Consulting and compliance

Your board wants a security strategy. Your regulators want evidence.

NIS2 is in force. DORA applies to financial services. Cyber insurance underwriters are asking harder questions. Whether you need senior security leadership through a vCISO, or a structured compliance programme across IT, OT, and IoT, Edge7 Networks delivers both. by practitioners who also run security operations, not consultants who hand you a report and leave.

The challenge
The gap between what your board expects and what your team can deliver.

Your board wants a cybersecurity strategy. Your auditors want evidence that controls are in place. Your insurers are asking harder questions. And your regulators may now require formal compliance with NIS2 or DORA.

Some organisations need senior security leadership to own that direction at board level. Others already have leadership but need a structured compliance programme that holds up between audits, across IT, OT, and IoT.

Many need both. Edge7 Networks delivers both. By practitioners who also run security operations, not consultants who hand you a report and leave.

NIS2 is in forceRisk management, incident readiness, and supply chain due diligence for essential and important entities across the EU.
DORA applies to financial servicesICT risk management and digital operational resilience. Regulators expect evidence, not intentions.
Cyber insurance is getting harderUnderwriters want detailed answers about your security posture, controls, and incident readiness before they will quote.
No CISO to own the answersHiring a full-time CISO is expensive. Leaving security ungoverned creates gaps auditors and regulators will find.
OT and IoT are blind spotsMost compliance programmes cover IT and stop. Industrial systems, building management, and connected devices remain out of scope.
How we help
Two services. Two different problems solved.
Your board needs someone to own security strategy. You cannot justify a full-time CISO.
A named, embedded vCISO who takes ownership of your security direction. Board reporting, security programme development, risk assessments, policy creation, vendor management, and incident readiness. Strategic leadership at a fraction of the cost, from someone who does the work, not just the slides.

You have compliance obligations across IT, OT, and IoT. And no clear path to meeting them.
Maturity assessments, gap analysis, compliance roadmaps, and implementation support across NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, and IEC 62443. Most compliance providers address IT and call it done. Edge7 Networks works across IT, OT, and IoT with the technical depth to bring them properly into scope.

What sets us apart

Practitioners who deliver. Not consultants who advise.

Most consulting firms hand you a report and leave. Edge7 Networks delivers the strategy and runs the operations that satisfy it. The same team that advises you is the team that manages your security. That changes everything.

vCISO

Wears your hat, not ours. Where Edge7 Networks also provides operational services, your vCISO holds us to the same standard as any other supplier.
Embedded, not observing. A named person in your governance structure. Present in meetings, listed in the RACI, tracking actions to closure.
Flexible daily rate. No minimum contracts, no lock-ins. Buy the days you need and scale up or down as demand changes.
Strategic leadership

IT, OT and IoT Compliance

IT, OT, and IoT in scope. Most providers assess IT and call it done. We bring operational technology and connected devices into scope with the technical depth they require.
A working system, not a report. The Cybersecurity Compliance Toolkit runs your programme month after month. Actions tracked, evidence maintained, board visibility built in.
Start with trust, not commitment. Every engagement begins with a maturity assessment. The report is yours, whether you continue with us or not.
Structured compliance programme
Both services are delivered by practitioners who also run security operations. The advice is grounded in what works, not in what looks good in a presentation.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about cybersecurity consulting, vCISO services, and compliance programmes.

Edge7 Networks provides three consulting service lines: vCISO (virtual Chief Information Security Officer) services for organisations that need board-level security leadership; IT, OT, and IoT compliance programmes covering NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0, and Cyber Essentials; and security advisory for specific projects, risk assessments, and board-level reporting. All consulting services are delivered by practitioners who also operate managed security services. Not consultants who only advise.

Edge7 Networks delivers compliance programmes for NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive 2), DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act), ISO 27001:2022 (Information Security Management), NIST CSF 2.0 (Cybersecurity Framework), and Cyber Essentials. Programmes are built around a maturity assessment of the organisation's current state, a gap analysis against the relevant framework, and a structured implementation roadmap.

Many compliance consultants recommend controls they have never implemented or operated. Edge7 Networks' consulting team are also the people who design, deploy, and manage the security infrastructure their clients run. This means recommended controls are grounded in what works in practice. Not just what looks good in a policy document. For organisations that want consulting and operational security managed by the same team, Edge7 Networks can provide both under a single engagement.
