Learn moreA fractional CISO, also called a vCISO or virtual CISO, is an experienced security leader who works with your company part-time instead of as a full-time hire. You get executive-level security leadership, a roadmap, and board reporting without the cost or hiring timeline of a full-time CISO.
In practice, the terms are used interchangeably. Both describe outsourced, part-time security leadership. Some firms use "vCISO" to emphasize remote delivery and "fractional CISO" to emphasize the part-time structure, but the role and responsibilities are the same.
A fractional CISO owns your security strategy and roadmap, manages risk, oversees compliance programs like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, reports to your executive team and board, and represents your security posture to customers and prospects during vendor reviews.
Common signals include closing enterprise deals that require security questionnaires or a SOC 2 report, a board or investor asking about your security program, or an engineering team that is handling security reactively without a dedicated owner. If any of that sounds familiar, it's usually the right time.
Cost depends on company size, the scope of work, and whether you need vCISO leadership alone or bundled with compliance program management. Engagements are typically structured as a monthly retainer rather than a full-time salary, which is a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

No. A fractional CISO works alongside your existing team, not instead of it. We set the security strategy, own the roadmap, and report to leadership, while your engineers keep building. Think of it as a security function your company doesn't have yet, added on top of the team you already have.
