Your outsourced RSSI
Secure your information system without having a dedicated in-house resource. A part-time Information Systems Security Manager, available exactly to the extent of your real needs.
Why use an outsourced RSSI?
Not every organization needs or can afford a full-time RSSI. Yet regulatory pressure, the reality of cyber risks, and the fact that very small businesses, SMEs, and mid-sized companies accounted for 48 % of cyberattack victims recorded by ANSSI in 2025, compared with 37 % in 2024, while customer requirements demand robust, actively managed security governance.
An outsourced RSSI provides the right level of expertise: you benefit from an experienced professional who manages your information security, without the cost or rigidity of a full-time hire. A pragmatic, field-oriented approach.
The benefits of a part-time RSSI
Cost efficiency
Lower costs compared with a full-time position, and tangible acceleration of your cyber projects.
Flexibility
An ideal transitional alternative before hiring: you improve your security from now on, at your own pace.
Cyber governance
Structured security management, awareness training and training your teams in the right practices.
Security documents
Drafting your PSSI, your security policies and guidelines, tailored to your reality.
Strategic vision
An external, objective view of your cyber maturity, to prioritize the highest-impact actions.
Executive reporting
Clear reports for your management and governance bodies, enabling informed security oversight.
Who is this service for?
The outsourced RSSI service is designed for SMEs and mid-sized companies that do not require a full-time RSSI, but still need to manage their information security seriously. It is also suitable for organizations in transition that want to structure their cybersecurity before making an internal hire, without leaving a gap during the interim period.
Our methodology
We work as part of recurring support over 6 to 12 months. We set up and then monitor short- and medium-term action plans, prioritizing the highest-impact actions. At the same time, we ensure the skills development of your internal teams, so that security becomes sustainable and autonomous, rather than dependent on a service provider. No unnecessary theory: only practical field work.

Frequently asked questions
Outsourced RSSI or part-time CIO: what is the difference?
The outsourced RSSI manages information security: strategy, risk management, compliance, and team awareness. The part-time CIO manages the information system as a whole (infrastructure, operations, IT projects). The two roles are complementary and may be handled by different people depending on the size of your organization.
How much time per month does an outsourced RSSI spend with you?
The level of involvement is sized to your context and redefined at each milestone, as part of recurring support over 6 to 12 months. We define this workload with you from the first discussion, based on your current maturity and priorities.
Who remains legally responsible for IS security?
The outsourced RSSI advises, manages, and implements, but legal responsibility for information system security remains with the company's management. Our role is to give you the means to assume that responsibility confidently, with clear and documented governance.
Can this later evolve into an internal hire?
Yes, this is even a common use case: the outsourced RSSI structures your security governance and trains your teams alongside their assignments, making the handover easier when you hire an RSSI internally.
Why choose BCIT as your external RSSI?
Adaptability
We start each assignment with an assessment of your real context (business, constraints, maturity) before prioritizing a 6 to 12 month action plan, not a generic checklist copied from one organization to another.
Dual expertise
Technological and legal expertise, with constant monitoring of threats and regulations.
Transferred autonomy
We train your internal teams alongside management activities, so that security remains effective over time without depending on an external provider.
Ready to secure your IS without hiring full-time?
Let's take 15 minutes for an initial discussion. We will understand your context, your level of maturity and your priorities, then propose RSSI support sized to your needs.
