WHAT'S A FRACTIONAL CISO?

Expert Guidance, at a fraction of the price.

Everyday, new cyberthreats emerge, new regulations are passed, and new victims are struck by cyber attacks. To solve these challenges, modern businesses need the expertise and guidance of a Chief Information Security Officer to keep their data secure and their organization prepared for the future.

The problem is, most businesses can’t support a full-time CISO (who make an average of $265,000 / year). 

Our Fractional CISO Program is built to bridge this gap: Giving our clients the expert guidance and strategy they need, without the overhead of a full time position.
