Common questions

Fractional CISO — FAQ

When do I need a Fractional CISO?

When you're pursuing enterprise customers who require security certifications, when you need SOC 2 Type II compliance, when you've had a security incident, or when investors are asking about your security posture.

How long does SOC 2 compliance take?

Typically 6–12 months for Type II. Our CISOs have run dozens of SOC 2 programmes and know exactly which controls to prioritise. We can have you audit-ready faster than going it alone.

Do we need a CISO if we're a small company?

If you handle customer data, process payments, or sell to enterprise clients — yes. Security incidents at small companies are disproportionately damaging. A Fractional CISO gives you protection without the $300K+ full-time salary.

How much does a Fractional CISO cost?

Typically $3,500–$12,000/month depending on engagement depth — compared to $250,000–$500,000 for a full-time Chief Information Security Officer. Most clients see ROI within the first 60 days. View our pricing tiers →

What is the minimum engagement length?

We recommend a minimum of 3 months to see measurable impact. Most clients stay 12–24 months. There are no long-term lock-ins — we earn your business every month.
