Fractional CISO

Small and medium businesses often face the same cybersecurity threats as large enterprises but lack the resources to hire a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). A fractional CISO provides expert security leadership on a part-time or contract basis, offering strategic guidance without the cost of a full-time executive. They help small businesses develop and implement effective cybersecurity policies, manage compliance requirements, respond to incidents, and proactively reduce risk. With a fractional CISO, small and medium businesses gain access to high-level security expertise, stay protected against evolving threats, and build a resilient IT environment—affordably and efficiently.
