Fractional Leadership
Fractional CISO
Security leadership on a fractional basis, also known as a virtual CISO or vCISO. For businesses carrying real security risk but not ready for a full-time CISO hire.
When the role fits.
Security has stopped being a quiet problem for most businesses. Insurance applications ask harder questions each year. Customers and partners ask for SOC 2 or similar attestations. Incidents that used to happen to other companies now make the news weekly. But a full-time CISO is a senior executive hire that most businesses aren't yet sized for.
A CISO fills that gap. Executive-level security thinking, scaled to how much of it your business actually needs, without the salary or the hiring timeline.
What the role covers.
- Risk posture assessment and remediation prioritization
- Compliance readiness (SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST, CMMC, and adjacent frameworks)
- Security roadmap aligned to business risk, not an off-the-shelf checklist
- Vendor and tool evaluation for the security stack
- Incident response planning and tabletop exercises
- Security reviews of major technology decisions before the decisions are made
Our CISO practice is ramping up.
We're building this practice deliberately. Rather than put a roster of names on a page, we'd rather scope engagements against real business risk and confirm fit before we commit.
If you're carrying security risk you know about, or you're facing a compliance deadline, or you just want a second set of eyes on your security posture, get in touch. We'll walk through what you need and tell you honestly whether we're the right answer or not.
How CISO engagements work.
- Scoped to your risk profile and compliance timeline, not a template retainer.
- Vendor-independent. We don't resell security products or take commissions on the tools we recommend.
- No contract should outlast the work that pays for it. 30 days notice to part ways.
Start with your free hour.
Free hour. We'll walk through your security posture, the risk you know about, and the risk you probably don't. Then we'll tell you honestly whether a CISO engagement, a point security project, or something else entirely is the right answer.
