Security leadership

Interim CISO

From $2,500/mo CAD · scoped to you

When your security leader leaves or you hit a crunch, the program can’t just stop. We step in as an interim CISO to keep audits, customer reviews, and the roadmap moving while you search for a permanent hire, or decide whether you need one.

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

Rapid onboarding into your program, tooling, and in-flight commitments
Ongoing ownership of the security roadmap, audits, and customer security reviews
Board and executive reporting so leadership stays informed
Stabilization of anything that was mid-flight when the seat went empty
A clean handoff pack for your permanent hire when they arrive

Built for teams that...

  • Companies whose CISO or head of security just departed
  • Teams in a crunch (an audit, a breach, a big deal) with no senior owner
  • Boards that need experienced security leadership on short notice
  • Startups bridging to a permanent hire without losing momentum

What you walk away with

Your security program keeps its momentum through the gap: audits stay on track, customer reviews get answered, and the next permanent leader inherits an organized program instead of a mess.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a fractional CISO?

An interim CISO is a temporary, higher-intensity engagement to cover a specific gap, usually a departure or a crunch. A fractional CISO is an ongoing part-time arrangement. Many clients start interim and convert to fractional once things stabilize.

How fast can you start?

Quickly. Interim coverage is the point. We prioritize rapid onboarding so nothing in flight stalls. We confirm timing on the discovery call.

Will you help us hire the permanent CISO?

Yes, if you want. We can help define the role, screen candidates, and hand off a documented program so the incoming leader ramps fast.

What does it cost?

It varies by intensity and duration. Interim coverage is more hands-on than a standing fractional arrangement, so we scope it to your situation and point you to pricing.
