The Six Situations That Usually Start the Conversation

Most clients don’t come to us proactively. Something happened — or something’s about to.

📋

A Customer Sent a Security Questionnaire

Enterprise clients and enterprise-adjacent vendors are now requiring security documentation before they’ll sign contracts. We help you answer accurately — and build the program behind it.

💰

Cyber Insurance Renewal Time

Your premiums doubled, or your carrier added requirements you can’t meet. A fractional CISO closes the gaps that get policies cancelled and premiums inflated.

🚨

A Peer Business Was Breached

When someone in your industry gets hit with ransomware or a data breach, it changes the conversation. That gut feeling that “we should check on this” is worth acting on.

⚕️

Compliance Deadline Is Real This Time

HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, CMMC for government contracts — these aren’t optional frameworks. We’ve guided dozens of small businesses through compliance without derailing operations.

👨‍💼

Leadership Is Asking the Hard Questions

A new partner, board member, or investor is asking what your security posture looks like. You need answers and a plan — not just reassurance.

📂

No Security Policies or Documentation

You’ve been operating on good intentions and have no written policies, no incident response plan, and no security documentation. We fix that quickly and affordably.

What We Do For You

Your Fractional CISO Does More Than Advise

We build, implement, and maintain your security program alongside you every month.

🔍

Risk Assessment & Gap Analysis

We map your current state against industry frameworks and identify the gaps that matter most — in plain language, prioritized by risk, not by what’s easiest to fix.

📄

Policy & Documentation Package

Acceptable use, incident response, data classification, vendor management, and more — written for your business, not copied from a generic template.

🎓

Security Awareness Training

Quarterly phishing awareness and security training for your team. The most effective single investment in reducing breach risk for small businesses.

👥

Vendor & Third-Party Risk

Your vendors are part of your security perimeter. We review the tools, platforms, and partners you depend on and identify hidden risks before they become incidents.

📞

Incident Response Planning

A tested plan for what happens when something goes wrong. Who calls who. What you say to customers. How you contain the damage. Done before you need it.

🏆

Compliance Framework Navigation

HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, CMMC, GDPR, state privacy laws — we map your requirements, build your evidence library, and prepare you for audits or customer reviews.

The Reality

The Full-Time CISO Math Doesn’t Work for Most Small Businesses

A full-time CISO costs $250,000–$400,000 per year in salary, benefits, and overhead. For a 20-person company, that’s simply not realistic.

But “we can’t afford a CISO” isn’t a security strategy. Most small businesses need strategic security leadership for 10–20 hours per month — not 40. That’s exactly what a fractional model delivers.
