What Does a Fractional CISO Do?

$Riskadvize framework showing where a fractional CISO fits and common use cases$

A Fractional CISO connects business, technology, operations, vendors, and compliance to provide leadership with visibility, accountability, and defensible decisions.

Not a contractor working a task list, and not an engineer with a CISO title. A security executive, sized to the business.

With or without a security program in place, leadership can still struggle to understand where risk exists, who owns it, and what requires attention.

People, not products

Riskadvize provides security leadership and, when the work needs more hands, vetted staff through TSSI, its recruiting partner. It does not sell tools, run a managed service, or take fees from security vendors.

Not Sure If You Need a CISO?

Many organizations know cybersecurity matters but are unclear about what a CISO actually does or whether they need one at all.

A short conversation can usually determine:

$Five questions a first conversation with a fractional CISO answers$

Start with a conversation.

Not an assessment.

Not a commitment.

Just an objective discussion about your situation.

How engagement typically begins

Engagement starts with a conversation about a real situation an upcoming audit, recent incident, or unclear risk.

We determine if independent oversight is needed and define scope only where it creates value.
