What is a vCISO?
The Leadership You Need,
Without the Full-Time Overhead
A Virtual CISO (vCISO) is an experienced cybersecurity executive who serves your organization part-time. Instead of hiring a full-time CISO at $300,000–$400,000+ per year, you get the same expertise and strategic leadership — sized to what you actually need.
Who Needs a vCISO?
Small and mid-size businesses without a dedicated security team, organizations facing compliance requirements, companies recovering from a security incident, and businesses preparing for audits or certifications.
What You Get
Strategic security leadership, policy development, vendor risk management, incident response oversight, board-level reporting, and ongoing compliance monitoring — all in one engagement.
Why Fractional Works
Most small and mid-size organizations need 5–20 hours of CISO-level attention per month — not 40+. The fractional model delivers exactly what you need without the overhead.
