What Challenges Are SMEs and Mid-Sized Companies Facing Today?
In many organizations, the information system has grown through successive layers of solutions, often without overall coherence. When a CIO or CISO is absent, overloaded or leaves the company, the situation quickly becomes critical. Decisions are postponed, projects stall and risks increase.
At the same time, cyber threats are multiplying and regulatory requirements are becoming more demanding. Many organizations lack a clear IT mapping, a formalized Information Security Policy, or a truly operational Business Continuity Plan. Executives therefore lack visibility and may take risks without fully realizing it.
Finally, digital transformation and Artificial Intelligence represent both opportunities and risks. Without the right expertise, automation and digitalization projects remain fragmented, insufficiently secured and rarely aligned with business objectives.
These challenges slow growth and generate stress and additional costs.

FAQ
What Is an Interim CIO?
An Interim CIO is a senior IT expert engaged for an agreed period to stabilize, manage or transform a company’s Information System.
Their presence is regular within the organization—one day per week, for example—allowing them to address business imperatives and support executives in achieving jointly defined objectives.
Does NowBrains Operate On-Site?
Yes. Our IT consultants can operate on-site, remotely or in a hybrid model. They can participate in executive meetings and provide cybersecurity awareness training either on-site or remotely.
Our teams operate across France with 14 offices, as well as in Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg.
Is This Suitable for SMEs and Mid-Sized Companies?
Yes. A part-time model provides access to high-level expertise without bearing the cost of a full-time position.
In addition, our experts leverage the full range of NowBrains group capabilities—managed services, cybersecurity, data and Artificial Intelligence—to deliver the most appropriate solution.
Why Engage an Interim CISO?
An Interim CISO enables rapid reduction of cyber risks, ensures regulatory compliance and establishes sustainable Information System security. Depending on your company’s size, a full-time CISO may not be the most suitable solution for both budgetary and operational reasons.
However, the regular presence of a cybersecurity professional will significantly enhance your security posture and raise team awareness.
