Independent Contractor Contact

1: How do I as an individual convince companies to take up my services as an ISMS expert individual contractor

 Basically, you need to demonstrate to them how you can add value to their business:

•  How your experience and skills can help them improve information security
• How well you are recognized in the market from previously delivered services (i.e., reference customers) and support to the community (through presentations, publications, training, etc.),
• How well do you know customers’ industries
