Senior GRC Consultant

Overview

Approach Cyber is a trusted cyber resilience partner supporting organisations across Belgium and Switzerland. With more than 25 years of experience, over 100 experts, and 1000+ happy clients, we help companies face an increasingly complex digital world, one where threats accelerate, regulations expand, and resilience has become non-negotiable.

We are currently living a period of genuine growth. Our GRC team of around 20 experts is at the heart of this momentum, advising organisations across all sectors on how to strengthen their cybersecurity governance, manage risk, and navigate an evolving regulatory landscape. To keep pace with our ambitions, we are looking for a Senior GRC Consultant who wants more than a consulting role—someone who wants to contribute to something actively being built.

You are a seasoned GRC professional who thrives in complex environments and knows how to translate security challenges into business language. You are as comfortable facilitating a board-level risk conversation as you are rolling up your sleeves to implement an ISMS or guide a client through a NIS2 compliance journey.

But beyond this expertise, what makes you stand out is your energy
. You bring ideas, you challenge the status quo, and you are deeply invested in your clients’ success. You want to be part of a team that is growing fast, and you want to grow with it.

Whether you are Dutch-speaking or French-speaking, there is a meaningful role for you here, with one important distinction:

• Dutch-speaking people: Flanders is a strategic priority for Approach Cyber. We have significant ambitions for this region and a growing pipeline of opportunities. As part of your role, you will actively contribute to developing the Flemish market: building relationships, representing Approach at events and industry forums, identifying new opportunities, and acting as a credible face of Approach Cyber with prospects and clients in the region.
  
  This is a core part of what we are looking for.
• French-speaking people: Your primary focus will be client delivery. That said, your expertise and your network are valuable commercial assets. We will expect you to adopt a consultative selling approach (spotting opportunities during missions, engaging naturally with prospects, and contributing to Approach’s visibility in your professional circles).

As a Senior GRC Consultant, your day-to-day will revolve around three areas:

• Perform cybersecurity maturity assessments using our ACAM® (Approach Cybersecurity Assessment Methodology) and other recognised frameworks.
• Design and implement Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) based on ISO 27001, and support clients throughout certification processes.
• Guide clients through NIS2, DORA, and CRA compliance journeys (from gap analysis to operational implementation).
• Develop security roadmaps, define priorities, and translate them into actionable plans that make sense for your client’s business context.
• Lead and coordinate security projects, driving change management and ensuring strategic decisions are turned into concrete results.
• Deliver CISO-as-a-Service engagements: provide strategic and technical guidance, support governance structures, and help clients manage security incidents when they arise.
• Build long-lasting relationships with your clients, as their go-to advisor, not just their consultant.
• Actively represent Approach Cyber in the market: attend events, participate in panels, and build a visible presence in the cybersecurity community.
• Identify and develop new business opportunities, leveraging your network and your expertise as your most credible commercial asset.
• Engage with prospects in a consultative and authentic way
• Report field insights and market intelligence to help shape our go-to-market approach in the region.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of our methodologies, frameworks, and reusable assets.
• Share knowledge with the team: market trends, regulatory evolutions, new frameworks, lessons learnt from the field.
• Support and mentor junior colleagues, helping them grow and succeed on…
