Get startedYour fractional CISO builds and runs your security program as if they were full-time.
A 12-month security plan aligned to your business goals, funding stage, and regulatory environment. Prioritized by actual risk, not vendor FUD.
Monthly security posture reports, risk registers, and executive briefings. When your board asks about security, you have a clear, honest answer ready.
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.
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.
A fractional CISO often runs alongside a broader SOC 2 readiness engagement and auditor management and advocacy once the audit starts. See pricing for how these bundle.
Free PDFs, no card
The IR plan template and the vendor security questionnaire as PDFs, plus the readiness checklists. Free, no card.

What the arrangement changes
Most companies at this stage need the judgment more often than they need the headcount. These are the numbers that follow from that.
Cost comparison is against a loaded full-time salary at the seniority these engagements are staffed at. The pass rate is across the audits we have taken clients into to date.
Security leadership from day one.
We audit your current security posture, identify the critical gaps, and produce a risk-ranked remediation plan during the onboarding month.
Policies, tooling, training, and incident response procedures. We implement the security program piece by piece, starting with whatever unblocks your next enterprise deal.
Monthly risk reviews, quarterly board reports, annual policy updates, and continuous compliance monitoring. Your CISO stays engaged as long as you need them.
A fractional CISO is not advice by email. You get a running programme: controls tracked, vendors reviewed, and a board-ready view of where you stand.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our principal is a published security researcher (5 CVEs, including a CVSS 9.1 finding) who has taken a product through SOC 2 Type II from nothing. You get someone who has actually built and operated a compliant security program, not just advised on one.
