What you get

CISO-level judgment, on your side

You get the strategic layer most businesses skip: someone who looks at the whole picture, keeps you on track, and translates risk into decisions leadership can make.

It's the right tier when security and IT are important to your business and you want ongoing accountability — not a one‑off project.

  • Ongoing security oversight & strategy
  • Quarterly posture reviews
  • Guidance on vendors, tools, and policy
  • Incident response guidance & coordination
  • Plain‑English reporting to leadership
  • Continuity when people and priorities change
How it works

Start with a baseline, then stay on top of it

1

Baseline

We align on priorities and (if needed) run an assessment first.

2

Set the plan

A practical security strategy and roadmap for your business.

3

Stay on top of it

Ongoing oversight, quarterly reviews, and steady guidance.

4

Report & evolve

Plain‑English reporting so leadership always knows where you stand.

Fit check

Do you need a Fractional CISO?

A great fit if…

  • Security/IT is material to your business
  • You want ongoing accountability, not a one‑off
  • A full‑time CISO isn't in the budget
  • You need someone to keep the plan moving

Look elsewhere if…

  • You only need documentation → Runbook
  • You want a one‑off review → Runbook + Assessment
  • You need a full‑time, in‑house CISO, 40 hrs/week
FAQ

CISO questions

You get senior, strategic oversight at a fraction of the cost, focused on your priorities. It's oversight and strategy, not a full in‑house team or 24/7 on‑call coverage.
Security posture takes a few quarters to establish and show results. The minimum keeps it from being a hollow, month‑to‑month gesture.
Not necessarily, but a baseline assessment is a strong way to start. I'll recommend the right entry point on the intro call.
Standing check‑ins, ongoing guidance, and a quarterly posture review. The cadence is tailored to your needs on the first call.
Yes. Many clients start with the Runbook + Assessment and move to ongoing oversight once they see what's needed.
