Fractional CISO and Trusted Advisor Services

Get a seasoned professional and accelerate your security now

A fractional Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), also called a virtual CISO or a vCISO, provides organizations with access to experienced security professionals who function as their CISO or trusted security advisor on a virtual and part-time basis.

Organizations today face many challenges related to security and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). Additionally, demand for cybersecurity professionals continues to exceed supply, making employing a full-time CISO difficult and expensive for many companies. By choosing a fractional CISO, organizations can leverage the knowledge and experience of seasoned security professionals without the need for a full-time, in-house CISO, enabling cost-effective and efficient security management.
