Fractional CISOs vs Full-Time Hires

When security is scattered and every risk feels like a ticking clock — you don’t have six months to find a full-time hire. A fractional CISO steps in fast, takes control, and builds a security strategy that protects the business without slowing it down.

Fractional CIOs

A fractional CISO gives you senior-level security leadership exactly when you need it. Whether you're scaling fast, navigating compliance, or cleaning up risky systems, fractional leadership brings expertise without the overhead, cost, or delay of a full-time hire. We lock things down and build a plan that keeps your business protected and moving forward.

Full-Time Hires

A full-time CISO makes sense when your business is mature, your risk profile is high, and long-term security leadership is mission critical. But finding the right leader takes time — time to search, time to hire, and time to ramp. If you need action today or aren’t ready to commit to another executive salary, fractional leadership fills the gap and keeps the business secure while you plan for what’s next.
