vCISO / Fractional CISO Leadership

Executive-level security leadership with hands-on involvement — right-sized to your budget and business goals. A fractional CISO provides the strategic security governance your business needs without the $250,000+ salary of a full-time executive. What you get: strategic security leadership aligned to business objectives, board-level expertise and executive communication, vendor coordination and technology decisions guided by governance frameworks, and clear risk ownership across your organization. This service is perfect for SMBs with 20-500 employees who need security leadership but cannot justify a full-time hire. The engagement follows a proven three-step process: Assessment (evaluate current security posture and risks), Strategy (develop governance framework and roadmap), and Govern (ongoing oversight, measurement, and continuous improvement). Monthly deliverables include executive reporting with risk summaries and KPI dashboards, plus implementation support covering policy reviews, vendor assessments, and incident coordination. I work alongside your existing IT team and MSP — providing the governance layer while they handle day-to-day operations.
