Fractional Leadership

Fractional CISO

Board-ready security leadership without the $300K salary. Strategy, risk management, and compliance oversight on your terms.

Get started

A real security program, not a checkbox

Your fractional CISO builds and runs your security program as if they were full-time.

01

Security strategy and roadmap

A 12-month security plan aligned to your business goals, funding stage, and regulatory environment. Prioritized by actual risk, not vendor FUD.

02

Board and investor reporting

Monthly security posture reports, risk registers, and executive briefings. When your board asks about security, you have a clear, honest answer ready.

03

Vendor and third-party risk

Security reviews of every SaaS vendor, contractor, and integration partner. We assess their controls so a breach in their environment does not become a breach in yours.

04

Policy and compliance management

Acceptable use, data classification, incident response, access control. We write the policies, train your team, and keep everything current for SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001.

Frequently asked questions

What does a fractional CISO actually do?

A fractional CISO owns your security program part-time: risk decisions, policy, vendor and customer security reviews, compliance roadmaps, and incident oversight. You get executive-level security leadership without a full-time hire. It suits companies that need a security owner but do not yet have the headcount or budget for a salaried CISO.

How is this different from your SOC 2 service?

SOC 2 readiness is a defined project with a finish line. A fractional CISO is ongoing leadership that governs the program after the audit and across frameworks. Many clients start with SOC 2 readiness, then keep us on as fractional CISO to maintain controls, handle questionnaires, and steer the roadmap.

How many hours per month do I get?

Engagements are scoped to your needs rather than sold as fixed hour blocks. Some clients need a few hours a week for governance and questionnaire support, others need heavier involvement during an audit or a deal cycle. We set scope up front and adjust as your requirements change.

Can you sign security questionnaires and represent us to customers?

Yes. Answering enterprise security questionnaires, joining customer security calls, and representing your security posture to prospects is a core part of the role. This is often what unblocks stalled enterprise deals.

What credentials back the role?

Our founder is a published CVE researcher (6 CVEs, including a CVSS 9.1 finding) who has taken a product through SOC 2 Type II covering 76 controls. You get someone who has actually built and operated a compliant security program, not just advised on one.
