Your Accountability Partner:

Carolin Desirée Toepfer

As an external Chief Information Security Officer, I've guided organizations, from regulated enterprises to lean startup teams, toward a stronger cybersecurity posture, secure AI adoption, and CyberTrust or ISO certification.

I sit at the table where the rules are written: as a member of several EU NIS2, DORA, and CRA working groups, I collaborate directly with legal experts, representatives of other highly regulated organizations, and the relevant authorities, giving me first-hand insight into where regulation is heading, not just where it stands today.

Clients know me for efficient workflows, precise documentation, and supplier assessments that are rigorous yet fair - enabling them to innovate on a secure foundation instead of stalling under compliance overhead.

As an entrepreneur and cybersecurity strategist, I understand exactly what highly regulated companies and public authorities in the European market require from their suppliers. I translate those requirements into cost-efficient security measures that don't just protect your business, they become a reason clients choose you over the competition.

In this course, I teach you the exact best practices I use with my clients. No theory detached from reality, just what actually works.
