We need help with risk management, but…
Get access to GRC experts who manage complex risk programs for dozens of organizations every year. Our U.S.-based team of vCISO professionals has built and led risk frameworks across industries, ensuring that clients stay ahead of cyber threats and changing regulations.
Shift from risk reactive to proactive through a solid risk management program. This program will give your organization the plan it needs to anticipate and mitigate threats before they cause damage, complete with a risk register, governance structure, and measurable KPIs.
Create a clear, quantified risk program that connects the dots in ways that tools alone can’t. Navigate the building of your program with time-tested vCISO experts who draw on proven frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CMMC, always tying initiatives to specific business goals.
Get a combination of executive strategy with hands-on expertise as an extension of your leadership team. Every cyber risk engagement is led by a U.S.-based vCISO and supported by a dedicated cybersecurity analyst, ensuring each security decision drives your business goals.
Focus your resources where they’ll make the greatest difference with our quantitative approach to decision-making. Since each business has different vulnerabilities and risk profiles, we tailor your program to the threats specific to your organization. Each decision we make from there is based on minimizing risk and maximizing business results.
Fractional CISO does not accept incentives from vendors or platform providers, so you can be sure the tools we recommend are right for your business, without ever having to worry you’re being pushed a particular product.
By identifying your most pressing vulnerabilities and creating stronger defenses against threats, you decrease the likelihood and severity of any security incidents. Cyber risk consultants can help you prioritize your remediation efforts around risks with the greatest potential impact, protecting your data, uptime, and reputation.
Create a proactive, formal risk management program that allows your organization to respond quickly to incidents and adapt as necessary to reduce business disruption. You’ll work closely with cyber risk consultants to run tabletop exercises to ensure your team is well-versed in their incident response plan under pressure.
Demonstrate risk management maturity to strengthen your business case with insurers (and clients). Cyber risk consultants can help you prepare for your next audit with the correct documentation and evidence, so you can confidently pursue certifications.
Cyber risk consulting is ideal for any organization that handles sensitive information, relies on customer trust, or is subject to regulatory scrutiny. Possible industries include (but are not limited to):
Small and midsize businesses often don’t have the resources or team members to dedicate to building risk management programs. Because our team is fractional, you get our full attention, including enterprise-level expertise without the full-time cost. Likewise, we work with larger organizations to enhance and function as an extension of their security teams but with the added benefit of vCISO leadership, board-level reporting, and cross-framework alignment.
Don’t just take our word for it, read our case study about how we helped WayPath Consulting become SOC 2 compliant:
CTO of WayPath Consulting
Fractional CISO has enabled us to showcase best-in-class security, putting us on-par with firms much larger in employee count. They allow me to re-invest time previously spent on day-to-day management into growing and improving our business.”
Cyber risk consulting evaluates your risk profile in-depth to create a proactive plan to reduce risk over time, while compliance consulting is focused on preparing for a specific standard or certification. In other words, compliance consulting helps you pass an audit, while cyber risk consulting dives deeper to identify and mitigate threats, building a more resilient organization.
The most important deliverables are your actionable risk register, a prioritized mitigation roadmap (complete with ideal timelines), and executive-level reporting that translates the technical measures you’re taking into business terms that stakeholders, the board, and the rest of the C-suite can understand. Depending on your needs, you may also receive guidance through specific frameworks that make sense for your program, and ongoing recommendations for improvement.
A small business can absolutely afford cyber risk consulting, especially since the alternative is to hire a full-time CISO (quite the investment). Our team is skilled at scaling the engagement to your company size, complexity, and budget, and you’ll always gain the same strategic advantage of working with seasoned vCISO experts, whether you’re an SMB or large enterprise.
Know where your organization’s cyber risk program stands with just one 30-minute call with our vCISO-led team. We’ll analyze your current posture, highlight your most significant vulnerabilities, and outline specific steps to strengthen your program.
Only 1/3 of cyber insurance policies actually pay out in incidents. Most companies have cyber insurance policies that insure too little, or too much, and have absurdly low caps and silly exclusions.
