THE FRACTIONAL ADVANTAGE
Security threats are becoming more sophisticated and pervasive, yet organizations are reluctant to hire a full-time executive. Qualified executive security leadership is scarce. Hiring a CISO is expensive, and the average tenure is under two years. The combination of cost, tenure, and recruiting challenges creates problems that many companies cannot afford.
Fractional CISO services address these challenges through a fundamentally different delivery model that aligns expertise with actual needs rather than arbitrary time commitments. By providing executive-level security leadership on a fractional basis, fractional CISO services deliver several advantages that extend beyond simple cost savings.
Our fractional CISO services bring institutional knowledge, providing perspectives that internal hires rarely possess. This breadth of experience translates into faster problem resolution, more effective risk prioritization, and the ability to leverage proven strategies rather than learning through trial and error. Our expertise can provide an independent analysis of an organization’s security program. In many cases, this can help identify critical vulnerabilities and implement remediation strategies within weeks that internal teams had overlooked for months or years.
Our fractional CISO service model encompasses a comprehensive suite of strategic and operational capabilities designed to establish, mature, and maintain robust security programs. These fractional CISO services provide continuous leadership and accountability across the entire security lifecycle, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time employee.
