D-WINGS Consulting LLP
PILLAR III · MANAGED & VIRTUAL SERVICES

Continuous leadership, without the full-time hire.

Security, governance and technology leadership on retainer. Someone accountable for the risk register, the control calendar and the board report — every month, not once a year.

WHEN THIS FITS
A growing organisation without a full-time CISO
Preparing for ISO certification
Needing continuous ISMS operation, not a point-in-time build
Regulated, and needing governance oversight
Policies exist on paper but operational compliance is weak
Management needs regular cyber-risk reporting
IT has grown organically, without a formal technology roadmap
Technology investments need stronger business alignment
Multiple technology vendors or partners require stronger oversight
PROJECT CONSULTING VS. MANAGED SERVICES
Project Consulting
A defined scope with a defined end date — an ISMS build, a risk assessment, a policy set. The engagement concludes when the deliverable is complete.
Ongoing Managed / Virtual Services
No end date. Someone is accountable for the risk register, the control calendar and the board report every month — so the posture doesn't decay between audits.

The register this pillar maintains is the same one VAPT feeds.
