What is a Fractional CISO?

A Fractional Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is a part-time or on-demand security leader who designs and manages your cybersecurity strategy.
Unlike an IT manager, who runs day-to-day operations, a CISO ensures your governance, risk management, and compliance are aligned to business goals.
