Security leadership

Fractional Head of Security

From $2,500/mo CAD · scoped to you

You need someone senior to own security (the program, the roadmap, the first hires), but you’re not ready to pay for a full-time executive. We run your security function part-time, building it up until it’s ready to hand to a permanent internal leader.

Book a discovery call See pricing
The person in the seat has five published CVEs and has run a SOC 2 Type II end to end in-house, with zero exceptions: the programme.

What we do

Ownership of your security program, roadmap, and priorities
A written strategy and roadmap tied to your actual risks and commitments
Definition of the first security roles, plus help hiring and onboarding them
Regular reporting to leadership and, where relevant, the board
A transition plan for when you bring the function fully in-house

Built for teams that...

  • Scaling startups that have outgrown ad-hoc, engineer-owned security
  • Companies that need a security program but not yet a full-time exec
  • Teams making their first security hires who want the roles and bar set right
  • Founders who want one accountable owner for security

What you walk away with

You get a real, actively run security function, owned, prioritized, and reported on, at a fraction of a full-time executive’s cost, with a clear path to internalize it when the time is right.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as a fractional CISO?

Very close. The emphasis here is on building and running the function (program, roadmap, and hiring) part-time. We tailor the exact title and scope to how your org talks about the role.

Will you help us hire our own security team?

Yes. We define the first roles, set the bar, and help you screen and onboard so you hire the right people in the right order rather than over- or under-hiring.

What happens when we hire a full-time leader?

We plan for it. You get a documented program and a transition so the incoming leader inherits something organized rather than starting from scratch.

How many hours a week is it?

It scales to your stage and needs. We size the engagement on a discovery call and point you to pricing.
