Cybersecurity Consulting FAQs
Have a question? We’re here to help.
What cybersecurity consulting services does Kernshell provide?
Kernshell provides cybersecurity consulting across security strategy, cyber risk assessments, regulatory compliance (DORA, NIS2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR), Zero Trust, vCISO, governance, third-party risk, incident response planning, cloud security, and security awareness. Every engagement is led by senior security consultants.
What is the difference between cybersecurity consulting and managed security services?
Cybersecurity consulting focuses on strategy, governance, architecture, compliance, and risk management. Managed security services provide ongoing operational support such as SOC monitoring, SIEM, vulnerability management, and incident response. Consulting defines the security strategy; managed services execute and maintain it.
How does Kernshell approach cyber risk quantification for board-level reporting?
We use the FAIR methodology to quantify cyber risk in financial terms by analysing critical assets, threats, vulnerabilities, and potential business impact. This enables boards to prioritise security investments using measurable financial risk rather than qualitative ratings.
How does Kernshell deliver regulatory compliance advisory without creating compliance overhead?
We assess your existing security controls, identify compliance gaps, and integrate regulatory requirements into your existing security programme. This reduces unnecessary documentation while meeting frameworks such as DORA, NIS2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.
When does an organisation need a virtual CISO rather than a permanent CISO appointment?
A virtual CISO is ideal for organisations needing executive cybersecurity leadership without hiring a full-time CISO, requiring specialist regulatory expertise, managing major security initiatives, or maintaining leadership during CISO transitions.
How does Kernshell approach third-party cyber risk management for regulated industries?
We build risk-based third-party security programmes with vendor tiering, security assessments, continuous monitoring, regulatory compliance, and executive reporting. Critical suppliers receive deeper assessments and ongoing monitoring to reduce supply chain risk.
How does Kernshell facilitate incident response tabletop exercises and what do they deliver?
We facilitate realistic tabletop exercises tailored to your industry and threat landscape, testing incident response, communication, regulatory reporting, and recovery procedures. Each exercise concludes with a detailed report and prioritised recommendations to strengthen your incident response plan.
