Fractional CISO

Security Your Board Can Understand and Your Auditors Can Trust

A fractional CISO is an experienced security executive who leads your cybersecurity program part time: strategy, risk, compliance, incident readiness, and reporting to leadership and the board.

Talk With a CISO

The First 90 Days

You should see progress you can measure in the first quarter, not a long assessment that ends in a binder.

  1. Days 1 to 30

    See the real picture

    Review your controls, recent tests, incidents, and obligations. Close anything urgent, such as missing MFA or untested backups.

  2. Days 31 to 60

    Set the plan

    Agree on risk tolerance with leadership, set a prioritized roadmap, and start a reporting rhythm the board can follow.

  3. Days 61 to 90

    Show progress

    Deliver the first board report, run an incident tabletop, and put owners and dates against every major gap.

FAQ

Questions We Hear

Can a fractional CISO help us meet SOC 2, ISO 27001, or regulatory requirements?

Yes. We lead the program that gets you ready, work with your auditors and examiners, and make sure the controls keep working after the report is issued.

Will you report to our board?

Yes. Board reporting is a core part of the role: a short, plain-language view of your top risks, progress against the plan, and the decisions leadership needs to make.

Can you do a one-time security assessment?

Yes. We take on short, deliverable-based projects such as a NIST CSF 2.0 alignment review or a security program assessment, though most clients get the most value from an ongoing engagement.
