Information Systems Consulting
Make the Right Choices, Drive Your Transformation
contact us today Governance, Management, Compliance: Bring Clarity
Is your information system performing efficiently? Do you need an external perspective to oversee your digital projects? How do you manage your AI initiatives?
At NowBrains, we support SMEs, mid-sized companies, associations, and public institutions in structuring, optimizing, and governing their information systems (IS).
Our mission: help you make the right decisions, at the right time, with the right people.
Why choose NowBrains IS consultants?
Our belief: a poorly governed information system is costly, slows digital transformation, and reduces efficiency. We have structured our IS consulting offer around three pillars to meet all your challenges: strategic management, project scoping, and compliance.
1. Fractional CIO: Lead with an Expert, Without Expanding Your Structure
Are you an SME or mid-sized company in growth or digital transition, or simply without an internal CIO?
The result: a fragmented vision, lack of governance, multiple providers… and little strategic direction.
Our Fractional CIO (also called “outsourced CIO”) service offers you a clear, expert framework:
- A dedicated senior CIO
- Regular involvement (1–2 days per week), adjustable
- Cross-functional management of your IS projects and internal teams: roadmap, arbitration, monitoring
- Coaching for department heads (CFO, COO) and HR support if needed (recruiting an internal CIO)
- Interface with your service providers handling IT operations or business applications.
With a Fractional CIO, you gain a partner who supports both management and business growth. We’re committed to helping you improve performance and profitability.
All within a flexible framework: contract adjustable monthly, billing by project or per day based on your needs.
In an IT expert environment: IT managers, CISOs, technicians. Our teams communicate daily to provide the best solutions.

2. Fractional DPO: Ensure Your GDPR Compliance
Want to comply with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)? Launching a new activity involving sensitive data?
Our DPO (Data Protection Officer) will assist you by:
- Leading awareness workshops to involve your business teams,
- Conducting a complete GDPR compliance audit of your website,
- Writing and maintaining your data processing register,
- Managing rights requests (access, correction, deletion).
In short, you have a single, responsive, and competent contact who ensures rigorous yet accessible data governance. Simple, transparent, and fully compliant.
3. IS Audit and Project Assistance (AMOA): Secure Your Projects, Control Your Investments
Changing ERP? Merging systems? Redesigning your IS? Without clear scoping, failure is guaranteed: redundant tools, budget overruns, disengaged users.
Our audits provide a clear, prioritized view:
- SmartMapping Audit : your current systems
- Business workshops: involving users early in the diagnosis phase
- Action plan & roadmap: a shared direction
- Clear specifications, software selection assistance, change management
- AMOA: project assistance to coordinate your IS initiatives
- Validation: approving applications based on specs and security requirements
- Training teams for better software adoption
Our consultants are facilitators and experts. Experienced and pragmatic.
Projects last from 1 to 3 months, either one-time or iterative.
You can receive a 3-year action plan with a budget overview, giving management and finance teams clear visibility into IT projects.NowBrains is your trusted third party to guide your decisions.
4. Regulatory Compliance: Avoid Penalties, Secure Your Practices
GDPR, NIS2, sectoral obligations… Information system regulations evolve rapidly and carry heavy responsibilities.
Our “IS Compliance” offer provides a 360° view: legal, technical, and organizational.
We help you:
- Build your GDPR processing register
- Implement solid security documentation (BCP/DRP, ISSP)
- Map your IS and data flows
- Collaborate with your DPOs and CISOs – or provide ours if needed on a fractional basis
- Reduce your exposure to negative audits (especially from clients) and data loss risks
Each action is traceable, measurable, and validated step by step. You always know where you stand and what remains to be done.
