What is a Fractional CISO?
A Fractional CISO is a cybersecurity executive who provides CISO-level expertise on a part-time or contract basis. This model allows organizations to access senior security leadership without the cost of a full-time role.
Fractional CISOs typically support strategy, risk management, and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) initiatives.
What is a Fractional CISO used for?
Fractional CISOs are used by organizations that need strategic guidance but lack the resources for a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). They help define Security Posture, implement frameworks, and guide Incident Response (IR) planning.
This role is particularly valuable for small to mid-sized organizations seeking to mature their cybersecurity capabilities.
