Sometimes, one person with a GRC tool and a go-getter’s attitude just isn’t enough. Fractional CISO solves hard security and compliance challenges with industry-leading knowledge and high-quality programs.
Fractional CISO’s Virtual CISOs (vCISO) play the same role in your organization that a full-time CISO does. We give your organization the capability to evaluate its product and corporate security posture. Design, implement, and manage your ongoing cybersecurity program. Achieve compliance and regulatory success. Your vCISO can even provide cybersecurity input to your board of directors! Fractional CISO grants your organization the expertise needed to develop your GRC program to match and support your business plans for years to come.
Our vCISOs can complete a number of cybersecurity projects on your behalf. We commonly perform risk assessments, internal audits, and due diligence evaluations.
A part-time vCISO provides full-time cybersecurity benefits. Plan, implement, and manage a custom cybersecurity program suited to your organization’s unique needs.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, TX-RAMP – you name it, our Virtual CISOs have done it! With Fractional CISO, you can rest easy. Our clients have never failed a cybersecurity compliance audit.
Bad guys know the easiest way to a company’s data is often through their vendors, so organizations now expect those vendors to do everything possible to protect their data.
And the burden of proof is on the provider: cybersecurity questionnaires, compliance, and regulations – SOC 2, PCI DSS, TX-RAMP, HIPAA, and more – all ways to prove that a vendor has trustworthy cybersecurity.
If you are a B2B vendor, you’re likely feeling the strain. GRC projects take valuable time away from high-ranking employees. You have your own cybersecurity risks to manage. Full-time CISOs are expensive to hire and hard to retain.
With Fractional CISO, you aren’t just hiring a consultant. You’re adding a highly accessible U.S.-based cybersecurity team consisting of an experienced Virtual CISO and a skilled cybersecurity analyst to your organization.

No two businesses are built the same. Would cookie-cutter guidance be enough for you? We quantify the cyber risks facing your business and integrate them with your goals to build a custom GRC program uniquely designed for your long-term success.
Most cybersecurity and IT consultants collect commissions or finder’s fees when they recommend certain tools or partner businesses to their clients. We only recommend the tools that are right for your business and take no kickbacks, ever.
Fractional CISO was a valuable partner while we built our cybersecurity program and ultimately our SOC 2 compliance.

Fractional CISO actually reduced the cost of our cybersecurity operations while managing our risk! They determined which tools and practices were not effective and eliminated them from our budget. We replaced the tools with new, less expensive options that better fit our company’s needs and capabilities.
With so many security questionnaires coming from our enterprise partners, we knew it was time to focus on cybersecurity. Fractional CISO helped with sales enablement while building out a security management team for us from scratch. Then, they developed our program, helped us with documentation and critical issue remediation and ultimately led us to SOC 2 compliance!
Fractional CISO has been instrumental in transforming our cybersecurity program. The cybersecurity team they’ve provided us has seamlessly integrated with our organization, allowing our product team to focus on innovation. We highly recommend their services.

Our cybersecurity program has gotten off to a terrific start with the help from Fractional CISO. They’ve created and customized policies, helped us find and evaluate key vendors and assisted us in reducing risk, all in the first few months of our engagement!
