ANT Virtual ISO&CISO

– Information Security Officer –

Modern organizations face increasing obligations under GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001, and ePrivacy regulations.
However, not every company can maintain dedicated compliance and security officers internally.

That’s why ANT Virtual DPO (Data Protection Officer) and ANT Virtual CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) exist — providing on-demand expertise, automation, and operational continuity without the cost and complexity of full-time staffing.

Both roles work in synergy through the ID Shield and ANT ecosystem, ensuring consistent protection of personal data, IT infrastructure, and regulatory alignment across your entire organization.

The Virtual CISO safeguards the security, continuity, and resilience of your organization’s IT and operational environment.

It delivers a structured Information Security Management System (ISMS), ensuring compliance with NIS2, ISO 27001, and DORA standards.
