Fractional BISO

Experienced program judgment, without a full time hire.

Lean security teams need someone who can translate risk into business terms, keep a program moving, and speak for security in the room — without the cost of a full time executive. That's the gap fractional BISO support fills.

Who this supports

Teams with real security work and no one dedicated to own it.

01

Lean security or IT teams

You have engineers doing security work part time, but no one translating it for leadership.

02

Growing companies pre-hire

You're not ready for a full time CISO or BISO, but the program needs a steady hand now.

03

Post-assessment programs

An assessment produced findings. Someone needs to own turning them into a running program.

Typical responsibilities

Structured, recurring, and business-facing.

  • Risk translation — turning technical findings into business-relevant decisions
  • Business alignment — connecting the security program to what the company actually needs
  • Program coordination — keeping remediation, policy, and audit work moving between sessions
  • Executive communication — reporting progress and risk in terms leadership can act on
  • Cross functional security ownership — being the person who can speak for the program when asked

How it's structured

Strategic coordination, not operational staffing.

What fractional BISO support is

  • A recurring monthly engagement — typically structured leadership and coordination time each month
  • Focused on direction, prioritization, and executive-facing communication
  • A resource who can plug into existing meetings, reporting cadences, and tooling

What it is not

  • Full time operational staffing — we're not doing day to day hands-on-keyboard work as a headcount replacement
  • A substitute for a dedicated security hire once the company reaches that scale
  • An open-ended retainer with no defined monthly scope

Typical engagement: $5,000–$12,000 monthly, scoped to the size of the program and the level of involvement needed. Starting or typical language only — final pricing depends on scope.
