Fractional CISO
Senior security leadership on a part-time basis: someone who owns the security strategy, makes the risk calls a manager should not have to make alone, and answers for both at board level.
The roster is full, and I am keeping it that way. Good fractional leadership is not something you can do at volume.
Still worth talking. I will tell you honestly where you sit, what is likely to open up and when, and what I would do in the meantime if I were you.
Owns the security strategy and answers for it at board level
Makes the risk calls that a manager should not have to make alone
Translates between the technical team and the executive
Runs the certification or accreditation program rather than watching it
Is accountable when something goes wrong
An AI Governance or security posture advisory engagement, not an ongoing role.
An ISO 27001 or RFFR engagement.
That one genuinely wants a fractional CISO.
Tell me which you have and I will tell you honestly which of those it is.
