Patrick B. — Chief Information Security Officer (Freelance)

As one chapter closes, a new opportunity to drive security excellence begins.

My CISO-as-a-Service mandate with parking.brussels wraps up this Friday, 11 September. I want to extend my sincere thanks to the teams there for their unwavering trust and the high-quality collaboration that allowed us to achieve so much together.

Starting Monday, 14 September, I am available for a new freelance mission where I can apply my 30+ years of expertise to your security challenges. Whether you need to bridge a leadership gap or navigate complex regulatory waters, I am ready to step into the following roles:

🔹 CISO as a Service / Fractional CISO

🔹 Interim CISO

🔹 Senior Cybersecurity & GRC Consultant

🔹 ISO/IEC 27001 and NIS2 Expert

🔹 Information Security Governance, Risk & Compliance Advisor

🔹 Security Transformation or Compliance Programme Lead

I specialize in helping public and private sector organizations across Belgium and Europe build pragmatic security governance that doesn't just check a box, but actively supports business objectives.

My core focus areas include:

• Information security governance and executive advisory

• ISMS design, implementation, and continuous improvement (ISO/IEC 27001)

• NIS2 and GDPR compliance strategies

• Risk management, internal audits, and executive reporting

• Securing critical and highly regulated environments

• Security awareness, training, and talent development

• IT/OT security convergence (ISA/IEC 62443)

I am looking for a project where I can translate strategic vision into tangible results through a hands-on, pragmatic approach. In an era of increasing threats and tightening regulations, having the right leadership in place is no longer optional.
