The Problem
Buyers, insurers, and boards expect a named security owner. A full-time CISO may be premature; leaving the gap open stalls deals and renewals.
Service
Fractional vCISO
Senior security leadership on a part-time cadence — strategy, risk priorities, and stakeholder communication.
Not an MSP. We don’t sell managed IT, helpdesk, or 24/7 monitoring. You keep your IT or MSP for operations; we cover the security leadership layer.
What You Own
- A named fractional CISO on an agreed cadence.
- Risk priorities and a living roadmap.
- Board / customer / insurer communication.
- Strategic metrics that show program progress and risk posture.
- Questionnaire ownership when diligence hits.
Sample Deliverables
- Security posture brief for leadership.
- Board-ready metrics on progress and risk posture — not a Vulnerability Dump.
- Prioritized 90-day / annual roadmap.
- Questionnaire responses with evidence pointers.
- Cadence notes for board or exec updates.
