Lorna J. CFO Non-Profit Trade Group

Many of our enterprise customers were looking for assurance on how one of our new features works and that it is operating in a secure manner. We hired Fractional CISO in part to create a cybersecurity whitepaper to explain how our new feature is secure. They did an amazing job, resulting in better customer acceptance of the feature and we continue to work with them in other areas and departments of the company to review security.
