Fractional CISO Services
You need security leadership but aren't ready for a full-time CISO. Maybe you're facing your first SOC 2 audit, enterprise customers are asking tough questions, or your board wants a security roadmap. A fractional CISO gets you there faster and at a fraction of the cost.
Sound Familiar?
Security leadership that builds, not just advises
Every CISO on our team has held the role in-house. We've been on the bridge during a breach, built programs from nothing, and sat across the table from the auditor. That experience is the difference between someone who recommends and someone who owns the outcome.
So we don't hand you a hundred-page roadmap and disappear. We build the program with your team, operate it alongside you, and stay on the hook for whether it actually holds up. You get the strategy and the execution from the same people, and a direct line to reach us when it matters.
You get a CISO who has built and run programs before, at the cost and commitment that fit where your company is now. Scale the hours up or down as your needs change.
What We Deliver
Security Program That Works
Policies, controls, and processes designed for your actual business, not copy-pasted from a template.
Compliance Achieved
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, HITRUST. We've guided dozens of companies through successful first-time audits.
Board-Ready Reporting
Translate technical risk into business terms. Your board and investors get the clarity they need.
Enterprise Sales Unblocked
Answer security questionnaires with confidence. Turn security from a blocker into a competitive advantage.
Vendor & Architecture Guidance
Opinionated recommendations from real field experience, not sales pitches. We hunt for effective tooling, right sized for your budget and results.
Incident Response Ready
When something goes wrong, we pull in the team and help drive the incident to resolution. On call in Slack, not a ticket queue.
Your first 90 days
Execution starts in month one, not after a quarter of assessments. The quick wins ship in the first 30 days, and by day 90 you have a security program that runs day to day.
Wins on the board
We execute from week one. The quick wins get shipped, the critical issues that cannot wait get addressed, and the long-term roadmap is set. By day 30 your posture has measurably moved and everyone knows the plan.
Build the durable program
With the fires out, we put the lasting pieces in place: policies that fit how your team works, the controls your next audit will ask for, and answers ready for the security questionnaires holding up deals. The program starts operating, not just existing on paper.
An operating security program
You now have a security program that runs day to day, with a CISO actively driving it: setting direction, running the roadmap, and reporting to the board. Reachable in Slack, and moving the program forward, not just on call when something breaks.
