Remote Part Time CISO to keep our ISO 27001 sharp, train our team

Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

Most ISO 27001 work bores good people to death. We made ours genuinely useful, and we want to keep it that way. We love 80/20. We use ISO 27001 to be more pro and more efficient, not to drown in paperwork. The system is woven into how we work day to day. It helps, it does not hinder. The heavy lifting is already done. Our ISMS is built, certified to the latest ISO 27001 standard, and we have passed our audit with Amtivo as our certification body. For the next ~2.5 years we are in maintenance mode: keep it current, keep it sharp, pass the surveillance audits. No full rebuild needed. But we want more than a maintainer. We want a part time CISO. Someone with real hands on IT experience who knows when documentation and process actually help, and when they are just there to tick a box. We need the former. Anybody can "write" with AI now. That is not the skill we are buying. What we need is a smart, fast learner who is also a teacher. A strong communicator who can support and train our team, run security awareness, and spot ways to make things better. Someone who can be the security brain we call on. Our CTO owns security at Parka. You would be the expert on tap: answering security questions, guiding decisions, keeping us audit ready. The commitment is light and steady. A few dedicated hours per month, plus availability when real questions come up. Remote, working with an Iceland based team. We run everything in ClickUp, so ClickUp experience is an advantage.
