60% of small businesses close within six months of a cyberattack.

Regulatory requirements don't scale with business size...and neither do fines.
Whether your bottom line is $100k or $100mm, businesses in regulated industries must implement a Cybersecurity Program. The penalties for non-compliance don't scale down with revenue. A single HIPAA violation can carry fines up to $2.1 million per category. A PCI breach can cost a small merchant its ability to process cards entirely.
These consequences are existential for a small business.
Our Fractional CISO service delivers the strategic security leadership your organization needs—at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Everything a dedicated CISO and Information Security & Risk Management organization would deliver—scaled to your business and budget.
Comprehensive evaluation of your threat landscape, vulnerabilities, and business impact. We identify what matters most and quantify the risk so you can make informed decisions about where to invest.
Security policies are only useful if people follow them. We create clear, practical policies and distill them into meaningful processes and procedures that your team can actually execute day-to-day.
When a cybersecurity incident occurs, every minute counts. We develop and maintain your incident response plan, lead tabletop exercises, and provide hands-on response coordination when a real event strikes.
Your employees are your first line of defense—and your greatest vulnerability. We deliver ongoing security awareness training tailored to your industry, threat profile, and compliance requirements.
Your vendors and partners extend your attack surface. We assess third-party risk, review SOC reports, evaluate security questionnaires, and ensure your supply chain meets your security standards.
We establish and maintain a living risk register—tracking identified risks, assigning ownership, defining mitigation plans, and reporting progress to leadership. No risk falls through the cracks.
Translate technical risk into business language. We provide clear, actionable security reporting to your leadership team, board of directors, or investors—demonstrating governance and due diligence.
Evaluate your current infrastructure, cloud environments, and application stack for security gaps. We provide actionable recommendations prioritized by risk and aligned with your roadmap.
Whether you're facing a SOC 2 Type II audit, HIPAA assessment, or PCI QSA review, we prepare your organization, gather evidence, and serve as your security point of contact throughout the process.
Regulatory and industry frameworks increasingly require a designated security leader. We serve as that leader for your organization and ensure continuous compliance across every applicable standard.
A full-time CISO commands $200,000–$400,000+ in total compensation. Add the supporting team—security analysts, GRC specialists, architects—and the cost of a mature security function easily exceeds $1 million annually. For most SMBs, that's not feasible.
A Fractional CISO gives you:
We'll visit your location, evaluate your current security posture, and deliver a prioritized findings report—at no cost and no obligation.
