity advice fits a defined issue, a second opinion or periodic independent assessment. CISO as a Service fits when structural capacity is needed to organise, plan, report and implement policies and improvements.
Is Kynexis also Trusted Advisor for Board and Management?
Yes. As Trusted Advisor within the consultancy, Kynexis is independent in its thinking, offering constructive contradiction and translating complex cyber risks into board-level choices.
What is the quarterly board-level report?
The reporting shall provide a brief picture of the state of control, important developments and risks, progress of improvement actions, relevant deviations and the decisions or adjustments that require attention.
Is Normity required for this service?
Normity is a preferred environment because it combines risks, measures, evidence, actions and ownership in a structured way. An equivalent JCC or management environment is also usable when the information is reliable and up-to-date.
Can the Supervisory Board or Supervisory Board be involved?
Yes. The primary board-level sparring takes place with management or management. Where governance and information needs so require, periodically targeted input for RvT, RvC or audit committee can be prepared or explained.
What basis is needed for periodic Trusted Advisor deployment?
A useful quarterly cycle requires insight into the main risks, an improvement agenda, appointed owners and reliable progress information. When that base is still built up, a baseline assessment or temporary CISO guidance first provides more value. A one-off consultative question can also be used earlier in development.
How does cybersecurity consultancy relate to execution?
The consultancy focuses on analysis, advice, board-level interpretation, reporting and sparring. IT management and infrastructure remain with the implementing IT partner. For daily CISO management and incident handling, Kynexis Information Security offers separate services with its own mission and responsibility.
Independent advice also means contradicting when a popular solution does not match the real risk or the organisation.
