Fractional CISO & Security Governance Services

Governance-first security and risk leadership built on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, right-sized to your business goals and budget. Every engagement is structured around the six core NIST CSF functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Three service tiers are available. The Starter tier (8-12 hours/month) covers security discovery, essential policies, cyber insurance readiness, a 3-month roadmap, and monthly executive summaries — ideal for businesses establishing their first formal security program. The Standard tier (15-20 hours/month) adds incident response playbook development, security awareness programs, KPI/KRI dashboards, vendor risk frameworks, and quarterly strategy reviews. The Comprehensive tier (25-35 hours/month) includes everything in Standard plus SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness, advanced threat modeling, board-ready security reporting, and M&A due diligence. Supported compliance frameworks include NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0.1, NY DFS 23 NYCRR 500, CMMC Level 2, HITRUST CSF, CIS Controls v8, FedRAMP, GDPR, CCPA, and NIST AI RMF. Each engagement works alongside your existing IT team and MSP — I provide governance and strategic direction while they handle day-to-day implementation.
