CISO – Security Leadership / NIS2 (Brussels, Hybrid) - Freelance

A Belgian federal public institution is looking for an experienced CISO to take the lead on its information security and steer its security governance during a key period.

In this leadership role, you will own the organisation's security strategy and translate regulatory obligations into concrete action in a NIS2 and GDPR context. Your scope spans governance and risk management, security policies, identity and access management (Microsoft EntraID), cryptography, audits and overall security posture. You will define and enforce security policies, coordinate audits, advise senior stakeholders, and ensure compliance with applicable legislation, working with controls such as firewalls, anti-virus and encryption.

What makes this mission attractive: a high-impact leadership role within a public institution, real visibility on strategic security decisions, and a meaningful mission with a clear regulatory purpose.

This is a short-term hybrid mission based in Brussels, with an ASAP start, open to freelance profiles.

This opportunity is offered by FuturWork, a recruitment and staffing firm specialised in IT and Cybersecurity profiles, operating across Belgium, Luxembourg, France and the UK.
